Gauteng Broadband Network (GBN)

The Gauteng Provincial Government has launched a project called the Gauteng Broadband Network (GBN) to offer residents of the province access to broadband internet services.  

Executive Summary  

The Gauteng Provincial Government has launched a project called the Gauteng Broadband Network (GBN) to offer residents of the province access to broadband internet services. The project, which is currently in its third phase, aims to increase the coverage of the province's existing fibre optic cable network. The GBN will enable the province government to carry out its smart provincial efforts, facilitate auxiliary programmes like e-learning, e-government, and e-health, and offer ICT support services, among other things, to also finish off unfinished business from Phases 1 and 2. It should take three years to finish the project. The Gauteng Broadband Network is on schedule and currently connects 8 Core Nodes with 1181 sites around the province via a 1500 km network of fibre.

In the GBN project phase Three, the AMBA Consortium has cutting edge competency and profound experience to professionally design, build, operate, and maintain the broadband network infrastructure for Gauteng Province. The consortium will use a combination of technologies, such as fibre optic, microwave, and satellite, to provide reliable and affordable broadband services to the government sites.  

The consortium will also groom the previously advantaged, provide training and support to the local communities and stakeholders to ensure the sustainability and impact of the project.  


Project Scope

The GPG strategy is to modernize government operations and service delivery through Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Broadband is the key ICT foundation infrastructure that enables government to deliver e–services. To achieve this, GPG is rolling out GBN program in phases. The Department introduced a 10-year plan called “Growing Gauteng Together for 2030” (GGT 2030), which is about building a sustainable future for all.
