By Vriti Gothi

Liquid Intelligent Technologies (Liquid), a business of Cassava Technologies, has launched its Business Internet Access (BIA) service in South Africa, a addition to its connectivity portfolio designed to accelerate digital transformation for businesses of all sizes.

BIA is a next-generation connectivity solution engineered to deliver cost-effective, enterprise-grade internet access without the cost and complexity typically associated with Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) services. Purpose-built for modern enterprises, the service provides a dedicated, uncontended internet line, ensuring consistent speed for mission-critical operations. This is underpinned by a robust Service Level Agreement (SLA) offering up to 99% uptime, backed by a 24/7/365 helpdesk, ensuring minimal downtime, operational resilience, and peace of mind.

“Connectivity is no longer a luxury for businesses that require reliable, high-speed internet to maintain uninterrupted operations. With the launch of BIA through our connectivity business, Liquid Intelligent Technologies, we’re ensuring that we support South African companies of all sizes to ensure the continuous growth of our economy. This is more than a product launch; it’s yet another milestone achieved to ensure that we leave no South African behind,” said Ziaad Suleman, Chief Executive Officer of Cassava Technologies in South Africa and Botswana.

Recognising the rising cyber security threats in today’s digital economy, Liquid has embedded Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) visibility reporting into every BIA connection. This proactive capability provides real-time insights into potential DDoS attacks, enabling businesses to take timely, informed security measures and strengthen their cyber resilience.

The service is powered by Liquid’s wholly owned and managed fibre network, ensuring scalability, reliability, and high performance. By extending enterprise-grade connectivity to SMEs and large corporates alike, BIA underscores Liquid’s commitment to delivering accessible, future-ready digital infrastructure that fuels business growth and strengthens South Africa’s competitive edge in the global economy.

With this launch, Liquid reinforces its position as a leading technology partner, providing customer-centric, high-performance connectivity solutions that empower businesses to thrive in an increasingly connected world.
