NETWORKING
We provide 100Mb or 1Gb fibre or copper to residential blocks or developments.
Have you been considering handling your own telephony and internet access in your block of flats or secure development?
We can provide 100Mb or 1Gb fibre or copper to each unit in your complex. We can furthermore hardwire each unit or even install a small wireless access point in each unit - depending on the occupant's needs. The complex can then connect to the internet using either dedicated satellite bandwidth or shaped terestrial bandwidth. Telephone calls can be handled using our VOIP products.
Typical installations consist of redundant high speed connections to our network that terminate onto a fibe optic backbone running to cabinets located at strategic positions with the complex. We then run UTP or STP cables into each unit.
We have found that most complexes have intercom or telephone ducting in place. By using this ducting, entire complexes can be cabled in a matter of days with minimum trench digging expense or disruption.
Below are examples of a wall mounted cabinet and a redundant UTP connection in a unit.
Our Cabling FAQ covers further aspects of this service.
