With individual number portability a reality, local alternative operator Vox Datapro is taking aim at Telkom's leased-line customers, by releasing its Zeppelin product.

Vox's new offering targets the higher end small and medium-sized business, which Vox Datapro MD Gary Sweidan says will provide an alternative to traditional leased-line solutions, like diginet, at a fraction of the price.

Zeppelin is essentially a 4Mbps wireless solution over microwave technology, and allows for both voice and data. “It's a point-to-point (P2P) solution, and the offering uses a licensed spectrum band,” explains Sweidan.

Traditionally, P2P offerings in businesses come at a hefty price. However, as dedicated services, there is very little contention on the lines, and interference and downtime is expected to be minimal.
