PortaOne showcased transformative telecom solutions at AfricaCom 2024 in Cape Town. The company connected with clients across Africa and introduced new innovations. Klaus Haertel, Director of Global Channel & Alliances, outlined PortaOne’s focus on efficiency and mobility-driven technology.
Haertel highlighted their billing and soft switch platform as a tool to streamline operations for service providers. PortaOne emphasized its commitment to markets like South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya. “AfricaCom is a chance to connect with clients and showcase our platforms,” Klaus said.
South Africa is a key market for PortaOne. Each year, they hold a client meetup in Johannesburg. Klaus described it as a tradition. “Instead of spending days visiting clients individually, we bring them together for a collaborative session filled with discussions, panels, and great food,” he said.
The event fosters collaboration, encourages networking, and strengthens relationships with local partners. PortaOne values these interactions as essential to its African strategy.

PortaOne Addressing Challenges in African Telecoms
Klaus identified two major challenges in Africa’s telecom industry: shrinking voice margins and a lack of skilled personnel. PortaOne’s cloud-based solutions tackle these issues effectively.
“With cloud technologies, we reduce the stress for service providers. They need fewer personnel to manage servers, and we handle their installations remotely via cloud systems,” Klaus explained.
PortaOne helps service providers consolidate their platforms, improving efficiency and cutting costs. These solutions align with Africa’s growing need for modern and scalable telecom infrastructure.
African markets rely heavily on mobile networks. This dependence drives innovation, shaping the telecom landscape. PortaOne designs solutions to meet this mobility-driven demand.
“In Africa, innovation often starts with mobility. Our mission is to ensure our solutions integrate seamlessly into this dynamic ecosystem,” Klaus emphasized.
PortaOne’s adaptable, future-proof technologies are transforming African connectivity. Their collaboration with local partners ensures these solutions meet the region’s unique needs.
