The product that started it all – Blue Sky Communications. It’s a superior, fixed-wireless point-to-point data solution that utilises both licensed and unlicensed spectrum. Blue Sky Communications is a 1:1 Layer 2 last mile product and, via strategic partnerships with major telcos and national network-to-network interfaces (NNI1), Blue Sky Communications is able to offer your business or home a 99.5% availability SLA (high-availability SLA). Blue Sky Communications is an ideal complementary or substitute service to fixed-line last mile technology, and the rapid implementation speed makes it a viable option for any business or home. With quick deployment, wide coverage, MPLS capabilities, and international breakout from our POPs (JHB and CT), Teraco POPs (JHB, CT and DBN) or NNIs, Blue Sky Communications empowers your business or home to connect quickly and efficiently, as well as save on costs.
