Paratus Group has launched operations in Tanzania through a joint venture with Green Telecom. This move strengthens its presence in East Africa. The expansion follows the opening of Paratus Kenya just four months ago. The company aims to boost connectivity across the region.
Paratus Tanzania has secured the required licenses. It will offer high-quality network services to businesses across the country. Chief Commercial Officer Martin Cox sees this as a big step forward.

Targeting Key Sectors for Growth
“Having secured the necessary regulatory licenses, we are delighted to be partnering with Green Telecom and to launch Paratus Tanzania. With professional technical engineering teams on the ground across the entire country, Paratus Tanzania can take full advantage of the opportunities to reach rural and under-served areas with excellent connectivity and backup solutions,” said Martin Cox, Chief Commercial Officer, Paratus Group.
Paratus Tanzania will focus on key sectors, including tourism, mining, NGOs, and healthcare. Managing Director Said Alli highlighted the growing demand in these industries.
“With this JV, we will be targeting many sectors, including tourism. Tanzania is currently experiencing a tourism boom – in the last year, for example, tourism numbers rose by around 25% – so for this sector alone, there are huge opportunities.
“Other sectors, including mining, NGOs, the health sector and the EACOP (East African Crude Oil Pipeline), will also be our targets. More good news is that we will be creating many new jobs over the next year,” said Alli.
Green Telecom started in 2013, offering technology solutions for mobile network operators. Later, it expanded to provide connectivity and telecom services. The company specializes in managing and integrating network services for clients.
By entering the Tanzanian market, Paratus strengthens its position as a leading network service provider. The company is committed to delivering fast, reliable, and robust connectivity solutions.
“By opening in another key East African territory, Paratus strengthens its total network service offering. We can tailor network services for any enterprise requiring a fast, robust and reliable connection in Africa and to the rest of the world.
“The Paratus Group is at the heart of Africa’s digital revolution, driving and reshaping connectivity across the continent. As we connect more and more people in Africa, we are giving them the service and the support they need to realise their individual and collective potential,” added Cox.
