Hytera Driving Digital Transformation with Cable & Wireless in the Seychelles
Hytera Communications, a global leader in professional communication solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with Cable & Wireless Seychelles (CWS), the nation’s pioneering quad-play telecommunications provider. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed at MWC 2025 in Barcelona, signals a major push towards digital transformation across Seychelles’ enterprise and government sectors.
With a shared vision of enhancing connectivity and resilience, the agreement sets the foundation for modernising Seychelles’ critical communication infrastructure. This collaboration will introduce innovative solutions tailored to key industries, including public safety, energy, transportation, and tourism.
Strengthening Emergency Communication Resilience
One of the cornerstone initiatives of the partnership is the development of the Seychelles Emergency Communication Redundant Network. Designed to ensure uninterrupted connectivity during crises, this network will significantly bolster the nation’s ability to respond to natural disasters and other emergencies.
By integrating Hytera’s Mission Critical Services (MCX) core networks and Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) solutions with CWS’s robust 4G and 5G infrastructure, the network will provide seamless, real-time communication for first responders and essential services.
This move not only strengthens national security but also safeguards public safety during unforeseen disruptions.
Advanced Communication Solutions for Key Sectors
The MoU also lays out plans to introduce state-of-the-art communication solutions across multiple industries. Businesses and government entities in Seychelles will benefit from:
- Reliable and Secure Networks – Seamless integration with CWS’s 4G/5G public networks and future expansion into private networks.
- Cloud-Based Communication Platforms – Scalable solutions to support enterprise digitalisation efforts.
- Body-Worn Cameras (BWC) & Digital Evidence Management (DEM) – Cutting-edge security and compliance tools for law enforcement and regulatory agencies.
- Sector-Specific Communication Solutions – Tailored connectivity for industries such as energy, transportation, and tourism to enhance efficiency and safety.
By leveraging Hytera’s expertise in mission-critical communications, Seychelles’ enterprises can unlock new levels of efficiency, safety, and operational control.

The signing of the MoU brought together key executives from both organisations, underlining the importance of this partnership in accelerating Seychelles’ digital evolution.
Naadir Hassan, CEO of Cable & Wireless Seychelles, highlighted the impact of the collaboration: “As a trailblazer in Seychelles’ telecommunications sector, we are dedicated to introducing the world’s leading technologies to our nation. Our cooperation with Hytera will not only enhance our service offerings but also strengthen digital infrastructure, unlocking new opportunities for local businesses and communities in the Seychelles.”
