Massive project planned for Limpopo

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 29 January 2008

The Limpopo government plans to connect 6000 sites, including 4400 schools and a number of clinics and hospitals in the Limpopo province to the Internet through a massive wireless broadband technology project.

The project, which is expected to be completed in the 1st quarter of 2010, will involve the installation of infrastructure that’s needed to employ wireless broadband technology in the province. The installation of the infrastructure will make it possible for the above-mentioned parties to connect to the Internet. This will hugely benefit various communities in the province, especially those in remote areas.

The Limpopo government has short-listed 13 companies for the job. One company will walk away as the winner on Saturday the 23rd of February 2008, and after that, the hard work will start. The company chosen as the winner will be responsible for installing, designing, maintaining and last but not least, strategically placing the shared broadband network within the province.
