iWayAfrica, part of communications service company Gondwana International Networks, has launched fibre to the premises for its business and consumer clients across 10 countries in Africa.

Ulrich Lassen, Head of Business at iWayAfrica says the new fibre service has already been successfully deployed to major corporates seeking to establish dual-links for redundancy purposes.

"Ongoing developments in the telecoms sector has aided in lowering prices and broadening access to infrastructure. iWayAfrica Zambia identified an opportunity to extend its offering with the launch of fibre connectivity,"

Lassen added that the launch of the new fibre service offers customers a full turnkey solution for their communication needs. "This extends from dedicated Internet, IP transit, MPLS, VSAT backhaul and redundancy, to numerous value added services such as mail hosting, archiving and data back-up."

iWayAfrica says the new service complements its legacy as a leading Internet service provider in Zambia.

"With an already strong market share in VSAT satellite services, iWayAfrica Zambia now provides connectivity to remote farmers, lodges and other areas with limited infrastructure, as well as in urban areas where VSAT has proven to be a consistently reliable communications tool," the company announced in a statement.
