Home Archived Cell One Expands to the Coast

By Staff reporter SWAKOPMUND Namibia’s latest competitor in the race to enhance the country’s mobile telecommunications infrastructure Cell One has thus far invested one billion Namibian dollars to put their foot onto the racecourse. Another development was that 40 distributors of Cell One products and services from two coastal towns yesterday received training ahead of the mobile operator’s opening of its shops in the areas. The training workshop aimed at acquainting the distributors with Cell One products and services and also providing them with valuable knowledge of the industry. Cell One’s Chief Executive Officer, Lars Christian Luel, said the training would ensure that the company’s airtime and starter packs are not only easily accessible but that a good level of service comes along with it. The company wants to focus on provision of exceptional services to its clients. Since its launch, the company, which obtained a license in 2006, has opened seven shops in Windhoek, Oshakati and Ondangwa, with the coastal areas to be opened soon, according to Cell One’s Chief Marketing Officer, Ivar Talmoen. He added that the company’s focus is to have 90 percent coverage where people live. Cell One, whose legal company is Powercom, is owned by Telecom Management Partners (TMP), Nampower, Nammic, Old Mutual and the Educational Trust. So far, the company has covered Windhoek and the northern areas of Oskakati, Oshituma, Oshikuku, Oshuungu, Oniimwandi, Onguthiya, Ongwediva, Omaalala, Indangungu, Ondangwa, Ombathi and Tsandi.
