IBURST REACHES COVERAGE MILESTONE
“iBurst has already spent over R200 million boosting coverage for the benefit of our 25 000 subscribers who are appreciating the increasing mobility of their wireless broadband solution,” said Thami Mtshali, CEO of iBurst.
iBurst plans to roll-out base stations at an average rate of two per week until it has covered 80% of the South African population by November 2007. This original launch target compares favourably with that of iBurst’s Australian counterpart which aims to eventually cover 75% of the Australian population.
“The benefits of our massive investment in infrastructure will be especially evident come 2010. Overseas visitors will expect easy access to pervasive wireless broadband and South Africa’s reputation depends on not disappointing them,” said Mr Mtshali.
iBurst is committed to underserviced areas and covers high-density disadvantaged areas across many provinces such as Soweto, Alexandria, Sebokeng, Parts of Mamelodi, Diepsloot, Eersterust, Gugulethu, Idasvallei, Kyamandi, Langa, Cloetesville and Mangaung.
