Company Profile

Powering Resilient Industrial Networks

Since 1997, Throughput Technologies has served as a specialist advisor and distributor of industrial data communication technologies for automation, utilities, transportation, and manufacturing sectors across Southern Africa.

Our purpose is simple - to help organisations design and maintain reliable, standards-compliant, and future-ready communication networks that perform predictably under real-world industrial conditions.

Who We Are

Throughput Technologies is a B2B advisory company, representing a select group of global manufacturers whose products define the benchmark for industrial networking, cybersecurity, and data integrity.

We do not install or integrate control systems; instead, we guide system integrators, OEMs, and plant operators in choosing the right communication architecture for their environment - from harsh mining sites to critical substations and transport networks.

Our strength lies in technical insight and product alignment, ensuring every system designed with our support achieves maximum reliability, compliance, and lifecycle continuity.

Throughput Technologies primarily serves as a specialist advisor and distributor of industrial data communication products and solutions across Southern and Subsaharan Africa, also extending into other African countries. We guide system integrators and plant operators in selecting the correct communication architecture but do not provide installation or integration services themselves.

The company offers a range of services and products designed to link dissimilar automation devices and ensure reliable, secure industrial networks.

Core Services and Solutions Offered:

  • Industrial Protocol Solutions: Providing specialty modules and gateways that link different automation products (e.g., Modbus, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP) seamlessly as if they were from the same supplier.
  • Wireless & Remote Access Solutions: Designing and supplying dedicated radio technologies for harsh industrial environments, as well as secure remote access and industrial cybersecurity solutions for monitoring and control systems over wide area networks (WANs).
  • Legacy System Integration: Offering solutions, such as those using SHDSL and FSK technology, to utilize existing or legacy copper wiring over long distances and integrate older equipment into modern IP-enabled networks.
  • IIoT and Edge Computing: Providing Industrial IoT (IIoT) and edge computing platforms, including rugged industrial PCs and gateways that enable on-site data processing, AI-enabled analytics, and secure cloud connectivity.
  • Technical Advisory & Support: Offering specialist technical advice, training, video tutorials, and documentation to help clients design and maintain reliable, standards-compliant networks.
  • Product Distribution: Distributing products from global manufacturers like Westermo, ProSoft Technology, Secomea, and Welotec, ensuring high-quality, field-proven equipment is available to the Southern African market.

Throughput Technologies primarily focuses on the Rail & Trackside, Energy, Fire & Security, Utilities, Smart Infrastructure, Mining, and Manufacturing sectors.

Our Partners

We proudly represent globally trusted suppliers whose research, engineering, and field performance have shaped the modern Industrial Data Communications landscape:

  • Westermo – Ruggedised Ethernet and serial networking for mission-critical infrastructure.
  • Welotec – Industrial IoT and edge computing platforms for automation and utilities.
  • ProSoft Technology – Protocol conversion and industrial wireless connectivity.
  • ATOP Technologies – High-performance Ethernet, serial, and fibre solutions for data resilience.
  • Secomea – Secure remote access and industrial cybersecurity solutions.

These partnerships allow Throughput to provide vendor-backed solutions that meet IEC, EN, and IEEE standards for performance and reliability - while maintaining full independence from system integration work.

How We Operate

From our headquarters in Gauteng, Throughput supports clients across South Africa and the SADC region. Our role is advisory and educational — providing reliable data, structured documentation, and access to supplier technologies that complement our clients’ own engineering services.

Every product we represent is backed by global technical warranties, ongoing firmware support, and lifecycle continuity - essential for industries that depend on 24/7 operation and long-term maintainability.

Why Work With Throughput

For more than two decades, Throughput Technologies has built a reputation for integrity, technical competence, and dependable guidance. Our clients rely on us not as vendors, but as a knowledge partner in industrial networking - the bridge between proven engineering and practical implementation.

We believe in clarity, reliability, and shared success.
