Key Considerations & General Comparison
Use this at-a-glance guide to size the right plan for your site and avoid surprises on contracts, install costs and performance.
Contention ratio
Lower is better. 1:1 or 2:1 = steadier speeds and premium SLAs. 4:1+ is common on standard business tiers and costs less.
Symmetrical vs asymmetrical
Symmetrical (e.g. 10/10) helps cloud apps, CCTV backhaul and video calls. Asymmetrical (e.g. 10/5) is cheaper and fine for light uploads.
Install costs
Expect once-off fees (typical range R1,500–R4,500+). Some deals waive install on longer terms — check the fine print.
Coverage & LOS
Performance depends on line-of-sight, rooftop access and spectrum. Always run a site check before you commit.
Fixed LTE vs microwave
Fixed LTE is quick to turn up but may have FUP/throttling. Microwave is typically uncapped/unshaped with SLA — ideal for business-grade uptime.
Static IP & VPN
Needed for CCTV, POS, remote access and hosted services. Confirm IPv4/IPv6 options and any routed ranges up front.

How to check if Business Wireless is feasible
Share address & LOS info
Send your site address (or pin) and a roof photo if you have one so we can run a quick line-of-sight (LOS) check.
Confirm options & quote
We confirm feasibility and speed options (e.g. 10–50 Mbps), then issue a quote with any add-ons like static IP or managed Wi-Fi.
Book site survey
On acceptance, we schedule a site survey to confirm mounting point, power & earth, and lock an installation date.
Install, provision & test
We mount & align the dish, provision QoS/VPN, run throughput & stability tests, and hand over with support contacts.
SLA & Support
Uptime commitment
Contracted service levels with credits for breaches. Request the full SLA schedule for targets and remedies.
24/7 NOC
Real-time monitoring, proactive alerts, and first-response targets to keep branches and sites online.
Change control

Business Wireless — FAQs
How long does business wireless installation take?
Most sites go live in 5–15 business days after line-of-sight (LOS) and rooftop access are approved.
Do I need line-of-sight for microwave internet?
Yes. A clear path between your site and our nearest tower is required. We run a desktop LOS check and, if needed, a site survey.
Is the service uncapped and unshaped?
Business wireless tiers are uncapped and designed for consistent performance; traffic policies are documented per plan and SLA.
Do you provide static IPs and VPN support?
Yes. Static IPv4 is available. The service is VPN-ready for site-to-site, remote access, CCTV, POS and hosted apps.
What speeds are available and are they symmetrical?
Typical tiers are 10–50 Mbps. Symmetry depends on plan and local radio conditions.
Is there an SLA and proactive monitoring?
Yes. Uptime targets, response and restore commitments are included. Our 24/7 NOC proactively monitors links.
Can I add LTE failover or a secondary path?
Yes. We can bundle LTE/5G or a second wireless link for automatic failover. SD-WAN/VPN options are available.
What are typical once-off installation costs?
Costs vary by mounting, cabling and hardware. Promotions may reduce fees; final amounts are confirmed in your quote.
Do you support VoIP, Cloud PBX and Teams integration?
Yes. SIP trunks and Cloud PBX with number porting, call recording and Microsoft Teams integration.
How do I start a coverage check?
