Fibre and Microwave broadband launched in Stellenbosch

ARC Telecoms launched Fibre and Microwave broadband services in Stellenbosch Community Connect project

[Chevron]

So they can walk the walk and not just talk the talk.

[Messugga]

Any ballpark figures regarding costs involved for this service?

[MickeyD]

ARC Telecoms is bridging the gap between fibre network nodes and the midsize businesses wanting access to them by creating a community fibre access point, with point-to-point microwave to connect the last mile (2km, to be exact).

Is this then FttP or FttN (node)?
FttP means exactly that, fibre right into the customer's premises.

so they are a normal wisp, that happen to have a fiber link to their offices...?
many wisps do that.

How is one suburb a "nationwide launch"?

Was wondering that as well, maybe they intend to implement this nationwide, starting with Stellenbosch as a test bench.

[portcullis]

Just another player in the already heavily contended ISM bands.
