South African ISPs encounter various issues in their effort to deliver premium service to their customers. These issues include long wait times to cross public roads with fibre, local municipal paperwork, high costs of labour and time, and pressure from customers waiting for their internet line. All of these challenges are hurdles to growth for ISPs, and we are here today to solve these issues.  [...]

Lithium iron phosphate batteries are a type of lithium-ion battery that use iron phosphate as the cathode material, instead of the more commonly used cobalt oxide or manganese oxide. This makes them safer and more stable than other lithium-ion batteries, as well as longer-lasting. These batteries have a built-in Battery Management System (BMS) which ensures safe operation and maximum performance. BMS also protects the battery against overcharge and discharge, making it ideal for deep-cycle applications.  [...]

Currently in South Africa, ICASA is under the process of reviewing the possible extention of the 5GHz ISM band to include 5.9-6.4GHz. This will allow us to use the full capabilities of Wi-Fi 6e, enabling higher wireless performance with less congestion and a better overall customer experience. [...]

Helium is a blockchain network that leverages a decentralised global network of hotspots — devices that double as network miners and wireless access points. Anyone can deploy Hotspots, enabling individuals to earn Helium’s native HNT coins in exchange for providing gateways for connectivity. This decentralised, blockchain-based approach allows wireless infrastructure providers to scale more rapidly and at a fraction of the cost of traditional models. [...]

Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) are under pressure to deliver capacity and latency levels akin to their fibre internet counterparts. Achieving this while retaining all of the benefits of fixed wireless (flexibility, agility and affordability) can be difficult if you do not have the right partners in your corner. [...]

It is a powerful tool for any Grandstream installer looking to expand and manage their fleets of UCM6300s and supporting VoIP phones.  [...]

With the race to connect the unconnected citizens in sub-Sahara Africa, many of the industry's best minds are backing wireless as a convenient, robust, ready-to-ship solution. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can reach new customers sooner and begin layering services before their competition rolls in. There are no two ways about it. Our customers need faster connectivity but cannot wait for fibre to roll past their area. We’ve seen first-hand that when ISPs move too slowly, the big telcos swoop in with uncompetitive data packages, essentially mooting any possibility of the service provider gaining traction in the area. [...]

We’ve all become used to the rolling blackouts that have darkened our homes and businesses and damaged our economy and quality of life. However, we are not the sole recipients of these unfortunate and uncontrollable events. When our standard grid voltages and frequencies are exceeded, electrical surges generate heat that damages our networking equipment. A significant surge can instantly cause permanent damage, and even minor disruptions shorten your equipment's lifespan. Some leading factors to this issue include power grid switching, load-shedding and electrical storms.  [...]
