Paratus Group, a leading Pan-African telecommunications and network services provider, has officially expanded its presence to Kenya through a joint venture with MoveOn Telecoms Ltd, a Nairobi-based IT and ISP company. This strategic move marks a significant step in Paratus Group’s mission to strengthen its footprint across Africa, particularly in East Africa, by focusing on providing and installing Starlink services in Kenya.
Paratus Group was recently named an Authorized Reseller of Starlink’s global Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services across Africa, and this joint venture with MoveOn Telecoms Ltd will enhance Starlink’s high-speed, broadband internet offerings in the region. The partnership combines Paratus’ global connectivity expertise with MoveOn’s established local presence, which has been operational in Kenya since 2015, offering ICT solutions backed by a highly skilled team.
Joseph Kibwott, the Managing Director of Paratus Kenya, expressed excitement about the potential impact of this joint venture. He highlighted that the move aims to foster economic development and growth in Kenya by creating job opportunities, both directly and indirectly. Paratus Kenya’s mission goes beyond providing reliable internet connectivity; it is committed to transforming the digital landscape of the country by enabling access to e-government services, remote work, telemedicine, and real-time security solutions.
With Starlink’s ability to deliver high-speed, stable, and broadband internet through a simple, scalable hardware platform, Paratus Kenya is poised to revolutionize internet access, especially in the most remote regions of the country. By eliminating dependency on local infrastructure, Starlink ensures that businesses and individuals in these areas can maintain consistent connectivity, with over 99.5% up-time across all customers. This reliability is crucial for driving local economic growth and digital empowerment.
Martin Cox, Chief Commercial Officer of Paratus Group, underscored the importance of this expansion into Kenya, noting that it strengthens Paratus’ overall network service offering and aligns with their broader strategy for the East African region. This expansion represents a major milestone in the company’s mission to provide enhanced connectivity to underserved and unserved countries across sub-Saharan Africa, directly contributing to the region’s digital economy.
The collaboration between Paratus Group and MoveOn Telecoms Ltd in installing Starlink services in Kenya exemplifies their commitment to bridging the digital divide and supporting the growth of the local economy. As the country continues to embrace technological advancements, Paratus Kenya’s services will play a pivotal role in ensuring that no one is left behind in the digital transformation.
