Vox is using MTN’s fixed wireless access network, powered by Tarana technology to challenge the boundaries of connectivity. This technology uses a customised combination of algorithm and antenna to provide a high-speed internet connection that does not require a direct line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver. Operating easily in areas considered challenging, or that have had to deal with limited connectivity due to obstacles, the collaboration provides reliable connectivity to South African customers.

“The solution is ideally suited for the small to medium business,” says Nikita Appelman, Product Manager for Wireless at Vox. “For companies that do not have access to business fibre, our collaborative solution with MTN offers a reliable primary service that is cost-effective and fast. This can also be a reliable redundancy option for customers who experience outages on their primary fibre connectivity. This service offers a connectivity solution with good coverage and market traction.”

Connectivity is an invaluable asset that ensures companies can leverage next-generation communication and collaboration tools to engage with customers and the global market. Vox uses this solution from MTN to provide customers with scalability and flexibility through primary, temporary, temporary to redundant, and redundant services to SMEs.

“Compared with a fibre installation, this solution is measurably faster to install,” says Appelman. “Companies can be installed on the network quickly and immediately feel the benefits. With long-range and high capacity, the Tarana technology has coverage in most urban areas and selected rural environments. The range extends into the kilometres and provides broad coverage.”
