How it works

A fibre solution for rural areas.

FibrePoynt technology uses passive beam forming, beam pattern diversity and beam shaping to get the best possible signal to the home units which then provides Wi-Fi for the end user devices to connect to. The technology promises a cost effective, faster-rollout, and high-speed alternative deployment of broadband infrastructure in areas that were previously deemed unfeasible.

Working with the Technology Innovation Agency

FibrePoynt is funded by the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), an entity of the Department of Science and Innovation.

TIA Portfolio Commercialisation Manager Sipho Dikweni said the technology not only puts South Africa on the map but responds to the socio-economic challenges and the country’s strategic broadband imperatives to make internet accessible to everyone, irrespective of their socio-economic status and geographic location.

Low to middle income peri-urban and township households can now connect to the internet, which was not possible with current technologies.
