SA based Fiber company, Frogfoot has launched a free fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) coverage to schools with up to 1 GBPS. The launch is to bridge the apparent digital divide and provide learners with access to information they would not ordinarily have. Since the launch began in March, Frogfoot has signed up 15 schools, who are waiting for their links to be installed.

Shane Chorley, head of sales at Frogfoot believes that knowledge workers of tomorrow require a different approach to education, an approach that will be built on e-learning and other digital resources requiring reliable, stable connectivity.

“By signing up for our free schools’ network, educators around the country will be introducing the essential ingredients needed for digital education and adding significant value to their learners.”

He also noted that the benefits of having a fiber network will not be limited to interactive education resources. He cited that schools can install and link CCTV cameras using fiber access as an additional step to protect learners in their environments.

“We do have terms and conditions for this program, but encourage all schools in our current (and future) FTTH coverage areas to contact their preferred ISP to place an order. The ISP will, in turn, manage the process with Frogfoot. We believe that any cost savings available to schools will make a difference – and look forward to enabling schools nationwide to getting access to world-class connectivity.” Shane also said.
