  • The Electronic Repairs division consists of two of the most advanced, well equipped and sophisticated electronic workshops in the World which are based in Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa as well as branch offices in Kwazulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape and Western Cape.

  • Each of these repair facilities are able to handle the throughput of thousands of boards per day down to the repair of individual complex boards, including multi layered, surface mount technology. We also have a number of 1st line support and receipt, dispatch and screening centers around South Africa, Europe and the USA to ensure world beating Turn Around Times. A screening function is also offered By Molapo, where by items can be checked and verified for warranty status etc before being sent in for repair.
  • Our division in the UK which comprises a workshop (screening and first line repairs), warehousing and offices for our European customers such as T Mobile & Orange, (merged as Everything Everywhere), Deutsche Telecoms and Ericsson. All repairs for these customers are done at our workshops in South Africa.
  • We have marketing offices in USA which manage our relationships with our key customers in North America such as AT&T
  • We operate extensively in Africa and repair equipment for operators in Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland, Lesotho, Malawi, Nigeria and Zambia.
  • We have acquired the intellectual property for a number of older technologies such as the the P-Com division of Wave Wireless and hold all the intellectual property rights to this equipment.




As the world enters a new decade, the traditional technologies continue to power a substantial proportion of operator revenues, and, contrary to earlier analyst predictions, will continue to play a significant role out to 2015 and beyond.

This inescapable fact of life sits uncomfortably with the dramatically reduced support capability of the traditional vendors. The resulting combination of extended working life and reduced and more expensive support has significantly raised the risk exposure of many operators. Molapo can help to mitigate the risks and costs associated with sustaining traditional technologies in many ways.

Fast and flexible board repair service at a substantial discount to original vendor pricing. Tailored "sustain support" programmes that do just that — provide an operator with just what is needed to sustain traditional technologies for a further number of years — a service that is increasingly either not available at all from original equipment vendors as they "end of life" systems, or is available but at increasingly uneconomic pricing.
