Unitel, also known as Unitel Angola, is a state-owned company headquartered in Angola. Founded in 2001, the company has approximately 3,480 employees and reported $552.3M in revenue as of 2025. It functions as a tier 2 media tech buyer, specializing as a telecommunications service provider.
Unitel is currently working with GGPEN and Anyconnect to connect the Conecta Angola hub to the 2Africa submarine cable, a move designed to boost capacity for VSAT traffic by integrating ANGOSAT-2 satellite coverage for remote areas with 2Africa’s submarine-cable capacity for national and international network connections. This follows the Angolan telecommunications operator's report on September 22 that its revenue for the first half of 2026 rose 17% year-on-year to AOA 274 billion, alongside a 15% increase in EBITDA to AOA 91 billion and a net profit of AOA 66.3 billion. Unitel's subscriber base expanded beyond 21.2 million, and data usage surged by 43%, with growth primarily driven by its mobile business, residential segment performance, and digital service adoption. This operational and financial expansion occurs as Angola accelerates its ICT investment, leveraging state-backed projects to position the country as a digital hub in Central Africa. Earlier, on September 4, a July 2026 cyberattack, which caused the temporary shutdown of mobile services operated by Unitel, highlighted significant cybersecurity vulnerabilities for African operators.
