What does it take to build and maintain South Africa’s largest wholesale telecommunications network? Robert Jorge, chief network officer at Openserve , unpacks what is involved in this episode of TechCentral’s TCS+. In the latest in a five-part series of interviews with Openserve executives – you can find the other episodes in the series here – Jorge shares what is involved in building a modern telecoms network and how the company makes the technology decisions it does. Jorge unpacks: What sets the Openserve network apart from other networks in South Africa; What the network looks like – from fibre to the home to national backhaul routes to international subsea cables; How Openserve’s network teams measure success – including a look at how the company measures reliability and how it achieves high availability through network design principles; The project to remove legacy copper infrastructure – which is outdated, expensive and prone to theft – from the Openserve network; The impact of load shedding and load reduction on the company’s infrastructure, and what it has done to cope with unreliable electricity supply; and What advances in technology mean for the future of the Openserve network – and what this means for businesses and consumers. It is a fascinating discussion – do not miss it!
