12 May 2021 | Melanie Mingas WIOCC has extended its national hyperscale network in South Africa with 30 new points of presence (PoPs).
Part of a multi-billion Rand investment, the PoPs are along the country’s southern coastline, on a new 1,700km terrestrial link between Durban and Cape Town (see image). It will mean more affordable connectivity to coastal towns from Somerset West, Grabouw, Caledon and Swellendam in the Western Cape, through to Doonside, Kingsburgh and Isipingo in KwaZulu Natal.
Further, WIOCC’s policy of not imposing aggregation restrictions, will allow clients to serve multiple end-users over a single WIOCC connection.
WIOCC said: This latest addition enables Internet Service Providers, mobile network operators, content providers and cloud operators to deliver their services more cost-effectively into a significant number of additional locations.

BACK IN THE DAY

Had Prince Charles Edward Stuart and the Jacobites won the Battle of Culloden, then he might have listened to those many advisers who had urged him to stay in Edinburgh the previous year and proclaim the end of the Union. The Duke of Cumberland (below) and the Hanoverian government army won the day, however, and the Union survived, strengthened by the many Scots who sided with the government and set the scene for the establishment and growth of the British Empire, in which many Scots played a huge part. The next opportunity to end the Union was on September 18, 2014.
