Time to light up KZN's fibre connectivity

KwaZulu-Natal businesses have traditionally been beset with an under-serviced market when it comes to accessing reliable connectivity. Globally, copper is viewed as an end-of-life technology, with ADSL being viewed as not fit for purpose as a future enabler.

A frontrunner in the communications space has started to bring KZN's burgeoning business hub the connectivity it desperately needs to optimise its connectivity and overall productivity. Hymax now operates within the KwaZulu-Natal region, allowing local business to compete at first-world levels through offering superior fibre connectivity along with all the complementary services that fibre affords. Fibre is seen as being the de facto future-proof technology for the 21st century.

Hymax is a 22-year-old communications company with firm roots in everything voice. Over several years, it has planned and built one of the newest and most sophisticated carrier networks in South Africa. This network already provides leading converged voice and data services to businesses in major city centres.

Recently, Hymax completed an upgrade of national long-haul backbone to extend its network reach to even more regions in South Africa. With its prior success in both the Johannesburg and Cape Town hubs, Hymax is now offering quality fibre connectivity and services to businesses in KwaZulu-Natal.

Hymax believes fibre will become a hotly contested space and it will be important to ensure potential customers are properly educated about both the nuances in the available technology and the enormous benefits that world-class connectivity can bring to the business community.

New KZN executive, Jonathan Saulez, notes: "Hymax is rooted in voice and has built its network for superior voice quality and security. Our partnership with Dark Fibre Africa and our significant investment in becoming a tier one carrier with our own next-generation network, allows us a unique opportunity to capture the hearts and minds of business." He further notes that "Hymax has adopted the mantra of follow-the-fibre. Hymax people believes South Africans should be equipped to compete at the highest level."
