Profile

SENTECH is a South African-based digital infrastructure and content delivery company providing services in South Africa and across the African continent.

SENTECH has an extensive, strategically positioned infrastructure giving coverage to more than 80% of the South African population. This infrastructure gives SENTECH the ability to offer facility leasing and co-location on our masts, and our site location enables us to provide connectivity and infrastructure services to the retail, Telcos, and public sectors. We provide broadcast transmission services to all commercial and public broadcasters, including daily service to over 150 community radio stations countrywide.

As holder of both an Individual Electronic Communications Network Services (I-ECNS) licence and an Individual Electronic Communications Services (I-ECS) licence, the Company can provide both voice-based telecommunications, broadband and multimedia services.

SENTECH provides the following solutions and services:

Video and audio content distribution

Mast and Towers facilities leasing
SENTECH provides co-location of its masts and towers to leading telecommunications and wireless providers on more than 320 high-sites. The high-sites are situated strategically at different locations with different heights to fit customer coverage needs, throughout South Africa. The company provides and manages passive infrastructure services with value-added services for customers.

Broadband connectivity
SENTECH connects households, clinics, schools and communities in South Africa through satellite, VSAT and fixed wireless.

Data centre infrastructure
The company offers a tier 2 data centre co-location services to customers and small enterprises. The company is in the process of upgrading to tier 3 to offer enterprise-type cloud and infrastructure services.

Satellite operations
Throughout its 30 year of existence the company has been providing satellite services for broadcasting such as DTH and VSAT. The company has a plan of continuing to scale up its satellite operation for broadcast, broadband connectivity and surveillance.
