Hey guys
Anyone know how the big mines around Sun City and Boshoek connect? There is hardly any Telkom infrastructure out there, and our land lines have been stolen so many times, Telkom has refused to replace them now. We have a satellite connection but it's hardly the most speedy connection in the world...
Surely the big mines out Rustenburg way would have something decent in place?

Re: Internet connectivity near Sun City
Yeah 3G is the way to go but not for servers.
off topic: I was at the Sun City spring festival. Awe man, what can I say without breaking any of the forum rules!

Spelling corrected 
Sorry my spelling sucks. Whatever happened to Firefox checking your spelling anyhow?
Vodacom 3G is decidedly patchy around our offices out there. MTN better, but not great either.
Surely must be something other than cellular??

Re: Internet connectivity near Sun City
Most big businesses have microwave links. They range from R10K to R100K per link, depending on the equipment.
Re: Internet connectivity near Sun City
Depends what usage you need out of this, but you could set up a 3G router with a high gain antenna.
Which mine is this, the diamond mine? I did some work their, had decent 3G access using a higher gain antenna.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Re: Internet connectivity near Sun City
A Poynting 3G antenna is around R900. Not sure of the router.
The other more stable option is VSAT. I don't have prices on that. But if you are looking at either VSAT or Microwave, give me a shout. I plan/built wireless links for a living and I also know people doing large satellite links.

hello
I think microwave links because they have range from R10k to R100k, and changed according to the equipment.and another choice 3G router with a high gain antenna.
