Company Profile

Powering Resilient Industrial Networks

Since 1997, Throughput Technologies has specialised in industrial data communications, supporting automation, utilities, transportation, mining, and manufacturing sectors across southern Africa.

The company represents and supplies a curated portfolio of industrial networking technologies designed for demanding operational environments. Throughput works primarily with system integrators, engineering firms, product procurement personnel and specialist technology providers who deploy, install, and support these solutions directly for end users.

Who We Are

Throughput Technologies operates as a B2B technology partner and distributor, representing a select group of global manufacturers whose platforms set the benchmark for industrial networking, OT cybersecurity, protocol integration, and reliable data communications.

Rather than performing field installation, Throughput focuses on enabling the organisations that do. System integrators, OEMs, and engineering teams rely on Throughput for technology selection, architectural guidance, and access to proven industrial communication platforms suited to harsh and mission-critical environments.

Throughput’s role is to connect the right technologies with the right engineering teams - ensuring that industrial networks built by its partners achieve predictable performance, long operational life, and compliance with recognised industry standards.

Operating across Southern and Sub-Saharan Africa, Throughput supplies and supports technologies that link dissimilar automation systems, bridge legacy and modern protocols, and enable resilient industrial communications infrastructures.

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.

  • Secomea – Secure remote access platforms purpose-built for operational technology environments.
  • FlexDSL – ong-distance Ethernet and DSL connectivity over existing copper infrastructure.
  • Micromedia ALERT – Alarm management and escalation platforms ensuring human response to critical events.

Together these technologies support reliable communication across industrial networks while meeting recognised international standards for operational performance and resilience.

How Throughput Works

Throughput operates from Gauteng, supporting system integrators, engineering firms, and industrial operators across South Africa and the broader SADC region.

The company supplies and promotes specialised industrial communication technologies while providing technical insight that helps intermediary partners select the right solutions for demanding environments. Installation, integration, and field support remain the responsibility of those engineering partners.

This model ensures that projects combine proven technologies with teams that deliver on-site implementation and long-term operational support.

Why Organisations Work With Throughput

For nearly three decades Throughput Technologies has supported industrial communication projects across infrastructure sectors where reliability, interoperability, and lifecycle continuity are essential.

Engineering teams rely on Throughput for access to proven technologies, structured technical information, and supplier platforms designed for long-term industrial operation.

When infrastructure depends on reliable communication, selecting the right technology architecture becomes critical.

Throughput exists to support that decision.
