Technology is playing a huge part in changing how small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) operate. One of the technologies doing this is fibre. Fibre technology allows businesses to operate online applications, connects employees and allows customers to stay connected while in the store. The only thing SMEs need to figure out is which fibre is best for them.
What is Fibre?
Fibre is an optic internet connection which sends data at high speeds using fibre optic cables. The cables are installed by a fibre optics installer and companies which provide fibre infrastructure are called fibre infrastructure providers (FSPs).
Fibre infrastructure is also ideal for helping support remote teams in small businesses. The technology helps teams share files quickly from any location and enables the use of cloud-based tools.
Finding the right fibre provider is more than just choosing the cheapest offer but rather choosing a provider who understands your needs. An ideal option for SMEs is, Afrihost.
What is Afrihost?
Afrihost is a leading Internet Service Provider (ISP) and telecoms company in South Africa. With its fibre offering, Afrihost operates as an ISP using existing physical cables laid by various network operators (like Openserve, Vumatel, and Frogfoot) to deliver fast, low-latency broadband.
What Does Afrihost Offer SMEs?
Afrihost offers SMEs uncapped, unshaped, and unthrottled fibre packages over South Africa’s major open-access networks. While they specialize in residential lines that double as cost-effective business solutions, SMEs can add business-critical features like UPS power backups and uncapped LTE for failover to maintain uninterrupted connectivity.
