Switchcom Distribution is an ICT distributor based in Sandton (Linbro Business Park), Johannesburg, specialising in wireless, networking, VoIP, surveillance, and fibre products. Founded in 2015, the company has built a position as a go-to source for resellers, installers, ISPs, WISPs, and end users looking for competitive pricing on networking and connectivity equipment.
Switchcom’s model is built around sales, distribution, technical support, and financing — providing resellers with a single procurement point for a broad range of brands at competitive wholesale pricing.
Brand Portfolio
Switchcom carries a portfolio that spans the key categories SA resellers work in:
Wireless and networking: MikroTik, Ubiquiti, Cambium Networks, TP-Link, Tenda, Mercusys, Tarana Wireless, and Siklu. The MikroTik and Ubiquiti lines are particularly core — Switchcom positions itself as a master distributor for both brands in South Africa.
VoIP and telephony: Fanvil and Yealink. Both are widely used SIP phone manufacturers, and Switchcom carries their full desk phone, DECT, and conference phone ranges. For resellers deploying 3CX, Yeastar, or Grandstream PBX systems, Fanvil and Yealink handsets are standard pairings.
Surveillance: Hikvision — one of the largest IP surveillance brands globally. Switchcom distributes the Hikvision range for resellers serving the security installation market.
Fibre and infrastructure: Raisecom, Extralink, and Huawei networking equipment. ALGcom antennas for wireless deployments. EDS UPS for power protection.
Who Switchcom Serves
Switchcom’s customer base is primarily ISPs, WISPs, resellers, and installers — businesses that need networking and connectivity hardware at competitive prices with reliable availability. The company’s strength is price competitiveness and product breadth in the wireless and networking space.
How Switchcom Compares for SA Resellers
Switchcom competes directly with MiRO Distribution, Scoop Distribution, and Nology in the SA networking and wireless distribution space. The key difference is positioning: Switchcom tends to compete aggressively on price, while MiRO leans more toward technical depth and training, and Scoop toward breadth of VoIP and PBX brands.
For resellers primarily buying MikroTik, Ubiquiti, and Fanvil in volume, Switchcom is worth comparing on pricing. For resellers who need deeper technical pre-sales support or vendor-certified training, the other distributors may offer more in that regard.
What SA Resellers Should Know
Switchcom is a practical choice for volume procurement of networking, wireless, and VoIP hardware in South Africa. If you’re an ISP, WISP, or IT reseller buying MikroTik, Ubiquiti, Fanvil, or Yealink regularly, it’s worth having a Switchcom account alongside your other distributor relationships to compare pricing and availability.
