Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Industry Solutions
Q: Which industries does Altech Solutions serve?
We serve a broad range of industries including education (schools and universities), legal practices, retail (single and multi-store), manufacturing and production facilities, hospitality (hotels, lodges, restaurants), agriculture and agri-processing, small to medium enterprises (SMEs), corporate offices, healthcare facilities, financial services, and government institutions. Each industry page on this site provides specific detail on the solutions relevant to that sector.
Q: Are the solutions on each industry page standardised or customised?
Each industry page outlines the typical solutions and common challenges for that sector, but every engagement is customised to the specific client. Two schools, two law firms or two manufacturers may have very different technology needs depending on their size, location, budget, growth plans and existing infrastructure. Our assessment process ensures the solution we recommend is tailored to your unique situation — not a generic package.
Q: Can Altech help if my industry is not listed on this page?
Yes. While we have deep experience in the industries listed, our solutions are technology-based and many are applicable across sectors. If your industry is not listed, contact us directly. We will discuss your requirements and determine whether we can help. Many of our engagements fall outside predefined categories — we are transparent about our experience and will let you know if we are not the right fit.
Q: How does Altech approach a new industry engagement?
Every engagement begins with a discovery phase where we learn about your business, industry, challenges and objectives. We then map the technology solutions that address your specific needs, present a proposal with clear costs and expected outcomes, implement the solution with minimal disruption, and provide ongoing support. Our approach is the same regardless of industry — the difference is in how we tailor the technology to your sector's unique requirements.
Q: Can Altech serve multi-site businesses across different industries?
Yes. Many of our clients operate across multiple sectors or have diverse business units. We design technology solutions that work across different operational environments — for example, a group that runs both schools and hospitality properties, or a manufacturing company with corporate offices and retail outlets. Our turnkey approach is particularly valuable for these clients because one technology partner can manage all their diverse requirements.
Q: How do I get started with a solution for my industry?
Start by exploring the industry page that best matches your business. Each page provides detailed information on the specific solutions, challenges and outcomes relevant to that sector. If you are ready to take the next step, contact us to schedule a complimentary consultation or site visit. We will discuss your specific requirements and outline how we can help your business achieve better outcomes through technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Business Networking
Q: What internet speed does my business actually need?
The right speed depends on the number of concurrent users and the applications you run. As a general guide: 20–50 Mbps for up to 10 users (email and web browsing), 50–100 Mbps for 10–25 users (cloud applications and video calls), and 100–500 Mbps for 25+ users (heavy cloud usage, video conferencing, large file transfers). We recommend a site survey and usage analysis rather than guessing — many businesses pay for more speed than they actually use, while others are bottlenecked without realising it.
Q: Is a single fibre line enough, or do I need a backup connection?
For most South African businesses, a failover connection is strongly recommended. Fibre outages do occur — due to construction damage, cable theft or network faults. An automatic failover to an LTE or wireless backup connection keeps your business operational during outages. The cost of a backup line is typically a fraction of the cost of a few hours of lost productivity. We design failover solutions that switch automatically and seamlessly so your team may not even notice the outage occurred.
Q: What is the difference between a managed and unmanaged network?
An unmanaged network is one where devices are installed and left to run until they break. There is no proactive monitoring, no performance reporting, no firmware updates and no capacity planning. A managed network is continuously monitored, maintained and optimised by a provider like Altech Solutions. We track performance, apply security patches, receive alerts before failures occur and plan upgrades before you outgrow your infrastructure. The small monthly investment in managed services eliminates the unpredictable costs of emergency fixes and downtime.
Q: How do I know if my WiFi is performing well or causing problems?
Common signs of poor WiFi performance include slow data transfers, dropped video calls, buffering when streaming, dead zones in certain areas and complaints from staff or guests. We recommend a professional WiFi site survey that measures signal strength, interference, channel utilisation and coverage gaps across your entire premises. The results often surprise business owners — a few well-placed access points can transform performance, while adding more devices to an already-congested environment can actually make things worse without proper configuration.
Q: Can I use consumer-grade routers for my business network?
We strongly advise against it for any business with more than a handful of users. Consumer-grade equipment is designed for home use with limited devices and light traffic. It typically lacks the security features, management capabilities, reliability and support that businesses require. Enterprise-grade solutions from partners like MikroTik and Ubiquiti are built for continuous operation, offer advanced security features, provide centralised management and come with proper technical support. The price difference is modest compared to the cost of a security breach or extended downtime.
Q: How often should network equipment be replaced or upgraded?
Most enterprise networking equipment has a useful life of 5 to 7 years, after which performance degrades, security updates cease and support from manufacturers ends. We recommend a lifecycle review every 3 years to plan for end-of-life replacements before they become urgent. Factors that may accelerate replacement include business growth (more users and devices), new bandwidth-intensive applications, changes in security requirements or moves to new premises. Planned replacements are far more cost-effective than emergency upgrades.
