MWEB Business to offer wireless diginet alternative

Johannesburg, 01 Dec 2009

MWEB Business has this week broadened its connectivity options for businesses to include a wireless high-speed point-to-point link that will enable customers to connect offices or branches without needing a traditional copper-based telco line.

The new MWEB Business Wireless Link Rental solution is an ideal alternative for companies wanting quick installation, or which are in a remote location not served by traditional telco lines. Line speeds are offered in increments of 64K up to 2 048K and prices are 60% cheaper than traditional diginet lines.

Herman Jansen van Rensburg, Head of Product Management and Development at MWEB Business, said companies could often not wait the 180-day (six-month) turnaround time for a traditional leased line, and that the Wireless Link Rental offering could be implemented in just two weeks from site inspection to installation. The technology also acts an ideal fail-over offering, and because it requires no copper for installation, it means customers are not affected by copper theft.

“This service has the largest wireless coverage available in South Africa, including extensive coverage in Gauteng and the Western Cape, as well as in the Eastern Cape (Port Elizabeth and surrounding areas) and in Potchefstroom in the North West Province.
