We are pleased to announce that ICTGlobe, a leading player in the telecoms industry, has expanded its network through new aggregation agreements with providers. These partnerships have enriched ICTGlobe’s offerings, especially for its channel partners, by providing a wider range of carrier-grade fixed-wireless and fibre connectivity options, specifically tailored for their Fibre-to-the-Business (FTTB) clients.
By collaborating with multiple owners of last-mile fibre and microwave links, ICTGlobe capitalizes on competition, economies of scale, and preferential rates, resulting in reduced business connectivity costs for its channel partners. Rad Jankovic, the co-CEO of ICTGlobe, highlights that these agreements can lead to potential savings of up to 40% on monthly voice and data bills. This cost reduction is especially advantageous for corporate South Africa and small businesses, as it helps in managing overall expenses in a challenging economic environment.
Emphasizing the importance of driving down telecommunications costs amidst limited annual economic growth, Jankovic sees increased competition as a viable strategy to propel South Africa forward.
The recent agreements with licensed open-access fibre providers and a national licensed microwave provider have contributed significantly to the diversification of ICTGlobe’s offerings. The addition of microwave fixed-wireless access, in particular, offers a reliable backup internet option, crucial for business continuity in areas prone to power outages.
Furthermore, ICTGlobe has introduced a purpose-built connectivity product called NetSwitch, specifically designed for remote areas. Noteworthy among its features is the remarkable ability to maintain 99.99% uptime when connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This level of reliability is achieved by synchronizing connectivity and services from multiple providers simultaneously, ensuring uninterrupted operations, continuous service, and redundancy. Additionally, NetSwitch caters to low-jitter, real-time applications, making it an ideal choice for vital applications and remote branch connectivity.

What This Means for SA Resellers
ICTGlobe’s expansion of its channel partnerships is relevant for South African resellers evaluating alternative wholesale connectivity and VISP (Virtual ISP) infrastructure providers. ICTGlobe operates in the South African connectivity wholesale market, offering data, voice, and related services to resellers and ISPs who need to build their own branded service offerings without the capital investment of owning physical network infrastructure.
For SA resellers looking to launch or scale an ISP or connectivity reseller practice, the VISP model ICTGlobe supports is worth evaluating alongside competitors like African Unity Telecom (AUT), Afrihost Wholesale, and others in the local market. The key evaluation criteria are network reach (ICTGlobe’s peering and last-mile access), SLA quality, billing system integration, and the depth of technical and commercial support provided to channel partners.
Resellers already providing SIP trunks, UCaaS, or VoIP services to business clients have a natural adjacency to connectivity services — the same businesses that buy VoIP from you also buy internet connectivity, and controlling or influencing both the voice and data layers of a client’s communications infrastructure is a significantly stronger position than providing only one. Engage with ICTGlobe’s channel team to understand their partner tiers, margin structures, and the minimum commitment levels required to launch a connectivity offering under their platform.
