In keeping with its commitment to improving telecommunications services throughout the region, Telecom Namibia commemorated the official reopening of its Teleshop in Omaruru on Friday.
Situated in the centre of Omaruru, the facility is a testament to Telecom Namibia’s dedication to offering dependable, cutting-edge ICT solutions. Residents, community leaders, and distinguished visitors attended the formal reopening ceremony.
The reopening of the Omaruru Teleshop is a calculated move that aligns with Telecom Namibia’s 2023–2027 Integrated Strategic Business Plan. It highlights the organisation’s dedication to customer satisfaction, service improvement, and network modernisation.
Telecom Namibia is pursuing these objectives by expanding its mobile base stations in the Erongo Region and speeding up the rollout of fibre infrastructure to enhance connectivity for residential, business, and government customers.
After thoroughly examining the area’s economic situation, strategic needs, and room for expansion, the decision was made to reopen the Omaruru Teleshop.
Why Omaruru
Several vital considerations influenced this choice, including:
- The continuous development of Telecom Namibia’s nationwide fixed and mobile network infrastructure.
- Omaruru’s varied economy, which includes essential industries like manufacturing and farming, offers a solid basis for telecom services.
- Ample water resources and current mobile, fixed-wireless, and VSAT connectivity promote sustainable agricultural development.
- Omaruru’s position in a tourist belt emphasises the importance of dependable connectivity and communication.
- Mineral deposits in the neighbourhood suggest that the mining industry may expand.
- The contrast between low direct internet connectivity and high mobile phone and radio penetration reveals significant potential for improved services.
Benefits
This reopening is perfect for Omaruru’s thriving service sector, which includes banking, tourism, government, healthcare, and education. The newly reopened Teleshop will benefit all of these sectors significantly.
The government benefits from dependable infrastructure, healthcare from smooth patient communication, and education from improved internet access for learning. Banking services depend on secure networks, and tourism benefits greatly from increased connectivity for reservations and visitor experiences.
By offering localised, easily accessible support and cutting-edge telecommunications solutions, The Teleshop directly bridges the connectivity gap, equipping locals and businesses with vital digital tools and promoting economic growth in all industries.
Telecom Namibia’s commitment to Omaruru
Telecom Namibia’s dedication to the community is demonstrated by the reopening of the Teleshop, which offers improved access to its products and individualised, in-person assistance from qualified agents.
“Today is more than just the reopening of a Teleshop; it’s about creating stronger connections, fostering growth, and building a brighter future for Omaruru, its people, and the surrounding areas,” underlined His Worship the Mayor, Honourable Vincent Kahua of Omaruru, during the ceremony.
He added that the new Teleshop is a “significant investment that will help meet the growing demand for communication and information in our community,” demonstrating Telecom Namibia’s dedication to providing the area with cutting-edge technology and first-rate service.
Philanthropic gestures
Telecom Namibia staff members, represented by Mr. Elton Vries, Senior Regional Commercial Manager for the Erongo Region, gave N$4,000 worth of sanitary towels to S.I. Gobs Secondary School as a powerful demonstration of community support.
This contribution reflects the employees’ dedication to community upliftment, education, and dignity.
