As broadband options, applications and infrastructure increase the need for better equipment is becoming greater. The fibre router is an upgrade from what most users are used to and is compatible with the changing broadband infrastructure that is become more prevalent in South Africa.

 

A fibre router can take full advantage of the fibre cables that are slowly replacing the copper cables that have long been the standard in telecommunications. For a long time South African Internet users have had to be content with the copper cables that were the backbone of the telephone network. Plagued by copper thefts, these cables were not always very reliable but until recently there has been no compelling reason to upgrade to fibre cables.

 

The completion of the SEACOM cable has sparked a move to upgrade the existing copper cable network of South Africa to a fully fibre cable network to take full advantage of the new levels of bandwidth that the SEACOM cable provides. But for the home user to take advantage of the new fibre infrastructure, a fibre modem is a must-have upgrade.

 

By far the largest benefit is the delivery of very fast broadband to the end user. Speeds ranging from 10 Mbps up to 1 Gbps are possible with current technology. This means unrivalled power in downloading files, viewing live video streaming, accessing information, using multimedia applications and VoIP calls. Sadly South African users are unlikely to access the fastest speeds possible yet, but current fibre routers are capable of easily handling speeds up to 100 Mbps.

 

DrayTek offers home users the fibre routers they need to take advantage of the speeds offered by fibre cable. These routers have flexible bandwidth management options to take full advantage and control of your bandwidth at home or the office to experience the Internet like you have never experienced it before.
