Namibia has officially joined the global 5G club, with Mobile Telecommunications Company (MTC) becoming the country’s first operator to launch fifth-generation mobile services. 

The rollout was announced Monday during the Ongwediva Annual Trade Fair, marking a historic leap in the nation’s digital journey. Starting with Ongwediva, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, and Windhoek, the network will expand nationwide over the coming months, promising faster speeds, seamless connectivity, and fresh opportunities for innovation.

5G rollout in Namibia brings faster speeds and broader horizons

MTC confirmed that the 5G network is already live in four central locations, with a wider rollout planned.

The company said the technology will unlock new possibilities across sectors ranging from healthcare and agriculture to gaming and financial services.

“The connectivity power and seamlessness that come with 5G are exactly what we need to propel digital transformation in areas like Internet of Things, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and payments,” said Monica Nehemia, MTC’s Chief Technical and Information Officer, at the launch.

By positioning 5G as a backbone for industry and everyday life, MTC aims to strengthen Namibia’s competitiveness while bridging the digital divide between urban and rural communities.

From trials to triumph with MTC and Huawei

The launch follows more than a year of groundwork. In March 2024, in partnership with Huawei, MTC successfully conducted Namibia’s first 5G trial at its Olympia headquarters in Windhoek, achieving speeds of 1.4 gigabits per second. That milestone came shortly after the government lifted its moratorium on 5G and allocated spectrum to operators through the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN).

Government leaders, including Information Minister Emma Theofelus, hailed the trial as a step toward realising Namibia’s 2030 industrialisation goals.

Officials emphasised that adopting next-generation technologies is critical for advancing e-governance, e-health, and e-commerce, pillars of the country’s digital economy agenda.

Huawei Namibia’s Managing Director, Michael Zhang, reaffirmed the company’s long-term commitment: “We will work closely with MTC to deploy high-quality 5G infrastructure that enables new services for communities, businesses, and industries.”

Building Namibia’s innovative digital economy by 2030

The deployment of 5G is not just about faster downloads; it is a foundation for Namibia’s future. MTC envisions the technology powering innovations like telemedicine, smart irrigation for agriculture, immersive education platforms, and industrial automation. For businesses, the low latency and higher capacity of 5G mean more reliable operations and entirely new services.

MTC’s leadership has tied this rollout to the country’s larger vision of becoming an innovative digital enabler by 2030. With industries set to benefit from real-time data, cloud integration, and Internet of Things connectivity, the network could help Namibia leapfrog stages of development and boost its role in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

“Our ambition is to ensure that Namibians not only access world-class technology but also use it to innovate, scale businesses, and create opportunities,” MTC noted in its launch statement.

Namibia’s 5G era has officially begun, and the race is now on to see how quickly businesses, government, and everyday users can harness this powerful technology. As the rollout expands beyond its first four cities, MTC’s commitment to bridging the digital divide suggests that 5G will become more than just faster internet—it could be the spark for Namibia’s next economic transformation.
