Wireless network communication is changing the manner in which we work, acquire knowledge and information and even how we are entertained. Wireless technology has fast evolved in the last four years to support true broadband communication.

 

The inherent value of this technology lies in its geographic reach, allowing communication to isolated and unconnected communities for the fist time while creating new markets. Wireless technology challenges the traditional telecommunication cost structures, thus empowering the end-users with greater choice. 

The promise of wireless technology is a key accelerator of change in telecommunications. Access to increased data transfer capacity through broadband, the convergence of both networks and hardware devices, and of course new regulatory frameworks have increased mobile teledensity and competition in the industry.

FastComm built South Africa’s first wireless data network and delivered the first UMTS-TDD network in Africa. We continue to innovate, challenge boundaries and disrupt conventional thinking as we provide Wireless Information, Communication and Entertainment (ICE) solutions to markets in Africa and the Middle East.

 

FastComm is a holding company for a collection of subsidiary entities that perform specific but complementary roles in the Wireless communication environment. We design, develop, implement and maintain wireless networks. Our customers include a growing number of stakeholders and roleplayers in broadband wireless communication. We enable network operators to deliver cost-effective and unrestricted access to their fixed and mobile customers, and for many thousands of end-users of these services, we are the wireless service provider of choice.

 

FastComm was first in deploying broadband wireless networks in emerging markets in Africa. As agents of international broadband solutions, we continue to contribute to evolving wireless standards ensuring that through our subsidiaries the most appropriate available technology is mapped to the customer need.

 

FastComm has always used technology to deliver the best possible solutions to our customers. We take pride in our ability to understand our customer’s requirements, our high level of operational competence and ensuring the best fit of solution for our customer.

Our markets in Africa and the Middle East have long been restrained by State-run monopolies. The general trend to liberation is slow.
