In 2019, rain launched South Africa’s most advanced 5G network. Now they’re redefining connectivity with a range of purpose-built hardware products.
rain designed South Africa’s first data-only network at a time when the industry was still built around voice. Now they’re turning their attention to engineering 5G-enabled hardware, partnering with Loop Design Lab, an industry-leading team of engineers and designers who, like rain, believe the world should connect beautifully.
rain’s suite of 5G products doesn’t just deliver unlimited connectivity; it challenges the idea of how a network device should look, feel and work.
