Paratus Group Opens in Kenya To Provide and Install Starlink Services

Pan-African telecommunications and network services provider, Paratus Group has expanded to Kenya. The company has expanded into the country through a joint venture with Nairobi-based IT and ISP company, MoveOn Telecoms Ltd.

The newly formed company will primarily focus on providing and installing Starlink services in Kenya.

Last year, Paratus was announced as an Authorised Reseller of Starlink global LEO (low earth orbit) satellite services across Africa. Paratus Kenya’s launch follows soon after last month’s opening of Paratus Eswatini.

Moveon Telecoms Limited (MTL) has been licensed since 2015 by the Communication Authority of Kenya and Registrar of Companies to offer ICT solutions in Kenya. MTL offers experience and expertise across the entire spectrum of telecoms solutions, backed by a highly qualified team providing customer and technical support.

MD of Paratus Kenya, Joseph Kibwott says that the joint venture is tremendously exciting for Kenya. “Paratus Kenya is committed to driving economic development and GDP growth by directly and indirectly creating jobs.”

”Stable and reliable internet connectivity plays a pivotal role in this mission and offers a transformative digital platform that provides access to e-government services, remote work opportunities, real-time security solutions and telemedicine. Enhanced connectivity in the most remote areas empowers Kenyans and fosters growth in our local economies. Together, we can build a brighter, more connected future for everyone in Kenya.”

Starlink provides high speed, broadband internet using a simple, scalable hardware platform that can be easily distributed across locations around the world. Unbounded by local infrastructure and designed to support multiple paths back to the internet, Starlink provides reliable service to ensure businesses may always keep operating. Across its network, Starlink maintains greater than 99.5% up-time across all customers – and higher for unobstructed installations. Up-time is measured without mitigating factors, such as weather and wire-cut outages. Starlink currently provides services to thousands of business locations and serves customers in a multitude of capacities, including primary enterprise connectivity, replacement of 4G and VSAT, backup, interim setup and emergency services.

“By expanding into a key East African territory, we are further strengthening our total network service offering.” Paratus Group Chief Commercial Officer, Martin Cox added.

”Opening in East Africa has been one of our primary objectives and this is a significant milestone for us as it spearheads our strategy in the region. It’s also a giant step forward in our mission to provide access to connectivity to un-served and under-served African countries south of the equator. We are delighted to be partnering with MoveOn and to install Starlink services in Kenya.”
