Internet Solutions (IS) has partnered with Cell C to expand its LTE service offering to provide consumers with alternative solutions within the fixed broadband market.
In a statement, IS says the partnership reinforces its network and technology approach to the South African market, taking the position of open access in order to offer more choice to channel partners and IS clients.
"Cell C is a leading mobile network operator in South Africa, and its super-fast fixed LTE network enables our channel partners to offer more options to their customers," says Tony Walt, chief solutions and operating officer at IS.
In terms of the partnership, Internet service providers will be able to choose from a selection of Cell C packages ranging from 50 to 200GB per month, with the option to top up at any time with 30-day packages ranging from 1 to 20 GB, managed through IS' integrated billing and management platform.
According to the statement, Cell C has an extensive network footprint in SA that includes 2 900 LTE base stations in the major metropolitan areas of Gauteng, Kwazulu-Natal and the Western Cape, operating on two key bands including 1 800MHz and 2 100MHz.
"High density LTE coverage offers customers distinct advantages over wired networks such as ADSL or fibre, and customers benefit from fast delivery of services with minimal disruption during installation, at lower capital and environmental costs," adds Walt.
"Partnering with IS and their extensive network of channel partners allows us to reach a new segment of the market as we increase our broadband footprint across South Africa," says Jose Dos Santos, Cell C CEO.
