In the fibre deployment space this operator’s depth of skills and expertise remains unmatched in South Africa. This is due to its extensive experience in building, operating, monitoring and maintaining optic fibre networks for the last forty years.

With more than 2.4 million households covered with fibre either directly to the home (FTTH) or to the cabinet (FTTC), with a national coverage spanning metros, coastal and urban areas, Openserve is South Africa’s leading network infrastructure provider with the largest fibre footprint, Openserve continues to work relentlessly at offering the customer the best value and best broadband network experience.

Openserve develops and wholesales products that are used by resellers to build innovative products for the consumer market. Continuous review of speeds and pricing is the mechanism used to stimulate competition in the sector, lower the barrier of entry to higher speed broadband offerings and to stimulate growth of the more than 200 Licensed Operators it provisions for. Openserve partners with South Africa’s leading ISPs that work hard to ensure that you can access a superior fibre connection at an affordable price.

Openserve’s Broadband Connect suite of products is provisioned on an open access basis.  The current maximum speed offered is 200Mbps, but the technology deployed is future-proof and will enable higher speed offerings when the market demand changes.

Openserve makes use of state of the art technology that is supported by highly trained and equipped technicians augmented by original equipment manufacturers and service providers in all major and minor centres. Specialist knowledge is available across the organisation at all levels. The network is monitored by a state of the art National Network Operation Centre with full fault detection capability, for better and quicker assurance. Technicians are seamlessly dispatched to customers or to network failures via the latest dispatch technology.

With connectivity becoming a new essential need, we are seeing an increasing number of developers and HOAs that want to connect their estate with high quality fibre.  They understand that a connected development elevates the property value and is a prominent deciding factor for potential home buyers or tenants. Most importantly, the quality of service and the ability for fibre providers to maintain and support this infrastructure is increasingly influencing the choices that HOAs are making.

Openserve has collaborated with developers and Estate managers to connect their developments to the Openserve broadband access network. As part of their engagement and service offering, Openserve now has a first of its kind digital platform that allows this audience to engage with them directly, request services and access their products and solutions.

The Openserve Fibre Network is the largest fibre footprint in South Africa. In 2015, as the already well-established local leader in the Fibre to The Curb space, Openserve entered the Fibre To The Home (FTTH) market. Its FTTH footprint has steadily grown since and is ever expanding as this access medium enjoys prominence in the Operator’s business strategy.

Openserve Fibre Broadband (OFB), the Infrastructure Provider’s connectivity product, is provisioned on an open access basis to more than a hundred FTTH retailers, including the retail arm of the Telkom Group. The current maximum speed offered is 200Mbps, but the technology deployed is future-proof and will enable higher speed offerings when the market demand changes.

Openserve lays claim to the highest number of premises passed with fibre as well as the Infrastructure Provider that has connected the most Fibre to the home customers in South Africa. The open access model allows consumers freedom of choice when deciding on a preferred Internet Service Provider.

The extensive and growing FTTH coverage is deployed in all nine of South Africa’s provinces. All major metros and selected areas in smaller cities and towns are covered. Openserve strategically rolls out its fibre footprint with the intent to avail FTTH connectivity to more South African homes by covering larger areas with fibre.
