IPv6 unlocks new Internet possibilities
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the current iteration of the Internet Protocol and designed as replacement for IPv4. The updated version also offers several functionality enhancements for those who have switched to the new protocol. IPv4 was first defined in 1981, and utilised a 32-bit address identifier. The newer IPv6 addresses are 128-bits in length, vastly enlarging the size of the usable address space. IPv4 Internet addresses are quickly becoming exhausted. By contrast, IPv6 offers a staggering quantity of usable addresses, and are unlikely to reach exhaustion in the foreseeable future.

WiFi set to change Africa
The introduction of affordable smartphones designed specifically for emerging markets has been a game changer for Africa and has made an impact on WiFi demand. According to published reports, mobile penetration in sub-Saharan Africa is expected to increase from 52% in 2012 to 79% in 2020, making it the fastest-growing region globally – with mobile broadband connections anticipated to quadruple from its 2012 figure to reach 160-million in 2016. WiFi in Africa has predominantly been reserved for businesses and airport business lounges but this has fast changed says Fletcher.
WiFi set to take over mobile traffic
New research has forecast that WiFi networks will carry almost 60% of smartphone and tablet data traffic by 2019, reaching over 115 000 Petabytes (Pb) by 2019, compared to under 30 000Pb this year – representing an almost four-fold increase. The new research, Mobile Data Offload & Onload: WiFi, Small Cell & Networks Strategies 2015-2019, found that mobile data offload – data migration from a mobile network to a WiFi network – offers several key benefits to industry stakeholders.
Analogue will go on as DTT deadline passes
The 17 June 2015 was the day laid down by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) for full digital broadcasting to take over from analogue. Analogue users will no longer be protected from signal interference.
With South Africa still some way from finalising its Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) migration, there is a risk that television viewers could face broadcasting disruptions. However, Minister of Communications Faith Muthambi says that South Africa, along with other countries that are signatories to the ITU, have an agreement to facilitate the migration of broadcasting services from the analogue format to the DTT platform.
