Paratus Group, an African telecommunications firm, has significantly expanded its East African presence, becoming a licensed internet service provider (ISP) in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania. This move positions the company as a strong alternative for high-speed fibre connectivity and satellite internet services in the rapidly growing digital economy of the region.

• Paratus Group is now fully operational as an ISP in four East African countries and is an authorized reseller of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet in Kenya and Rwanda.
• Chief Commercial Officer Martin Cox stated that the expansion enables enterprise and wholesale customers to access reliable, cross-border connectivity.
• The expansion leverages Paratus’s East-West fibre route, connecting to the Equiano subsea cable for low-latency links between Africa and Europe.
