5G VoIP and Data Services – The Future of Crystal-Clear Voice for South African Businesses

5G and 5G based VoIP has arrived on South African shores, meaning South African businesses have never had a better opportunity to access world class Voice and Data services via easy and quick to deploy 5G technology. 5G allows many businesses the ability to instantly access data broadband speeds and VoIP voice services previously only available on dedicated fibre lines trenched to their front door.

Many South African businesses have faced problems with fibre since it had to be brought to the doorstep of tens of thousands of South African organisations. This has not been feasible due to the high costs and civils work required to lay fibre optic cables to every commercial location in the country.

Enter 5G Technology: What is 5G?

5G is set to become a global standard for VoIP and provide a stable mobile network for mass adoption of mobile and fixed business telephone communications for the African continent. 5G is a set of agreed standards and technologies brought together over the past 5 years by the worlds leading telecoms equipment manufacturers. In short, 5G is the next evolution in technology from LTE/4G.

Why is 5G Beneficial To My business and Its VoIP Solution?

5G has a 10 to 20-fold increase in both the size and quality of the internet connection. This means it has higher speeds and simultaneously lower latency (Low Latency is an indicator of higher link quality). High latency is the cause of most low-quality or dropped voice and video calls, video buffering or disconnections. Higher speeds ensure that more VoIP phone services may be offered over 5G technology connections including; Multi-User Conference calls, Voice Recordings, Remote Working and Video Tele-Conferencing.
