Anywhere is the new everywhere: Connectivity doesn’t need limits in South Africa

South African organisations have learned to treat unreliable infrastructure as a fixed parameter, particularly when it comes to connectivity. As a result, many businesses have had to site operations where fibre or reliable wireless already exists, because last-mile build-out to remote mines, farms, or border areas is often slow, high-risk, and vulnerable to theft or vandalism. Mines, farms, organisations and distributed industrial sites have had to lean on a mix of microwave, LTE and patchy fibre, accepting higher latency and occasional blind spots as the cost of doing business. This lack and complexity has had a knock-on impact across digital transformation as companies have had to prioritise use cases that can tolerate drop-offs over those that depend on uninterrupted video, real-time analytics or tight automation loops. In short, the South African company has designed for degraded reality.
