Infastructure Management

FCC provides a dynamic advisory service amongst others to property owners, tenants and internet service providers. Infrastructure connectivity is provided to enable true Open Access Network services to both ISP’s and end users/tenants in terms of a Single Trench Policy.

True Open Access involves choice of Backhaul Suppliers

FiberCom Connect (FCC) acts as an impartial intermediary between Backhaul Suppliers and Internet Service Providers (ISPs), understanding their needs, overseeing operational activities, and ensuring genuine open access to the permanent property infrastructure. A key aspect of genuine open access involves ISPs having the freedom to select the most optimal and cost-efficient Backhaul Supplier for their end users (tenants). The availability of multiple Backhaul Suppliers encourages competition, provides backup options, and introduces competitive service packages with different speeds to the market.

Additionally, end users (tenants) enjoy the advantage of choosing between ISPs when these providers have the option to select from various Backhaul Suppliers at the property.

Fibre Infrastructure Management through the Single Trench Policy

Our objective is to encourage the installation of permanent fibre infrastructure in properties to prevent duplication at any given time. This infrastructure is then administered on an open-access basis, ensuring equal access for all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to utilize such infrastructure.

Advantages of the Single Trench Policy comprise:

  • Safeguarding property infrastructure and utilities.
  • Enhancing consistency in swift deployment.
  • Mitigating security risks, including cyber-security.
  • Reducing the occurrence of unused and duplicated fibre infrastructures.
  • Lowering overall costs for Network Operators in deploying infrastructure.
  • Managing telecoms and related infrastructure as a third utility through the record-keeping of infrastructure installed as part of the policy.

Cyber Security:

Organisations will persist in encountering new security threats arising from susceptible and compromised infrastructures, often found in unregulated environments.

Enforcing the Single Trench Policy leads to a regulated environment among the pertinent stakeholders.

The permanent installation of fibre infrastructure establishes a more regulated setting. Access to Telecommunications (Telco) rooms and nodes is regulated.
