What Equipment is Required?

Wireless Broadband Internet

For wireless broadband internet to be connected to our network, we require a few items to be either existing, or to be purchased from us.

The equipment required follows:

• Wireless Radio (Microwave Dish with Radio)
• Bracket with Pole (Height of Pole is VLOS Dependent)
• Access Point (AP) of your choice (In most cases we supply the recommended AP on a quotation)
• Cable between the Wireless Radio & Access Point (Used to power the wireless radio, and transmit/receive data)

In cases where the client requests backup power for their internet connection, we install one or more of the following:

• UPS or Mini-UPS
• Deep Cycle Battery with Charger & Inverter
• Solar Panel with Charger, Battery & Inverter
• Petrol or Diesel Powered Generator

Additional equipment can be added to each installation, such as additional access points or range extenders, failover dishes or LTE/GSM equipment, etc. This is all site dependent, and dependent on the requirement of the client.

Typical Examples of the equipment used in wireless broadband installations:

Broadband Fibre Internet

Fibre Internet normally only requires a router and fibre cable to be run to the closest breakout point. In most residential & commercial environments, the breakout points (wall boxes) have already been installed & reticulated outside the premises, and in some cases the cable is already run into the house or building with a wall-box ready for connection.

A compatible fibre router (GPON/PON/ONT) is required to connect to fibre internet. This is normally provided by ZeroConnect as part of the installation.

In cases where the client requests backup power for their internet connection, we install one or more of the following:

• UPS or Mini-UPS
• Deep Cycle Battery with Charger & Inverter
• Solar Panel with Charger, Battery & Inverter
• Petrol or Diesel Powered Generator

Additional equipment can be added to each installation, such as additional access points or range extenders, failover dishes or LTE/GSM/Wireless equipment, etc. This is all site dependent, and dependent on the requirement of the client.

Fibre can sometimes be interrupted, therefore we do have a wireless broadband backup internet solution for clients within range of our network infrastructure. These subscriptions normally start from R199.00 per month.

Typical Examples of the equipment used in broadband fibre installations:

LTE/4G/5G Broadband Internet

LTE/4G & 5G only requires a compatible router & a power point.

In cases where the client requests backup power for their internet connection, we install one or more of the following:

• UPS or Mini-UPS
• Deep Cycle Battery with Charger & Inverter
• Solar Panel with Charger, Battery & Inverter
• Petrol or Diesel Powered Generator

Additional equipment can be added to each installation, such as additional access points or range extenders, failover dishes or LTE/GSM/Wireless equipment, etc. This is all site dependent, and dependent on the requirement of the client.

Typical Examples of the equipment used in LTE/4G/5G broadband installations:

Satellite Broadband Internet

Satellite internet connections require a compatible satellite dish & radio, with a cable running into the nearest building or structure. The cable then connects to a compatible access point, and electricity needs to be provided to all equipment that forms part of the installation.

In cases where the client requests backup power for their internet connection, we install one or more of the following:

• UPS or Mini-UPS
• Deep Cycle Battery with Charger & Inverter
• Solar Panel with Charger, Battery & Inverter
• Petrol or Diesel Powered Generator

Additional equipment can be added to each installation, such as additional access points or range extenders, failover dishes or LTE/GSM/Wireless equipment, etc. This is all site dependent, and dependent on the requirement of the client.
