[Community-Discuss] [afnog] IPv6 in Zimbabwe

[Andrew Alston]

At the moment it’s on the FTTH network.

Work is going on to do the FTTH network in Zambia next, and we’re also working on doing this on the new LTE network in Zambia.  Once we get those two right, we will look further at the mobile stuff.

There are other challenges there so we’re taking it one step at a time and ensuring we get it right the first time – our one imperative in all of these rollouts is – do NOT impact customer service.

We will get there though ☺

Andrew

In this particular case they are Huawei ONT’s.  So not exactly a regular CPE (ONT’s are typically vendor locked to the deployed OLTs)

Thanks
