Who we are and what we stand for
Broadband Infraco is operating within a specific strategic focus area of the telecommunications sector in South Africa. The focus is characterised at present by limited competition and relative barriers to entry because of rights of way, and high capital expenditure considerations.
Broadband Infraco will not participate in those areas of the Southern African telecommunications market or value chain that are efficient and experience high levels of competition in terms of available services and pricing options.
The Broadband Infraco business comprises two key elements, namely:
- A National Long Distance fibre optic network, providing high capacity telecommunication services between all major metropolitan centres and being expanded to extend connectivity to identified smaller cities and rural areas, and;
- An International Marine Cable network comprising a marine cable that is being manufactured and that will be deployed between South Africa and the United Kingdom.
