Pan-African telecommunications provider Paratus Group has expanded operations into four East African countries, providing internet services to businesses and communities while also acting as an authorized Starlink reseller in Kenya and Rwanda.

“You can’t trade if you can’t connect,” says Martin Cox, Chief Commercial Officer at Paratus Group. “Our role in building East Africa’s digital highways is as vital today as the traditional trade routes were centuries ago.”

Beyond its East African expansion, the group has launched the express route from Johannesburg to the rest of the world and is investing in infrastructure across the continent and beyond.

Paratus Kenya has been operational since November 2024 as a licensed ISP (internet service provider) and authorised Starlink reseller. Rwanda and Uganda have recently launched as ISPs, with Rwanda also providing Starlink services. Tanzania joined the network in 2025, delivering ISP services to enterprise and wholesale customers nationwide.
