IS Telco Services forms an integral part of IS’ last mile wireless and fibre offerings. Since the decision by ICASA in early 2009 to convert existing VANs license holders to ECNS licenses, we are now able to build our own infrastructure and offer 100% legal services in the unlicensed wireless bands, as well as deploy fibre networks. We offer services on our own infrastructure, or facilitate the provisioning of new infrastructure from a number of alternate network access providers. By offering our own services and those of other network access providers, we ensure our coverage is extended as widely as possible, as well as offering a choice of service providers for true redundancy.
Unique Selling Points:

Fibre
- NGN – Next generation network and equipment
- Low latency – typically less than 5 ms
- Seamless upgrades – Upgrades typically take anything from 2 -7 working days
