BushGuru services

How can BushGuru help you?

We offer a wide range of networking and telephony (telephone-related) services within about 50 kilometre radius of Phalaborwa. No matter how remote your location, we can reach you. Our dictionary doesn’t include the word “impossible”. Here are a few reasons you might want to use our services...

You’re in a remote or rural area

If you live even a few kilometres outside Phalaborwa, Lulekani or Namakgale, the chances are that you’re having problems connecting to the internet. You might also be constantly losing your landline telephone to copper theft. In many areas, you might even have problems getting a cellphone signal. Perhaps you’ve tried a local company’s wireless internet solution – and been less than impressed.

We can help you. Our solution is reliable, fast and cost-effective. You can choose between a variety of packages to suit your needs. To find out more, talk to us.

You’ve got a business in town but want to work from home

You can take a laptop home and work there, but that isn’t always enough. Wouldn’t it be great if you could sit at home and access the business files that you store on the office network? Wouldn’t it be even better if you could send large files backwards and forwards without using any costly internet bandwidth? You can, with BushGuru’s help.

What if someone phones your office? It can be annoying for customers to be told, “Sorry, he’s not here at the moment – can you call his cellphone?” only to find that they can’t get through because you’ve got no signal. Wouldn’t it be great if the office could put the call straight through to your home as though you were just another extension in the office? You can, with BushGuru’s help.

You want to install remote telephone extensions

Whether you want an extension in the same building or 50 kilometres from Phalaborwa, we can help you. Connect your business with your home, or your lodge with your security gatehouse – there are all kinds of possibilities. All lines terminate at BushGuru’s premises in town, literally a stone’s throw away from the Telkom tower (and therefore not prone to copper theft). To find out more, talk to us.

You have trouble getting or keeping a landline

If you’ve got a business with an advertised landline telephone number, it can be infuriating when the copper thieves set to work and cut you off. Suddenly your customers can’t reach you: you could be losing business.

If you’re in a remote area, especially if you’re getting on in years, you might be worried by the loss of security involved with losing your home landline – particularly if cellphone coverage is patchy in your area.

BushGuru can provide you with a copper-thief-proof alternative, either using your existing landline number or a new one. To find out more, talk to us.

You want to keep an eye on a remote location

BushGuru can offer video surveillance that will allow you to keep an eye on, for example, remote storerooms, your baby, your staff or even your own house while you’re away. Simply log in over the internet with your private details and you can keep tabs on things from a distance. We can even disguise the camera so that nobody knows you’re looking.

You want to provide a Wi-Fi hotspot to your guests

Wi-Fi hotspots are an expected value-added service at hotels, guesthouses, restaurants and airports all over the world. If you’d like to keep up with the crowd, you can install a Wi-Fi hotspot from BushGuru.

You have an existing wireless internet connection, and you aren’t happy

Not all Wi-Fi is created equal. Without wanting to blind you with science, our wireless offering runs on a completely different system to all the others in Phalaborwa. BushGuru’s wireless networks use a powerful new technology that is not only faster and more reliable than other wireless technologies, but can work in areas where there is no “line of sight” (something that is required for all other wireless networks).This illustration shows you why normal wireless networks don’t work if you live in a dip or valley:

Why normal wireless networks don't work in a valley

BushGuru’s network can reach you even if you live in a valley. To compare BushGuru’s wireless offering with your existing wireless network, contact us for information. We can even come to your site and do a demonstration to show the difference in speed and reliability, subject to availability. If you want a personal recommendation from someone who has switched to BushGuru, we can provide that too.
