Afrihost will now be offering LTE-Advanced data with its new fixed wireless packages.
The Internet services provider says fixed wireless is aimed at providing high-speed, reliable wireless Internet in areas that do not have DSL or fibre coverage.
Afrihost has partnered with Rain, with a wireless network that already extends across SA's major centres and metropolitan areas. Rain's wireless network currently consists of 750 base stations and Rain plans to expand this to 2 000 sites by the end of the year.
All Afrihost fixed wireless packages are subject to a once-off purchase of an Huawei B618 LTE-A Wireless Router for R2 499, the company says.
The dual band (2.4 and 5GHz) B618 can connect up to 64 devices at a time. The wireless router will be shipped preconfigured to clients, it adds.
