Electrocom — wireless internet provider in South Africa
Electrocom is a KwaZulu-Natal internet service provider trading since 2008 from Wartburg in the KZN Midlands, built around its own uncapped wireless broadband network. The company targets the rural and small-town addresses where fibre has not been trenched, and it resells fibre from Frogfoot, Metro Fibre, Openserve and Lightstruck where those networks do reach. It is an ICASA ECS and ECNS licensed operator, and it also sells VoIP, hosted PBX and VPN services on top of the connectivity.

Line of sight and tower reach in the Midlands
Fixed wireless is decided by what your roof can see. Electrocom runs its own network across the KZN Midlands, so the first question is whether a tower covers your farm or small-town address and whether the path to it is clear of ridgelines and mature trees. Ask for a site survey before you commit, since a marginal path tends to show up as packet loss in wet weather rather than as an outright failure on install day. Where one of the four partner fibre networks has trenched past you, the fibre product will usually be the better buy. The wider market sits in the wireless provider directory.
Who Electrocom is a fit for
- Farms and small-town addresses in the KZN Midlands with no fibre in the street
- Buyers who want a licensed operator running its own network rather than a pure reseller
- Customers who want internet, VoIP and a hosted PBX from the same local supplier
