ikeja steps up to the plate during COVID-19 usage surge with help from eNetworks

​ikeja Wireless – an Internet service provider (ISP) that delivers high quality, cost-effective Internet access services to township communities around South Africa – has ensured it can cater for the surge in usage during the lockdown period, with the help of ISP and network specialist, eNetworks, a Datacentrix company.

“With the outbreak of COVID-19, we knew that we were going to have to move fast to get the additional needed capacity in place,” explains Conrad Minnaar, Head of Networks at ikeja Wireless. “As we entered the lockdown period, the company has had to react in real-time to bandwidth ceilings being hit. This has meant that our own teams have been under immense pressure to roll-out last-minute installations and infrastructure upgrades.

Why RFID is a ‘must-have’ technology, regardless of sector

​The benefits of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology are far-reaching, pertinent to many industries and for a variety of applications. One such gain is quick and efficient data capturing for intelligent asset tracking and management, explains Marc van der Poll, network architect at Datacentrix.
​
“Without RFID, an automotive business with a warehouse storing R1 billion worth of goods, for example, would see an average annual stock loss of around R200 000. The business may conduct an asset inventory once a year, which would take the full staff complement an entire week to complete – technically unproductive time. For the rest of the year, the organisation relies on its accounting system to monitor what should be in the warehouse. However, this would most likely be inaccurate, as it would not detail the actual stock holding.”

​This was the question posed by Bill Hoggarth, national sales manager: digital business solutions at Datacentrix. He was speaking at the recent 'Robotics, Drones and AI in Insurance' conference, held in Rosebank, Johannesburg.

​In answer to the question, Hoggarth clarified that no, he did not believe that artificial intelligence (AI) was changing the nature of insurance – at least, not on its own. “My view is that AI is not reinventing insurance, but that it is part of the mix of technologies that is causing a shift in insurance today,” he said.
