The demand for reliable, high-speed connectivity continues to surge. Over the last seven years, South Africa’s fibre subscriptions across homes and businesses have risen by over 4,200%. As the backbone of modern communication and innovation, fibre network owners play a pivotal role in continuing to meet these escalating demands.
Having already deployed over 7000 km of fibre across South Africa, Frogfoot is also focussing on under-serviced, low-income areas and secondary cities and towns that border their footprint through fibre-based wireless connectivity, bringing affordable and high-speed uncapped connectivity to the highest number of users.
“We believe that future-proofing connectivity isn't just about keeping up with the latest trends—it's about anticipating the needs of tomorrow and proactively addressing them today. By investing in cutting-edge technologies, scalable infrastructure, predictive analytics, collaborative partnerships, and continuous upgrades, we're laying the foundation for a more connected and innovative future,” Frogfoot CEO Shane Chorley said.
Fibre providers leading the charge within this rapidly growing space need to constantly anticipate the next wave of connectivity demands, through a relentless focus on innovation and a commitment to future-proofing their infrastructure.
As one of South Africa’s leading licenced open-access fibre network providers, and following a period of countrywide expansion, Frogfoot is at the forefront of deploying and managing large-scale fibre optic networks to facilitate greater connectivity.
