Speed & Reliability: Zero lag for cloud apps, VoIP, and CCTV systems.
-
Future-Proofing: Supports 10Gbps+ for AI/ML, IoT, and warehouse automation.
-
Security: Immune to electrical interference or copper tapping.

Can you install fibre between buildings/warehouse zones?
Yes! We deploy outdoor-rated fibre for:
-
Warehouse-to-office links
-
CCTV backbone networks
-
Inter-floor connectivity (no signal loss vs. Wi-Fi).
How disruptive is installation for a working warehouse/office?
We minimise downtime with:
-
Conduit/ceiling routing (no floor trenches).
-
After-hours/ weekend work.
-
Phased rollouts (prioritise critical zones first).
Do we need an ISP for internal fibre networks?
No. Internal fibre (e.g., between switches or servers) is ISP-independent. We design:
-
Private CANs (Corporate Area Networks).
-
Data centre-style cabling (high-density patching).
What’s the cost for a warehouse/office fibre backbone?
Depends on:
-
Distance (e.g., 100m vs. 500m between buildings).
-
Cable type (armoured for warehouses, standard for offices).
-
Hardware (SFP+/10G switches).
Typical range: R15,000 – R80,000 (free quote after site visit).
Can fibre support our warehouse Wi-Fi or CCTV system?
Absolutely. Fibre is ideal for:
-
Wi-Fi 6/7 access point backhaul.

Small office (1 floor): 1–2 days.
-
Warehouse (50,000 sq ft): 3–5 days.
Expedited slots are available.
What’s the lifespan of fibre optic cabling?

Yes! 24/7 emergency repairs and:
-
OTDR testing (locate breaks instantly).
