Dark Fibre Africa (DFA), which started rolling out its network in metropolitan areas in October 2007, specialises in the financing, building and installation of carrier neutral, open access, ducting infrastructure. This infrastructure is commissioned by licensed telecom and Internet operators, which provide high-speed voice, data and video services to customers.

The underlying business principle is that of an Independent “Open Access” Infrastructure. DFA will always be Competition-Neutral providing a Ducting Infrastructure that is “Open” to all licensed players, on equal terms.

There is a state-of-the-art network monitoring center (NOC) in Rivonia (Johannesburg) that provides operators with outsourced fibre network management services.
