Paratus Zambia Unveils Tarana ngFWA, Bringing Fiber-Class Wireless Connectivity Nationwide

Paratus Zambia,  a leading provider of Data Center, Cloud and Connectivity solutions, has once again demonstrated its leadership in the telecommunications sector with the introduction of Tarana’s next-generation Fixed Wireless Access (ngFWA) technology. This marks the first deployment of Tarana’s advanced wireless solution in Zambia.

While this innovation complements the existing Paratus infrastructure, this development represents far more than a routine upgrade. By integrating Tarana into its network, Paratus Zambia will be able to deliver true fiber-class connectivity wirelessly, making high performance connectivity accessible to more homes and businesses across the country. This advancement redefines what wireless connectivity can deliver in Zambia as it enables faster speeds, greater stability and improved user experience, resulting in improved customer value for money.

Tarana’s platform can deliver fast speeds, with link capacities of up to 1.6 Gbps and strong performance even in high-interference or congested environments. This ensures a smoother, more consistent experience for users, even during peak hours or in challenging deployment areas.

“The launch of Tarana’s ngFWA technology reflects our commitment to invest in innovation that genuinely improves how people experience connectivity. With Tarana, we can now offer excellent performance without the cost or time constraints of physical fiber infrastructure. It’s a meaningful shift in how quickly and reliably we can connect our users.”
