AfricaOnline Namibia and Radio Electronic have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to jointly evaluate how OneWebโs Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology could strengthen broadband connectivity across Namibia, particularly in rural, remote and geographically challenging areas where traditional infrastructure remains limited.
The collaboration will assess the technical, commercial and operational viability of satellite-enabled connectivity solutions that complement Namibiaโs existing telecommunications infrastructure, with potential applications across agriculture, mining, tourism, education, healthcare, logistics and government services.
โNamibiaโs digital future depends on ensuring that connectivity reaches every sector of the economy, not only those located within established network footprints,โ said Ingram van Heerden, Managing Director of Africa Online.
โNamibiaโs geography presents unique connectivity challenges that require innovative and adaptable solutions,โ said Francois du Toit, Chief Executive Officer of Radio Electronic (Pty) Ltd. โBy combining our respective expertise, we have an opportunity to evaluate technologies that could strengthen national connectivity and unlock new possibilities for industries and communities operating in remote environments.โ
Over the coming months, both organisations will undertake technical studies, commercial evaluations and market assessments to identify potential deployment opportunities and determine where satellite-enabled services can deliver the greatest value.
The Letter of Intent marks an important strategic milestone in exploring innovative connectivity solutions that can support Namibiaโs digital economy, strengthen national resilience and improve access to modern communications infrastructure.
Africa Online and Radio Electronic look forward to exploring the possibilities of next-generation connectivity for a more connected Namibia.
