Liquid Unveils Business Internet Access to Empower South African Enterprises

Liquid Intelligent Technologies, a business of Cassava Technologies and a continental technology powerhouse of African heritage, has announced the launch of its innovative Business Internet Access (BIA) service in South Africa. This new solution is set to transform the landscape of business connectivity by delivering dedicated, high-speed, and affordable internet access to companies of all sizes, from agile startups to established corporates.

Bridging the Digital Divide for Businesses

With the digital economy now a vital part of South Africa’s growth strategy, reliable and scalable internet connectivity has become a non-negotiable requirement for business success. Liquid’s BIA service addresses this need head-on by offering a next-generation internet solution that eliminates the prohibitive costs and technical complexity often associated with Dedicated Internet Access (DIA).

Unlike traditional shared internet lines, the BIA service provides businesses with an exclusive, dedicated internet connection—guaranteeing consistent speeds and performance even during peak periods. This exclusive access is vital for organisations where operational continuity and data reliability are essential for everything from online commerce and financial transactions to remote collaboration and cloud-based services.

Enterprise-Grade Reliability and 24/7 Support

A major highlight of BIA is its robust Service Level Agreement (SLA), which commits to up to 99% uptime and includes around-the-clock support every day of the year. In today’s competitive environment, even brief periods of internet downtime can translate into significant financial losses and reputational risk. Liquid’s 24/7/365 helpdesk ensures that technical support is always on hand, minimising costly interruptions and allowing businesses to focus on their core operations with peace of mind.

“Our BIA launch is more than just a new product; it’s a milestone in our ongoing mission to ensure that no South African business is left behind in the digital revolution,” said Ziaad Suleman, CEO of Cassava Technologies in South Africa and Botswana. “With reliable, high-speed internet now the backbone of successful businesses, we are proud to offer a solution that fuels growth and economic inclusion.”

Built-In Cyber Security: Proactive DDoS Protection

Liquid’s BIA is not only about speed and reliability—it also brings advanced cyber security into the hands of South African businesses. Every BIA connection includes Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) visibility reporting as a standard feature. This service provides real-time insights into attempted attacks and suspicious traffic, empowering businesses to make data-driven cyber security decisions and take swift, proactive measures to protect their networks.

Cyber threats are on the rise globally, and SMEs are increasingly in the crosshairs of cybercriminals. By embedding DDoS visibility and reporting, Liquid offers a critical line of defence that supports regulatory compliance and fosters trust with clients and partners.

Scalable Connectivity for Every Stage of Growth

Powered by Liquid’s extensive, wholly owned and managed network infrastructure, the BIA service is designed with scalability in mind. As organisations grow, their connectivity needs change—Liquid’s offering allows for seamless adjustments in bandwidth and service levels to match evolving business realities.

This commitment to supporting businesses on their growth journeys reflects Liquid Intelligent Technologies’ wider purpose: empowering Africa’s digital transformation through innovative, accessible, and secure technology solutions.

Leading the Charge in Digital Empowerment

Liquid Intelligent Technologies has consistently ranked among Africa’s leading connectivity providers, with a footprint spanning over 100,000 km of fibre networks and a presence in more than 20 countries. The launch of BIA in South Africa further cements its role as a key driver of digital inclusion and economic growth on the continent.

As the country’s businesses increasingly embrace cloud services, remote work, and digital commerce, solutions like BIA are poised to become essential infrastructure, driving competitiveness, resilience, and long-term prosperity for the nation’s enterprises.
