TAKING
Faster internet, HD television, improved communications & security… Utopia of the
digital world and our homes today. All of this is possible through a technological
breakthrough that is optical fibre.
Optical fibre accommodates the constant demand for higher
bandwidth. Fibre to the home (FTTH) is the installation and use
of optical fibre from a central point directly to individual buildings
such as residences, apartment buildings and businesses to provide
unprecedented high-speed internet access. The number of houses
in South Africa passed by fibre has grown from 439,000 in 2017 to
933,000 by March 2018 – equivalent to 112% year on year growth,
according to a report from the FTTH Council.
With the NEXTEC broadband connectivity offerings, NEXTEC
brings to you optimal, efficient and cost-reducing fibre solutions.
They provide super-fast fibre. This enables faster download and
upload speed than other formats, and allows for HD entertainment, so
consumers can watch their favourite movies, series and sports events
in super-high definition, and gaming enthusiasts can rely on fast,
reliable downloading that enables uninterrupted interaction.
