Technology Orbiting Chaos

This panel discussion will explore the challenges ISPs face in providing resilient, inclusive internet services in South Africa. Changes in the market and demands from customers over the last few year, barriers to expanding services to rural areas and policy changes that could accelerate delivery will be debated by the panelists.

Service providers are increasingly rolling out hybrid network architectures in order to reach more customers. Our panelists will look at what is driving ISPs towards hybrid models, discuss the technical and operational challenges of integrating fixed and wireless services and look at the role of automation and AI in managing hybrid networks.
