Networking hardware supplies

Core to edge. Sourced, supplied, deployed.

Routers, switches, servers, PON and fibre — from the brands operators actually run, procured through supplier relationships we have already built, and installed by the team that will support it afterwards.

Right part, first time

Our consultants specify the equipment before you buy it, so the box that arrives is the one the design actually needs.

Sourcing that lands

An established supplier network means timely delivery and cost-effective procurement, not a quote that expires before stock appears.

Installed, not just shipped

We rack, configure and commission — MikroTik, VPN, routing and OLT provisioning included.

Supported afterwards

The team that deployed it is the team that monitors it. Remote diagnostics, patching and proactive maintenance.

01 — Core network

Core routers & switches.

The equipment your whole network depends on — specified for the throughput, port density and redundancy your traffic profile actually calls for.

Core and edge routers, aggregation and access switches, and the optics to connect them. We supply across the vendors operators in this region standardise on, so you are not forced onto a single platform.

  • MikroTik
  • Huawei
  • Juniper
  • Cisco
  • Tejas

Routing, VPN and MikroTik configuration services are available alongside supply — see server & network management.

Rack server — hot-swap bays, redundant power, out-of-band management
02 — Compute

Servers.

Rack and tower servers for virtualisation, databases, billing platforms and everything else that has to stay up.

Specified around the workload rather than a catalogue line: CPU and memory sized to the application, storage sized to the retention you actually need, and redundancy where downtime would cost you.

  • HP
  • Huawei
  • Dell
  • Lenovo

Prefer not to own the hardware? We also run managed cloud servers and storage.

03 — PON / FTTH

OLTs, ONUs & OLT cards.

Everything the passive optical side of an FTTH build needs — chassis and pizza-box OLTs, the line cards that populate them, and the ONUs that terminate at the subscriber.

  • OLTs — chassis and fixed-configuration, sized to your port count and growth plan
  • OLT cards — PON line cards, uplink cards and control cards for expansion or spares
  • ONUs — subscriber terminals for residential and business connections
  • VSOL
  • Huawei
  • ZTE

Provisioning and OLT management are part of the deployment, not a separate project.

Chassis OLT populated with three PON line cards, an uplink card with 10 and 40 gigabit optics, a control card and two redundant power supply modules
Chassis OLT — PON line cards, redundant uplink and control, dual PSU

We are building our own ONU. The ACS FiberBox X1 is a premium low-profile desktop ONU currently in development — Wi-Fi 5, SC optical, dual Gigabit LAN and USB-C power. See the concept specification.

04 — Cable & passive

Fibre optic and communication cable.

Aerial, underground and in-building — supplied by the drum and specified for the span, the environment and the load it has to survive.

Cross-section of ADSS cable showing black PE outer sheath, yellow aramid yarn strength layer, inner sheath, and six loose tubes of coloured fibres stranded around a central FRP strength member

ADSS

All-dielectric self-supporting. Long aerial spans with no metallic element — safe alongside power lines.

Cross-section of a figure-8 self-supporting drop cable showing a steel messenger wire joined by a web to a flat body carrying one fibre between two strength members

Drop cable

Figure-8 and flat FTTH drops for the last span into the subscriber premises.

Cross-section of OPGW optical ground wire showing a central stainless steel tube of fibres in gel surrounded by two stranded layers of aluminium-clad steel wires

OPGW

Optical ground wire for transmission infrastructure — earthing and fibre in a single stranded cable.

Cross-section of CAT6 cable showing four twisted pairs in blue, orange, green and brown separated by a cross-shaped spline inside a PVC jacket

CAT6

Structured cabling for in-building runs, racks and horizontal distribution.

Also supplied

  • Communication cables
  • Patch cords & pigtails
  • Splice closures & ODFs
  • Splitters & distribution boxes
  • Splicing tools & consumables
  • Poles, clamps & aerial hardware

Not sure what the route needs?

Span length, terrain, existing infrastructure and environmental conditions all change which cable is right — and getting it wrong is expensive to undo. Our consultancy team surveys the route first and specifies from the survey.

Site survey & feasibility
05 — Customer premises

CPE & subscriber equipment.

The equipment that ends up in your customer’s home or office — where the quality of your network is actually judged.

Alongside the ONUs we supply from VSOL, Huawei and ZTE, we are developing our own: the ACS FiberBox X1, a low-profile desktop ONU built for modern FTTH deployments.
