Line of Sight & Feasibility

Wireless Broadband Internet

During a Line of Sight or feasibility test, we check whether our services would reach the client, and whether the location of the client falls within our coverage spectrum.

In most cases our technical team will first perform a Virtual Line of Sight test by means of software, to establish whether it would be possible for us to connect our services to the client.

After a virtual test has been performed, we sometimes request for a VLOS (Visual Line of Sight) test, which is performed on-site by one of our qualified technical personnel. This test takes about 20 minutes, during which we will be able to establish what speed the client would qualify for, and so forth.

Broadband Fibre Internet

Due to the massive amount of information at our disposal, given the advanced stages of communication our world is in, we can normally establish feasibility for Fibre Connectivity by checking whether the client's physical address is located within a fibre coverage map.

These maps are normally supplied by our upstream provider, and is generated by the same provider during reticulation (laying or running) of fibre infrastructure.

We normally manage the fibre accounts on our client's behalf, so we take care of everything, from the application, right through to the installation & after-sales support.

LTE/4G/5G Broadband Internet

GSM internet can be tricky to establish feasibility, especially since most of South Africa is affected by things such as power outages, broken municipal infrastructure & loadshedding. We normally do not recommend GSM based internet connections, and only offer this solution in the most exclusive of cases.

Satellite Broadband Internet

Satellite internet has proven to be way of the future, especially in very remote locations. The requirement for feasibility is very limited and in most cases only a power connection is required, but in some cases even solar power with battery backups can be supplied.

Satellite internet has mostly been used by people & companies in very remote locations, but we have started to see growth in requests in residential & commercial communities as well.
