South Africa

About us

Paratus South Africa is a leading specialist connectivity provider. Spanning the country, we connect your enterprise from Cape Town to Johannesburg and to Africa and beyond.

The heart of
Africa’s network

We provide fiber, wireless, satellite and SDWAN solutions that are advanced enough to support the ambitions of enterprises, big and small, and personal enough to keep homes connected. We connect your business or your home, no matter where you are located, to the rest of the country, to the rest of Africa and to the rest of the world.

As a multi-national organisation firmly rooted in Africa, we have an extensive and largely independent Africa network, and through special relationships with strategically selected partner carrier networks, we deliver a world-class collaborative pan-African network. As owners and managers of our own pan-African network, we are uniquely positioned to offer 100% coverage across South Africa and an extensive double routing system that delivers an end-to-end, single-point service solution to your door. Part of our offering includes our Trans-Kalahari Fiber (TKF), and through this highway, we offer you high speed and low latency connectivity.

Your aspirations are our inspiration.

We guarantee maximum uptime because our connections are all provided on a stable, reliable, and unlimited network that is scalable and provides redundancy, disaster recovery, and route diversity.

Paratus South Africa is part of the Paratus Group, which is the largest privately owned pan-African network operator. We have always stuck fast to our vision for establishing Africa’s quality network and to transform Africa through exceptional digital infrastructure and customer service.

To make this happen, we have:

  • Invested in own our infrastructure.
  • Five satellite teleports with 5 000 customer sites.
  • Built an expansive Fiber network that connects the West to the East coast of Africa.
  • Operational teams across key SADC markets, including Angola, Botswana, DRC, Eswatini, Namibia, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia, Kenya and Tanzania
  • International points of presence (PoPs) in the USA, the UK, and Europe.
  • An extended network through satellite connectivity services across multiple African countries
  • Four Paratus owned and built Tier-III state of the art Data Center facilities in three African countries.
  • A contiguous network footprint in southern Africa – one of the Paratus data centers is in Lusaka
  • This means we can better serve our customers across Africa with a seamless quality network service and with a range of highly sophisticated network solutions and packages.
  • Over two decades, Paratus has grown into a full-service African telecommunications network. We continuously raise the connectivity bar to support Africa’s people and businesses.

You receive seamless quality network service and a range of highly sophisticated network solutions and packages.

Paratus was born and bred in Africa, and we have African ambitions in our sights because we want our customers to be free to innovate, pioneer, and overcome boundaries in their quest for success. We understand that you need the best quality connectivity to succeed. Our world-class technology is delivered by our passionate and professional teams across the continent, and we are bound by a clear intent to help unleash the uncorked potential in Africa.

Over the last two decades, Paratus has grown into a full-service African telecommunications network spanning the continent, connected to the world. We continue to grow, to raise the connectivity bar and to disrupt the norm, because we want the people of Africa, and the businesses they own and run, to flourish. We are providing the main artery carrying their life blood to a successful future.

Paratus has highly skilled operational teams in seven African countries – Angola, Botswana, DRC, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zambia. Our extended network provides a satellite connectivity-focused service for Africa, and we also connect more than 15 African countries through a distributed reseller network across the continent.
