[Promoted] Link Africa Raises R500 Million to Expand its Open-Access Fibre Network
Link Africa is the only FNO in South Africa with exclusive rights to use the patented FOCUS™ technology which enables fibre optic cable deployment in water & sewer systems in a non-disruptive, non-invasive manner which allows for faster and cheaper fibre installation compared to traditional trenching methods.
With the new funding, Link Africa plans to accelerate its current expansion programme using FOCUS™ deployment to extend its network to more cities where there is a growing demand for high-speed internet connectivity and digital services. The company aims to reach over 10 million households and businesses by 2025.
“We remain committed to helping the government and businesses gain access to high-quality fibre connectivity.” The deal continues a period of accelerated growth for Link Africa, which also has plans for strategic acquisitions in the near future.
