Telecommunications carrier, BitCo has completed a point of presence in Nelspruit, bringing high-speed wireless connectivity to Mpumalanga\u2019s business and administrative capital. The point of presence went live on 23 July 2012, and the first clients have already signed up.<\/p>\n
BitCo\u2019s point of presence is connected to its national network via fibre. Other points of presence are located in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town. From the point of presence, wireless connectivity is provided to clients from high points around the city, thus creating a high-speed Metro Ethernet network. Services offered include a range of voice telephony options as well as Internet access. Telephony packages range from two analogue lines to four Primary Rate Interface lines (E1) as well as SIP for newer IP phones and PABX Systems.<\/p>\n
\u201cNelspruit is one of the country\u2019s fastest-growing business centres but until now it has lacked access to high-speed, carrier-grade wireless connectivity,\u201d says Scott Mobey, Infrastructure Director at BitCo. \u201cWe are offering Nelspruit clients connectivity options from basic 256 kbps to 20 Mbps.\u201d<\/p>\n
BitCo\u2019s new service covers the greater Nelspruit metropolitan area, stretching as far as Kaapsehoop to the south-west. Because the service relies on minimal physical infrastructure, it is quick to extend coverage as demand dictates.<\/p>\n
Mobey says that the new service has been well received by local business. He notes that fixed-line connectivity in the area, besides being slow, is plagued by copper theft. BitCo\u2019s \u201cinvisible lines\u201d offers clients a way to avoid the business interruption and lost revenues occasioned by extended connectivity blackouts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese days, there is a direct correlation between bottom-line profitability and the quality of your connectivity\u2014it\u2019s as simple as that,\u201d Mobey explains. \u201cA solution that is high speed, affordable and, above all, reliable is something that Nelspruit\u2019s business community has lacked until now.\u201d<\/p>\n
