WAPA
The Wireless Access Providers’ Association (WAPA),
established in 2006, is a non-profit IRB (industry representative
body) acting as a collective voice for independent wireless
operators in South Africa.
WAPA’s primary objective is to ensure the sustainability
of the wireless access services market.
WAPA facilitates self-regulation of the outdoor fixed
wireless and indoor nomadic wireless industries. WAPA
is positioned to be an interface between the government
regulator (ICASA), network operators, service providers
and consumers.
WAPA’s membership is differentiated from other wireless
providers by their focus on using open standard wireless
technologies (Wifi). WAPA offers its members regulatory
advice, a code of conduct, an enforcement process and
a forum for sharing knowledge and resolving technical
problems.
