Paratus Zambia announces the completion of its metro fibre network, in partnership with Meta. Paratus Zambia, a subsidiary of the pan-African network operator Paratus Group, began the project in Q4 of 2022 to construct a 700km open access metro fibre network that will improve high-quality connectivity in under-served communities in 10 Zambian cities and towns.
The project has created hundreds of jobs for local communities, has enhanced existing Paratus infrastructure and will now offer more reliable services and improved coverage. The network will also link to the Paratus carrier-neutral data centre in Lusaka, where Paratus serves local businesses directly with high-quality connectivity, colocation and cloud services.
Paratus Zambia Country Manager Marius van Vuuren says: “We are very proud to have worked with Meta on this project and we are delighted to be helping to provide millions of people and thousands of businesses with the opportunity to connect to the internet via a faster and more secure fibre network. This intervention aligns with our overall group strategy to transform Africa through exceptional digital infrastructure and customer service.
Born and bred in Africa, Paratus is thinking big as it grows its footprint to deliver Africa’s quality network. By understanding the unique opportunities that Africa offers businesses and individuals to break boundaries and to connect without limits, Paratus is committed to raising the bar for providing quality connectivity in Africa.
