Werners World of Wireless expands service mix
Trading as World Of Wireless (WOW), the company positions itself as a regional Internet service provider that offers multiple access paths rather than a single product. Its services include fibre via major South African last-mile operators—such as Openserve, Vuma, Octotel, Frogfoot, Evotel, MetroFibre, ZoomFibre, Lightstruck and Vodacom Fibre—alongside WOW-branded fibre, fixed-wireless packages, and Voice-over-IP. The services page also lists installation choices (from equipment purchase to free-to-use models on contract), business SLA options, and a catalogue of add-ons from UPS units to CCTV, alarms, gate motors and LTE SIMs.
Coverage focuses on Mpumalanga and adjacent coal-belt localities—Middelburg, Witbank/Emalahleni, Pullenshope (Hendrina), Kriel, Matla, Ruitkuil (Arnot), Komati and numerous surrounding towns, villages and farms—with the company stating that all towers have backup power to ride through outages.

Werners World of Wireless builds resilience and reach
The operator’s backbone footprint appears in public routing sources, listed as a South African ISP with active peering and one upstream, aligning with its regional-ISP profile. Internet Society’s IXP Tracker shows Werners World of Wireless as a member at NAPAfrica Johannesburg (10 Gbps, RS-peering), a move that shortens paths to local networks and content and helps constrain transit spend—useful in markets where energy costs and long-haul routes can be volatile.
Industry conditions across South Africa continue to favour mixed delivery. Fixed-wireless remains a practical bridge where ducts are scarce; fibre resale gives choice in streets already lit; and VoIP plus managed add-ons round out small-business needs. Sector bodies highlight fixed-wireless as a way to bring stable, fast access to towns, farms and peri-urban areas, while providers address load-shedding with on-site backup and UPS offerings. WOW’s public materials mirror that recipe: layer multiple last-mile options, publish simple contact points, and keep power resilience visible in the offer.
