Vox is leveraging MTN South Africa’s fixed wireless access network powered by Tarana technology to improve connectivity for businesses that don’t have access to fibre.
This technology uses a customised combination of algorithm and antenna to provide a high-speed internet connection that doesn’t require direct line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver.
Operating easily in areas that are considered challenging or that have had to deal with limited connectivity due to obstacles, MTN South-Africa’s collaboration with Vox provides connectivity to South African customers.
“The solution is ideally suited for the small to medium business,” says Nikita Appelman, product manager for wireless at Vox. “For companies that don’t have access to business fibre, our collaborative solution with MTN South-Africa offers them a reliable primary service that’s cost-effective and fast.
“This can also be a reliable redundancy option for customers that experience outages on their primary fibre connectivity. This service offers an incredible connectivity solution with superb coverage and market traction.”
Compared to a fibre installation, the solution is faster to install, she adds.
“Companies can be installed on the network quickly, and immediately feel the benefits. With long-range and high capacity, the Tarana technology has coverage in most urban areas and selected rural environments. The range extends into the kilometres, and provides broad coverage.”
