MTC has committed N$624.9 million in capital expenditure for the 2025/26 financial year as the telecommunications operator accelerates investment in network infrastructure, connectivity expansion and digital services across Namibia.
The investment was announced during the ICT High-Level Stakeholder Engagement held in Oshakati.
According to MTC Chief Brand, Marketing, Communications and Sustainability Officer Tim Ekandjo, the funding will support a range of infrastructure and technology projects aimed at improving network performance and expanding national connectivity.
“This capital allocation is supporting initiatives such as network optimisation and modernisation, information and communication technology upgrades, transmission expansion, construction of new network towers, power infrastructure investments for network sites,” Ekandjo said.
He said the company will continue expanding transmission infrastructure and building new towers to support rising data demand and improve access to telecommunications services, particularly in underserved and remote areas.
“In line with our strategic rollout plan, we will continue constructing new network towers and expanding transmission infrastructure to support increasing data demand and improve nationwide connectivity. This investment is particularly important in extending network coverage to underserved and remote areas, ensuring broader access to reliable telecommunications services for all Namibians,” Ekandjo said.
MTC said part of the investment will also be directed towards strengthening power infrastructure at network sites to improve operational continuity and increase network resilience.
The telecommunications operator added that a portion of the capital budget has been allocated to new strategic business initiatives aligned with its long-term growth and innovation plans.
The investment comes as Namibia continues to expand digital infrastructure and connectivity amid growing demand for data services, digital platforms and ICT-enabled economic activity.
