Demand
The essence of any smart city is reliable connectivity. That means a robust telecommunication backbone. The ICT industry, due to the pandemic, has shifted into high gear to accommodate the sudden demand for remote working and learning. “To keep up with the demand, we as Telecom Namibia, under our strategic drive called Operation Autumn Cleaning or OAC 2.0, continues to review our product and service offerings to ensure we remain relevant to the market and that we are able to meet our customers’ demands. This partnership with Ongos Valley is a testament of our commitment towards our digital transformation goal of being a ‘digital telco’, a true Techno, “he said.
Shanapinda adds that the fourth (4th) Industrial revolution is upon us, with the implementation of 5G drawing closer and closer. One of the important areas in which 5G technologies will play a crucial role is the internet of things (IoT), which will boost the emergence of smart cities, asset tracking, smart utilities, and security infrastructure. Telecom Namibia will ensure that Ongos Valley’s telecommunication and ICT needs, and infrastructure are aligned with and can be benchmarked with world class best practises and standards. And when it’s time to move over to 5G, Telecom Namibia will ensure that it’s done in an agile and swift manner to ensure the residence of Ongos Valley are empowered with smart mobility, remote work, online education, and telehealth, he said.
