CMC Networks has launched its Air Connect solution to deliver wireless connectivity to businesses across South Africa.

Air Connect is a wireless-to-the-business (WTTB) solution for reliable, high-speed connectivity and business continuity, even in some of the world’s most challenging environments.

Air Connect uses radio waves to ensure robust and stable connectivity across varying landscapes in South Africa, including rural farmland, sparse deserts and rugged terrains.

Leveraging wireless technology removes the costs, complexities and long deployment times associated with traditional wired connections such as fibre.

It is a flexible service with speed ranges of 5Mbps to 500Mbps+, depending on business requirements.

“Air Connect is a very exciting solution for us, and a real game-changer for our customers in South Africa,” said Marisa Trisolino, CEO at CMC Networks.

“Our aim is to power the next era of digital adoption across Africa, and Air Connect is a huge step forward in doing so.

“It provides our customers with a wider selection of connectivity options to add redundancy to their networks, helping to keep their businesses up and running no matter the circumstances.”

Air Connect can be installed very quickly with a three-to-10-day service level objective (SLO). This makes the solution useful for customers awaiting a fibre build, providing a rapid temporary deployment to minimise network downtime.

Air Connect can serve as an active backup after the fibre rollout in a software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) overlay deployment, increasing network resilience, redundancy and uptime.

“Air Connect is a fully scalable solution to fit our customers’ unique business needs, with rapid installation, high-speed connectivity, increased network uptime and reliability,” said Geoff Dornan, CTO at CMC Networks.

“We’re continually expanding our portfolio to meet our customers’ changing requirements so that they can reach their business objectives without being delayed by connectivity.”
