Duxbury Networking, which positions itself as a leading South African networking solutions distributor, says its in-house DuxNet range of solar-powered switches is designed to provide South African businesses with reliable, high-speed connectivity in power-constrained environments.

Engineered with sustainability in mind, the DUX106SPS5A and DUX106SPS15A switches harness solar energy to power IP-based devices, including POE cameras and phones, ensuring businesses and industries remain connected even during outages.

"These solar-powered switches represent the future of resilient, next-level networking," says Tobie van Schalkwyk, Business Unit Manager at Duxbury Networking. "They are specifically designed to provide continued connectivity in areas where power supply is limited or unpredictable, helping businesses overcome one of South Africa’s biggest challenges."
