Botswana Fibre Networks (BoFiNet) has rolled out the FTTx (Fibre To The X) project which will replace the current copper cables and wireless internet connections to offer fast and cheaper internet connections.

The project is estimated to cost P150 million. The FTTx is a single pair of optical fibre shared between two and up to 128 customers, hence lowering connectivity costs. It is expected to give consumers’ access to a larger choice of interactive applications, such as video conferencing, E-government, E-health, e-Commerce and business applications.

Speaking at the stakeholder meeting yesterday, BoFiNet chief Engineer Projects and Implementation, Mpho Koolese, said through this initiative, BoFiNet would be able to utilise fibre resources efficiently at low premiums.
