The Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) and Botswana Fibre Networks have signed an agreement to strengthen cross-border digital connectivity between Namibia and Botswana.
According to a statement issued yesterday, the agreement was signed on 18 February in Gaborone, Botswana.
The agreement is expected to enhance digital infrastructure collaboration between the two countries and the broader Southern African Development Community region.
According to the joint announcement, the agreement establishes a structured framework for capacity exchange and Internet Protocol transit collaboration between Namibia and Botswana.
It will also support the Buitepos-Ngoma corridor, described as a critical route to enhance network resilience and optimise latency across both nations’ digital networks.
MTC managing director Licky Erastus says the agreement aligns with the company’s strategic priority of expanding regional connectivity and developing a strong digital corridor.
“This partnership provides the framework guiding our transformation. It aligns with our strategic pillar of expanding our core and building the future through digital infrastructure leadership and ecosystem partnerships,” Erastus says.
He adds that the Buitepos-Ngoma corridor is central to MTC’s international ambitions.
“The Buitepos-Ngoma corridor is a key route to our international expansion strategy, providing an operational entry point into the Botswana wholesale ecosystem while reinforcing Namibia’s position as a transit and digital gateway market,” Erastus says.
He says the engagement is strategic at a national level and contributes to regional digital resilience and strengthened bilateral relations between Namibia and Botswana.
