GETESA Huawei Partnership to Upgrade Equatorial Guinea’s Telecom Network
GETESA Huawei partnership is set to strengthen Equatorial Guinea’s telecommunications sector after the state-owned telecom operator signed a new agreement with Huawei to modernise the country’s network infrastructure. The partnership aims to improve connectivity, deliver better voice and data services, and support Equatorial Guinea’s digital transformation agenda.
The agreement was signed on July 9 during a ceremony at the State Headquarters in Malabo, led by Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue. Senior government officials, including the Administrative Coordination Officer, also attended the event.
GETESA Huawei Partnership Marks a New Phase for the Telecom Operator
According to the Equatorial Guinea government, the GETESA Huawei partnership marks the beginning of a new chapter for the country’s state-owned telecommunications company.
Over the next six months, GETESA and Huawei will work together on a comprehensive programme to optimise the national telecommunications network. The project is expected to improve the quality, speed, and reliability of voice and data services for individuals, businesses, and public institutions.
Government officials described the agreement as a strategic alliance that will help strengthen the country’s digital infrastructure and meet growing demand for reliable connectivity.
Network Upgrade to Improve Voice and Data Services
The first phase of the project will focus on upgrading existing telecommunications infrastructure across the country.
Key areas of improvement include:
Expanding network capacity
Increasing data transmission speeds
Improving communication stability
Enhancing voice and data service quality
Modernising existing telecom infrastructure
These upgrades are expected to provide more reliable telecommunications services nationwide.
Project Aims to Expand Reliable Connectivity
The government said the upgraded network will benefit families, students, businesses, and public institutions by providing faster and more stable communications regardless of location.
Improved connectivity is also expected to support education, business operations, public services, and digital access across both urban and rural communities.
Digital Transformation Supports Economic Growth
Government officials described digital transformation as an important part of Equatorial Guinea’s economic diversification strategy.
They noted that stronger telecommunications infrastructure can help create jobs, encourage business growth, attract investment, and promote innovation across different sectors of the economy.
The GETESA Huawei partnership is expected to contribute to these goals by building a modern, secure, and intelligent telecom network capable of supporting the country’s long-term digital development.
As demand for digital services continues to grow, the partnership is positioned to strengthen Equatorial Guinea’s connectivity while laying the foundation for future technological and economic progress.
