compete in a hyper-connected world. Even closer to home,
or in your house rather, modern conveniences such as access
control, security, nanny cams, smart appliances, entertainment,
information, education and real-time utility monitoring can all
easily be taken to new heights. This, of course, will need a fast,
reliable medium of connectivity to the internet.
We’re consistently looking for technology and methodology to
make connectivity accessible to everyone, to bridge the digital
divide sooner, and bring more of our communities into the first
economy.
At the moment, Openserve’s network comprises a redundant
submarine fibre ring around the African continent with
connectivity into Europe, Asia and the Americas, dual robust
terrestrial fibre routes into our neighbouring countries, and the
most extensive domestic fibre deployment within our borders
– some 150,000 fibre kilometres and growing – connecting all
metros and towns in the country. This undoubtedly places us as
the most experienced fibre infrastructure player in South Africa
with the skills and depth of expertise to connect you to your
complex, community, country and the world.
Your digital future and connectivity are inextricably linked,
and form two sides of the same coin. You simply cannot have
one without the other, so ask your ISP about fibre access from
Openserve, and discover what a digital future has in store for
you.

ever-increasing data volumes.

Perhaps by virtue of our longevity in this game, Openserve
is well placed to seamlessly connect you to your world. As the
backbone of connectivity in South Africa, we believe that a
certain onus is on us to ensure that any technology trend, when
fully realised, will include, benefit and serve all South Africans in
every nook and cranny of our country.
