EOH 10Gb/s service goes live
Telecommunications company EOH Network Solutions on Tuesday said its 10 Gb/s service was set to go live over the recently deployed Fibreco network between Gauteng and Cape Town.
The EOH subsidiary said the additional capacity on the link would support new initiatives and drive some of EOH’s products in the market, such as national replication between data centres, cloud service delivery to Cape Town and national backhaul of SAT 3 capacity.
The group noted that some of their larger enterprise clients would also extend their local-area networks (LANs) using the virtual private LAN service between Johannesburg and Cape Town at synchronous transport module level 1, which had a bit rate of 155 Mb/s.
However, as Fibreco’s recent entry left EOH “cautiously optimistic” on how the network could be incorporated into the group’s product offerings, EOH would use it as a secondary route, maintaining its current primary national services route with Telkom, EOH Network Division business unit manager Stuart Hardy explained.
“Telkom’s national fibre network, for me, still represents the highest level of quality and engineering available on national routes in South Africa. And while it comes at a premium, it allows us to feel confident around national service delivery,” he said.
