Paratus Group launches connectivity solution for Africa’s essential service organisations

Pan-African telco, Paratus Group, has launched Paratus Essential Access, a solution designed by Paratus and powered by LEO satellite operator Starlink to deliver priority satellite connectivity to communities and emergency services organisations at the heart of Africa’s remote communities.

The company says Paratus Essential Access service provides reliable, high-speed, low-latency connectivity. The service is offered with preferential pricing and priority support for approved essential service organisations, such as law enforcement, hospitals and community health clinics, schools, tertiary institutions, fire and emergency response, community centres, non-profit agriculture and food security initiatives.

Schalk Erasmus, Paratus Group CEO, explains: “With Paratus Essential Access, we are prioritising the organisations and communities people rely on most. This ensures that essential services in remote areas stay connected where traditional infrastructure cannot reach, allowing them to continue providing vital support to the communities they serve.”

The Paratus Essential Access service is backed by Paratus Group’s in-country teams for both professional and certified installation and integration with other network services as required. With rapid deployment capabilities, organisations can be connected quickly, enabling continuity of essential services even in the most challenging environments.

Paratus Essential Access enables a wide range of critical applications, from emergency response co-ordination and secure communications to telemedicine, digital health systems and remote learning. It also supports smart agriculture and operational monitoring, strengthening food security and community sustainability.

Paratus Essential Access is already available in Botswana, Eswatini, Kenya, Lesotho, Mozambique, Rwanda and Zambia. The service will be rolled out to other territories by Paratus in the upcoming months.
