The Web site, www.neotel.co.za, is the online face of the business, as it aims to deliver international and national bandwidth directly to large companies. Consumer customers are expected to follow next year.

We are delighted to have won this contract against some fairly stiff industry competition, says Kevin Lourens, Cambrient CEO. It is fair to say that the whole countrys eyes are on Neotel at the moment, and Cambrient is dedicated to giving it the kind of online presence that it needs to position the business in the market.

Neotels site states: Neotel aims to reduce the cost of doing business in SA and to extend communications to the second economy. We are focused and flexible, intent on understanding your requirements and delivering services suited to your specific needs. Gradually, our service portfolio will grow to include basic voice, data, Internet, virtual private networks, network management and hosting services, although we currently offer international voice and data transit services for other telecoms providers.
