Why businesses are choosing fixed wireless internet

_{By Rolf Stucky}

For years, fixed wireless was seen as the “second-best” option, used only when fibre wasn’t available. This was for good reason, wireless was not fast enough 10 years ago! This is not true any more. 

Modern fixed wireless is faster and more reliable than ever before. At Jenny Internet, we’ve upgraded our network with next-generation fixed wireless technology.

This allows us to deliver speeds of up to 500 Mbps in select areas, and up to 100 Mbps in most locations, even in rural and hard-to-reach areas.

So what’s driving the comeback?

1. Speed Without the Wait

Fibre installations can take weeks or even months. Jenny Internet’s fixed wireless can get your business online within 5 working days. No trenches. No delays. Just fast internet when you need it.

And here’s the bonus: you can get a quote within 2 minutes, 24 hours a day. Our website checks if you have coverage and guides you through sign-up so you can get connected as soon as possible.

2. Unshakable Uptime

Our wireless network isn’t affected by cable theft, digging damage, or power outages like other networks. That’s why businesses across Southern Africa trust us to keep them online, even during load-shedding.

3. A More Sustainable Last Mile Option

Fixed wireless is more efficient and cost-effective than mobile or fibre. Our high sites use less than one-fifth the power of mobile towers, making them significantly cheaper to keep online during load-shedding.

Fiber networks often result in stranded infrastructure and ongoing costs when homes don’t convert to customers.

Fixed wireless avoids this by deploying only where there’s demand, which means lower maintenance costs.

We connect farms, plots, informal areas, and high-risk or hard-to-access areas sustainably for the long term.

Jenny Internet has delivered fixed wireless last mile solutions since 2007.

4. We’re Where You Are

We don’t wait for fibre to reach your town. With coverage across South Africa, Eswatini, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, and Lesotho, we’re already delivering reliable DIA and L2 connectivity to farms, mines, lodges, universities, and small businesses in places most providers ignore.

5. Local Support, Fast Response

Jenny Internet is known for its 365-day support, quick installations, and local on-site teams. We take full responsibility from start to finish without passing the buck to third parties.

6. Trusted by Businesses Like Yours

With over 4,500 businesses already on board, more and more companies are switching to Jenny Internet’s fixed wireless.

Why? Fixed Wireless Internet just makes sense in Africa.
