Why Choose 5th Mountain Networks?
 

A different approach to networking

​

5th Mountain Networks (Pty) Ltd is a value-added ICT company established in 2005, with extensive experience in networking and telecommunications. Our head office is located in Johannesburg, South Africa.

​

We specialise in Managed Secure SD-WAN as a Service.

​

From the outset, our focus has been clear — not to build networks for their own sake, but to deliver meaningful services over them. Having previously operated private networks, we made a deliberate decision to harness established broadband infrastructure and provide intelligent, value-added services over the Internet.

​

Built for the South African environment

​

Through extensive experience delivering services to South African businesses, it became clear that many global telecommunications providers do not fully understand the realities of the local landscape.

​

Their cost structures, hardware models, and licensing approaches often do not align with what is required in practice, making it difficult to deliver effective and sustainable solutions locally.

​

With this understanding, the locally developed MountainBox SD-WAN Firewall was introduced in December 2010 — enabling us to deliver practical, cost-effective, and locally relevant managed broadband services.

​

Focused on outcomes

​

Our Secure SD-WAN service delivers measurable value to our customers:

• Increased uptime
• Reduced spend
• Mobility
• Visibility
• Stronger security

​

An ecosystem approach

​

We deliver services across South Africa through a carefully selected ecosystem of skilled and licensed partners.

This allows us to orchestrate bandwidth and connectivity solutions that are compliant, resilient, and consistently high-performing.

​

Partnership and commitment

​

The strength of 5th Mountain Networks lies in its people — a dedicated team committed to delivering exceptional service and meaningful outcomes.

​

We build tailored solutions and long-term relationships with the organisations we serve.
