EC/IST FP6 Project No 026920 Work Package: 6 Type of document: Report Date: 20.12.2007 File name: OP_WP6_D37_V1.0.doc Version: 1.0 Title: Worldwide Market Research Report 214 / 356 D-Link (www.dlink-me.com) is a note firm that produces chiefly modem. It is also interested, even though in smaller way, to the PLC technology too. In Africa, D-Link sells in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisie, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania and Uganda. 5.4.4 PLC service providers and cases 5.4.4.1 Overview [A28] Africa Online is one of the few pioneering service providers providing broadband Internet access over power lines. Access speeds are available from as low as 32Kbps to as high as 1Mbps, and more. Tests have been carried out in Ghana and they are exploring providing this as a commercial service shortly. Africa Online provides also to their clients, the classical ADSL access, the DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) downlink-only satellite technology, the VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) 2- way satellite service, the VPN (Virtual Private Networks) security solution, the MPLS (Multi- Protocol Label Switching) standards-approved technology, broadband wireless (both mobile and fixed solutions), VoIP, ISDN and Dial-up connectivity. [A29] At the end of 2003, Grintek Telecom signed a partnership agreement with Cybercom International to distribute its latest Power Line Communications (PLC) solution into Africa. The agreement covered sales, implementation, support and training. The architecture, at this time, offered a bandwidth of 45 Mbps. The Tshwane Municipality purchased the InovaTech DS2 solution as a pilot system as part of its ongoing investigation into new technologies. Allied Technologies Limited (Altech), was a joint winner of their Top ICT Companies in SA research survey. The other joint winner was Hewlett-Packard. Additionally, the City of Cape Town implemented Landis+Gyr's latest technology common-base prepayment electricity meters, the Cashpower Sabre model. The City of Cape Town required a specific range of serial numbers for the meters that was compatible with its database system.

[A30] In Nigeria, not much has happened on the discussions between internet service companies such as Direct-on-PC and NEPA to use NITEL's power line infrastructures to deliver internet services. 5.4.4.2 PLC cases in Africa Despite the electric grid is poorly spread in Africa and reaches only the 2% of the population, there are some interesting projects related to the use of power line communications, many of which in an already advanced state. The most important projects are in South Africa, Ghana and Egypt. 5.4.4.2.1 PLC cases in South Africa [A15] Tshwane is widely considered the leader when it comes to municipal telecoms, and when one looks at their infrastructure and projects it is not difficult to see why. This municipality has developed an extensive fiber infrastructure and is now starting to build telecoms services on this foundation.
