As dealers of Telecoms equipment and services we are developing a wide range of services for the fiber-optic network. The current service bouquet includes Internet Access, Virtual Private Networks, Point-to-Point links and disaster recovery links. These services are available nationally and internationally with a wide range of options covering Connection Speed, Contention Ratio and Service Level. Services are fully managed according to the SLA with penalties for non performance and monthly reports.

Crestrock is in a unique position to integrate satellite and fiber-optic technology to provide seamless solutions for customers with sites in challenging locations. Main sites can be covered by fiber-optic with the remote sites being covered by VSAT in one integrated offering.

The introduction of Gigabit Passive Optic Network equipment in several large cities in the sub-continent by Crestrock is enhancing the user experience whilst reducing costs. This system overcomes challenges in the last mile between the network core and the customer with ultra-high speed capabilities and low-cost modems whilst supporting end-to-end management of the services.

BENEFITS OF FIBRE OPTIC TRANSMISSION
Fiber optic cables offer extremely high bandwidth and do not suffer from fading and noise due to weather conditions like radio systems do. This means that the services carried on the fiber offer more bandwidth, are more reliable, offer better quality and the lowest latency. These features ensure that the services offered satisfy the most discerning customers. Fiber systems are expensive to deploy and maintain however prices fall dramatically as the user base grows. There is a world wide price reduction trend which will become evident in African networks in the near future once the user base begins to grow.
