In a joint statement issued the companies explained that Internet Solutions’ various independent WiFi networks are now consolidated using the Accuris WiFi server to enable “a carrier-grade, homogenous network accessible anywhere with single sign-on”.

“This creates a pan-African WiFi fabric for ‘Internet of Things’ applications demanding a consistent, low-cost, IP access network,” read the statement.

He added, “Like individual consumers, our business users expect always-available connectivity that is fast, affordable and seamless. In other words, connectivity in Africa that is as reliable as connectivity wherever else their customers are located. Installing the Accuris WiFi Server is part of an ongoing process of upgrading our infrastructure, services and technology to deliver on this promise.”
