iBurst reaches quarter century mark in base stations

Broadband operator iBurst recently completed the installation of its 250th base station in the East Rand town of Brakpan. The new base station, situated near a mine, brings high-speed broadband Internet access to residents and businesses of Brakpan and Maryvlei Extension, as well as to the local school - the latter part of its social responsibility effort. "This marks a major milestone for iBurst as it continues to expand its national network to bring always-on Internet access to as many consumers and businesses as possible," said Thami Mtshali, CEO of iBurst. The company also recently went live with its first WiMax base station.
