Vox Telecom has put together a package for its customers that combines its telephony product, the Vox Supafone, and its satellite Internet service, YahClick.
The YahClick-Vox Supafone package adds a voice-prioritised channel to the broadband offering at a low cost and is ideally suited to rural areas, where copper theft and security is a concern, according to Bradley Gatter, product manager of the Vox Supafone.
"Landline coverage in South Africa is far from ideal, with some farmers still only having access to party-lines," says Gatter.
"With this package, business will enjoy a reliable connection and good quality calls. It will also be particularly significant for farmers, schools and municipalities in rural communities, where reliable access to a telephone is essential."
"The Vox Supafone requires a standard router to connect, giving users access to high-quality voice calls and WiFi," says Jacques Visser, YahClick project manager.
"Users can stay connected without having to utilise mobile data, which is good news for customers with iPads or other smart devices. And because the product works via satellite, there is no risk of downtime due to cable or copper line theft, so you are connected at all times to the world."
YahClick was the first Ka-band satellite service to be launched in SA. Ka-band satellites transmit many highly focused, overlapping 'spot beams', each covering a relatively small area, which allows for access to greater bandwidth at a lower cost.
YahClick customers utilising the offer will receive their free Vox Supafone, bundled with R59 worth of calls, where after they will be billed according to usage, says Gatter.
"New customers can select their choice of voice packages; and get their free Vox Supafone and R59 worth of minutes. There is a minimal once-off installation fee of R100," Gatter adds.
The YahClick package is voice-prioritised and the package is inclusive of both voice and data.
The monthly service plans are divided into consumer service plans, business service plans and enterprise service plans. The customer can select a package with the required download/upload speed and usage.
