BCX has partnered with Twoobii to bring major benefits to South Africans using its Skylink VSAT Access.
Customers can now benefit from seamless voice and data connectivity, amplified by speeds from 2Mbps up to 20Mbps through Skylink VSAT Access. This service is optimised for off-grid users with no access to mainstream LTE, fibre, and microwave networks and those who need a solution to the continuing load shedding disruptions.
BCX selected Twoobii to gain rapid deployment and immediate service activation upon installation, plus independence from third-party or terrestrial infrastructure. With satellite uptime availability at 99.5%, Skylink VSAT Access is an extremely dependable offering for use either in day-to-day operations, or during emergencies when other systems have been degraded or disrupted.
Skylink’s 100%, all-Africa signal coverage and support of both voice and POS services serves as an innovative solution for a wide range of industries. Engineering support will be provided by Q-KON Africa, using full end-to-end access to ensure optimum customer service delivery. BCX believes that its full-service model represents the future of Smart Satellite Services in South Africa.
“We are delighted to have partnered with Q-KON Africa and to be able to utilise their Twoobii solution,” said Neo Phukubje, BCX managing executive: wireless solutions. “This next-generation platform and access to high-throughput satellites, ensures we can deliver the connectivity, speed, and value our customers expect, including equipment repair and replacement, support services and uncapped internet over satellite access.”
Skylink has been engineered as the ideal back-up to existing terrestrial services and is almost infinitely scalable, to allow businesses to connect multiple remote branches into their networks. Compatibility with SD-WAN, Layer 2, Layer 3 and VPNS makes Skylink highly beneficial as an underlay to SD-WAN, SD-WAN Express and the public Cloud.
“The success of our partnership with BCX underlines the suitability of our Twoobii Smart Satellite Services as a white label solution for satellite connectivity providers. By leveraging the power of Twoobii in this way, BCX can now deliver an exceptional B2B offering under their Skylink VSAT Access brand,” commented Hendrik Bezuidenhout, account director: key accounts for Q-KON Africa and Twoobii. “The success of BCX has been built on their multi-vendor model, and Q-KON Africa is delighted to be able to add to their continued growth as they recruit more corporate and enterprise customers.”
