About Us





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amobia Communications is a Network Infrastructure and Internet Services company. We are building a next generation converged public access network using low cost commodity wireless technology. Our focus is on the emerging need for Wireless "Last Mile" access services.

Our strengths are in deploying and managing networks to efficiently utilise wireless technology to build a communications platform fit for the African continent.

Amobia is a 100% South African owned company started by driven entrepreneurs and highly skilled and experienced network and systems engineers.



South Africa has a challenging telecommunications environment. It has become clear over the last 4 years that the solution to our universal access needs is not to wait for monopolies or duopolies, which are largely owned by overseas investors, but to enable the local entrepreneurs or Value Added Network Service (VANS) providers to rapidly deploy wireless network technology. Wireless networks with their rapid deployment, low cost and wide coverage, in areas where the big monopolies cannot reach is the revolution that will enable growth in the African communications and Internet market.

All Amobia clients are connected with CPE units that support secure VPN connections to a group of geographically distributed VPN servers. We use a two-tier authentication system (X.509 Certs and Username/Password) and strong cryptography to ensure your privacy.

The beauty of this model is in its flexibility for resellers or our bigger customers who want to connect a number of remote sites to a central head office. Amobia can supply and configure dedicated on-site VPN servers. The result is a server you can secure within your datacentre or server room environment and all your clients will always be one (VPN) hop away when you traceroute to them.




Amobia has a vision of open standards and interoperability to enable 3rd parties to add value to our services. Our services and systems are engineered to enable resellers to leverage our infrastructure to service their customers.
