Ladysmith Wireless Solutions: Adapting to local connectivity demands
South Africa’s rural and secondary-city internet users often face limited access to fibre. Providers must rely on hybrid models that use wireless and point-to-multipoint infrastructure to meet bandwidth demand. Ladysmith Wireless Solutions has adapted to this by building rooftop antennas, managing tower uplinks, and peering with Tier‑1 providers such as Hurricane Electric and Liquid Intelligent Technologies.
The company addresses common industry challenges like load shedding and oversubscription by operating its own ASN and optimising route selection. Its service model avoids overuse of shared IP pools and maintains network transparency. The focus on low latency and no data shaping sets it apart from larger providers offering entry-level capped products.
