Who we are
A neutral, licensed fibre network operator
OANet is an ICASA-licensed Fibre Network Operator (FNO) built on a focused model: neutral, specialised and conflict-free. We finance, plan, design, build, operate and manage open-access fibre networks — while licensed ISPs bring the innovation, service plans and value directly to customers.
“We build the open platform. ISPs bring the innovation and value to customers. This is how the internet should work.”
The full turnkey fibre model
We partner with property developers, homeowners' associations, body corporates, landlords, government and municipalities to deliver fibre networks end to end — FTTH, FTTB, FTTN, FTTC and MDU.
$ — Finance
We fund network build and equipment — no capital outlay for the property owner.
P — Plan & design
Site surveys, route design and civils planning tailored to each estate or building.
B — Build
Underground and aerial fibre construction, manholes, handholes and splicing.
O — Operate
Active network operations, monitoring and traffic management around the clock.
S — Support
Homeowner onboarding, installation and ongoing customer care.
M — Manage
Long-term maintenance, upgrades and asset management for the life of the network.
One neutral network, open to every service provider
Government facilitates rights of way. Investors fund infrastructure. OANet owns and operates the physical fibre layer under long-term easement agreements with property owners — HOAs, body corporates and developers. ISPs lease capacity to sell broadband, keeping the network genuinely open and free of retail conflicts of interest.
