Vodacom Business expands to South America
Information and communications technology (ICT) group Vodacom Business is expanding into Brazil, with its fixed-connectivity coverage now spanning five continents.
The addition of the transatlantic connection through the undersea South Atlantic Cable System, which is the first to directly link the African continent’s southern hemisphere with South America, means the Vodacom Business footprint is now in South America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and North America.
The company is leveraging the most optimised fixed-connectivity network routes available into Africa and shortening the distances between Africa and South America for multinational businesses seeking to consume their hybrid clouds optimally from Africa, as they expand their operations through this intercontinental trading corridor, said Vodacom Business Africa technology and operations executive head Trevor Naidoo.
“Vodacom Business Africa’s IP backbone provides an enterprise grade solution that allows organisations to aggregate all their communications between sites and remote workers onto a single, reliable, private Wide Area Network underpinned by a network with a global reach.”
“Naturally, a secure connectivity platform is part of the Vodacom Business Africa offering, enabling the flexible deployment of customised, end-to-end ICT services that range from hybrid, private-public clouds, to Smart Collaboration and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions,” he continued, noting that the services collectively form the ‘future ready’ network, providing on-demand, application-driven connectivity for real-time digital solutions with integrated, multi-vendor, virtual network functions.
“Through our flexible, hybrid, local and international billing options, we can provide convenient support for varying multinational contracting models. Our global service management suite enables us to deliver a consistent brand experience across your business estate,” Naidoo concludes.
