Polar Power, Inc. has entered the wireless infrastructure market in Namibia, Africa with the creation of its new wholly owned subsidiary, Polar Power Africa, headquartered in Windhoek, Namibia.
The Polar Power Africa subsidiary will be led by two of Polar Power's international sales directors, Andre Herbst and Michael Mullen. Both have a combined 50 years' experience in cell site and tower installations in remote locations across the globe. The complete cell site project will encompass two phases: Phase 1: Tower installation with average project duration of two months and Phase 2: Component (Solar DC hybrid power systems) installation with average project duration of three months.
Subsequent to the completion of the Polar Power Africa subsidiary, the company received its first telecom tower site purchase order from Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC), with over two million active subscribers, in conjunction with its 081 Every1 project. The MTC 081 Every1 project, which aims to erect 524 new towers over the next two years in rural Namibia is a NAD 1.2-billion-dollar project and was officially launched in July 2017, by Deputy Minister of ICT, Stanley Simataa. It was initiated in response to MTC's desire to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural Namibia, ensure that all Namibians have access to quality networks, mobile connectivity, broadband accessibility and access to the information superhighway in line with the spirit of Harambee. Multiple contractors have also been selected and those contractors with the best performance will continue with the 524-site rollout.
