Reliable Wireless Connectivity

Utilising radio waves, Air Connect ensures connectivity across diverse landscapes, including rural farmland, sparse deserts, and rugged terrains, CMC says noting that unlike traditional wired connections such as fiber optics, Air Connect eliminates costs, complexities, and long deployment times. This service offers flexible speeds ranging from 5 Mbps to over 500 Mbps, based on business requirements.

Commenting on the launch, CMC Networks said, “Our aim is to power the next era of digital adoption across Africa, and Air Connect is a significant step forward in doing so. It provides our customers with a wider selection of connectivity options to add redundancy to their networks, helping to keep their businesses up and running regardless of circumstances.”

Rapid Installation and Scalability

According to CMC, Air Connect can be installed very quickly with a service level objective (SLO) of 3 to 10 days, making it ideal for businesses awaiting fiber optic deployment. Additionally, it can serve as an active backup in a software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) overlay deployment, further enhancing network resilience and uptime.

The company emphasised Air Connect’s scalability and adaptability to unique business needs, offering rapid installation, high-speed connectivity, and increased network reliability.
