The availability of more radio frequency spectrum for mobile network operators in South Africa can help push voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) adoption into the mainstream.
The availability of more radio frequency spectrum for mobile network operators in South Africa will be a big boost to voice-over-Internet-Protocol adoption.
Telkom is gradually shutting down its copper-based networks due to cable theft and performance issues, opting instead for a complete fibre network. “Ultimately, the more consistent and reliable the data bearer, the more suitable it will be for VoIP services,” Massel said. Euphoria Telecom chief technology officer, Nic Laschinger, said the low-band frequency spectrum would be of particular value.
“The biggest frustration with traditional voice has become the ease of which disruptive forces — particularly unsolicited callers — have been able to disrupt one’s attention and the perceived difficulty of avoiding such communications,” Massel said.
