Fibre path diversity and physical security

Unique to SPTel, our business internet service runs on a fibre cable network that we own and manage. By laying our cables along the nation’s power grid, we ensure that our network pathways are separate and unique from existing telco infrastructure. This extends even to our fibre termination points within buildings. Instead of entering buildings from the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) room like other providers, our fibre cables enter through the building’s substation/switch room and directly to our customers’ offices. By owning our own fibre network, we do not need to rely on a single exchange and can provide exchange diversity, so your network traffic can be quickly and automatically re-routed via the next available exchange.

An added benefit of laying our fibre cable alongside power cables is that we enjoy the same physical protections. Critical infrastructure such as powerlines are protected with a concrete casing at key areas and are buried much deeper than ordinary fibre cables. This greatly reduces the chance of disruptions to your Business Internet service arising from human error or construction work.
