Two new projects will build on a R400-million fibre network expansion announced in August 2023, and are aimed at improving network stability in dense areas.
Maziv-owned Dark Fibre Africa has announced two infrastructure upgrades to improve network stability in dense areas, accelerate the delivery of new services, and future-proof its network for scale and sustainable growth.
The first upgrade will be a “yellow cable” project, aimed at reducing the number of access points that service teams use to perform maintenance and install new connections. The second “grey cable” project will separate DFA’s infrastructure from client infrastructure, boosting DFA’s capacity to increase bandwidth speeds and provide new managed services more swiftly.
He said several DUDCs were already live in the Gauteng South region and that DFA planned to roll out complete DUDC coverage in 13 precincts within the region by the end of September 2024.
