Metrofibre Networks has been awarded a contract to deliver fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband to one of Johannesburg’s largest security estates.
The company will deploy FTTH to 1 100 homes in Kyalami Estates, north of the city.
The project will start later this month and will be rolled out in a phased approach.
The total financial outlay and investment from Metrofibre into the project is expected to be in the region of R13m, the company said in a statement.
Metrofibre, which is led by former Absa CEO Steve Booysen, is working with its reseller partner, RocketNet, as the preferred Internet service provider for the project.
Metrofibre’s residential offerings include network connectivity up to 1Gbit/s. It also offers symmetrical broadband, meaning upload speeds are the same as download speeds. Its network is open access, meaning it is open to all Internet service providers.
The company fibre footprint now includes Kyalami, Sunninghill, Barbeque Downs, Lonehill, Beaulieu, Heathcliff and Blue Hills estates, Glenferness, as well as parts of Paulshof, Sandton and Rivonia. — (c) 2016 NewsCentral Media
