Our enterprise pre-fibred buildings solution offers symmetrical, uncontended fibre

SEACOM Business can offer your business world-class internet connectivity through high-speed fibre to the building (FTTB). This link is symmetrical and uncontended due to our streamlined network layout, which also means no delays and a secure connection. Our enterprise pre-fibred buildings packages are also scalable and cloud-ready upon installation. In addition, these solutions come with no data usage limits.

SEACOM Business already has this enterprise pre-fibred buildings offering in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape. Ensure that your business runs smoothly with fast, uncapped and reliable internet through our fibre optic network. We can also offer high-quality voice connections through our own dedicated landline system for big businesses that use call support or telemarketing.

What is symmetrical and uncontended fibre?

Our innovative networks are built on a symmetrical model. What this means is that we use a single central point within a building from which dedicated fibre optic cables run to each office. This means that each client has their very own (uncontended) fibre optic cable that joins to the main line, which allows us to provide scalable backhaul internet at speeds of up to 10Gbps.

Many other internet providers use a shared Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) within a suburb or building. This requires splitters and a more complicated web of fibre connections, which slows down the signal from the computer to the main line due to bandwidth limitations. This also reduces the security of the connection and makes it more difficult to find problems. The symmetrical network system used by SEACOM Business makes it possible to install an active ethernet node at the customer’s office which improves fault finding and the overall service experience.

Additional benefits to our symmetrical pre-fibred buildings networks

Further benefits of our pre-fibred buildings services include the following:

  • Cloud-ready internet - Many business applications are located in remote cloud-based servers. Our expansive local network structure and world-class international connectivity ensure that there are no limits when accessing the cloud.
  • Wireless access points - Leverage your SEACOM Business internet access by incorporating wireless access points in your reception area. This allows your customers to stream content, buffer-free, while they wait to do business with you. These subtle improvements will help you to improve your overall customer experience.
  • Uncapped data - Our high-quality internet has no monthly data cap, which eliminates concerns about out-of-package rates and gives you peace of mind that your internet will not be cut off.
  • Reliable and secure - SEACOM Business has partnered with leading security providers to ensure that our end-to-end solutions are reliable and secure at every level of your company.
