Africa-Press<\/a> – Namibia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Swakopmund, Aug 22- On Friday (20 August), MTC and the leadership of the Municipality<\/p>\n

of Swakopmund embarked on a long-term strategic cooperation by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which will see the two parties collaborate in supporting the Namibian public sector through the provision of innovative and digital solutions.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the signing ceremony in Swakopmund, MTC\u2019s Managing Director, Dr Licky Erastus highlighted that \u201cthe MOU is a framework of cooperation that will facilitate strategic partnership which will edge the town of Swakopmund to transform from a traditional coastal town to a smart coastal town, with a vibrant and connected digital ecosystem.<\/p>\n

We believe that the fruits of this<\/p>\n

partnership will translate into attracting post-Covid economic activity in new areas and also infuse life in the traditional sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the occasion, his Worship Deputy Mayor of Swakopmund, David Am-!Gabeb expressed that<\/p>\n

\u201ccouncil has a vision to transform Swakopmund into a smart city. And as part of this smart city<\/p>\n

concept, our aim is to enhance developmental activities which focuses on digital technologies to<\/p>\n

improve customer experience. We are therefore delighted to partner with the digital enabler,<\/p>\n

MTC, who has committed to help the council towards realizing the goal of becoming a smart<\/p>\n

town.\u201d<\/p>\n

With this partnership, Swakopmund town aims to achieve smart metering, enhanced service<\/p>\n

delivery, processes and systems efficiency, transform government transaction services, data-<\/p>\n

driven business processes, better access to and management of information, enhance citizen<\/p>\n

satisfaction, and supporting and nurturing local digital innovation and solutions.<\/p>\n

MTC\u2019s Chief Commercial Officer, Melvin Angula, underscored that to become a smart sustainable<\/p>\n

town, fostering partnership between utilities providers and telecommunications operators is key.<\/p>\n

\u201cUtilities need telecommunication infrastructure that is stable, secure, reliable and interoperable<\/p>\n

to support a high volume of ICT-based applications and services. And for the past two years, MTC has worked tirelessly to meet such requirements. As a digital enabler, we have embarked on adopting recent developments in the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and smart grids and meters to drive and support the development of smart sustainable cities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
