SkyVision Networks South Africa, has signed an agreement with Broadlink, a leading telecommunications and infrastructure provider, to bring reliable, secure, cost effective Virtual Private Network (VPN) and Internet connectivity services to businesses in South Africa.

SkyVision Networks South Africa’s VSAT services will enhance Broadlink’s range of dedicated terrestrial and wireless communication solutions.

SkyVision’s VSAT services allow Broadlink to offer end to end business connectivity to sites that cannot be served by a reliable terrestrial or wireless connection. With this addition, Broadlink can now provide VPN and Internet connectivity solutions all across Africa.

Broadlink offers high quality, performance-guaranteed, end-to-end managed connections for the South African corporate market as well as for multinationals seeking African connectivity.

By utilizing SkyVision Satellite services and its state of the art local Hub and Teleport, Broadlink will offer flexible and scalable solutions for businesses looking to expand their communications requirements from Southern Africa into and around Africa.

Mike Brown, Managing Director of Broadlink said: “Broadlink has made great strides in the South African business market, however we have seen an increased demand - from our customers - for communication solutions catering to business sites and branches across our borders. By partnering with SkyVision we can now accommodate their requirements for connectivity solutions across the African continent – allowing us to expand our reach exponentially”

One of the first Broadlink customers to utilize SkyVision’s VPN VSAT service is a pan-African logistics and distribution firm that uses SkyVision services for interconnecting its extensive network of offices and facilities across South Africa and sub-equatorial Africa.

“SkyVision showcased its professional abilities and demonstrated amazing flexibility which allowed us to customize the service offering and suit it to meet the customer’s technical requirements and budget” Andre Engelbrecht, Broadlink VSAT Services specialist stated.

Iftah Amit, SkyVision's Vice President of Sales commented: "SkyVision South Africa is thrilled to have Broadlink as one of its channel partners in South Africa. This partnership aligns with our ongoing strategy to increase our high quality services reach to business customers in South Africa.”
