DFA to deploy 20 000 fibre connections to businesses
Open access fibre infrastructure provider Dark Fibre Africa (DFA) on Monday announced that it would expand its high-speed fibre-to-the-business capabilities in major and secondary cities across South Africa.
Complementing various Internet service providers’ (ISP’s) fibre initiatives, DFA aimed to establish 20 000 business connections by March 2016.
“These connections will provide businesses across South Africa with access to a high-speed fibre-optic network [through] an ISP of their choice,” explained DFA chief strategy officer Reshaad Sha.
Demand for fibre-optic network connectivity across South Africa was growing – a trend Sha partly attributed to the country playing “catch-up” to other more developed markets around the world.
“This is a step in the right direction to help South Africa to catch up to some of the more developed and even some of the emerging markets around the world that have already invested significantly in fibre connectivity,” he said.
