A response to the Constantia Fibre Initiative RFP by: and 2 Company confidential - Frogfoot, LinkAfrica, ConstantiaFibre Joint Venture information Frogfoot Networks (pty) ltd LinkAfrica (pty) ltd http://www.frogfoot.com http://www.linkafrica.co.za/ 021 448 7225 031 569 2544 RFP team: Relationship Manager: Hannes Pieterse RFP team: Relationship Manager: David Ashdown [email protected] 082 334 0474 Operations Director: Yassin Adams [email protected] 082 337 2092 Managing DIrector: Abraham van der Merwe [email protected] 071 453 4918 Network Manager: Andre Hoffmann [email protected] 078 800 2686 National Sales Manager: [email protected] 082 565 4451 Michael Veldhuis [email protected] 083-7776453 CM1 CoR39 CM1 CoR39 3 Company confidential - Frogfoot, LinkAfrica, ConstantiaFibre • Link Africa and Frogfoot Networks have combined resources, skills and experience to bring the best of breed fibre technologies to Constantia home owners; each company focusing on its core competencies. An open access network means any service provider may supply competing services, allowing home owners to choose the best price and service. • Homeowners need to be able to move service providers as more competitive options and technologies become available. Therefore, the best fibre network model for any community rests in a partnership between a Layer 1 and Layer 2 service provider, allowing multiple Layer 3 competing service providers to offer the home owner choices, not just between service providers, but also between services. 4 Company confidential - Frogfoot, LinkAfrica, ConstantiaFibre Our take on what you should ask your Fibre provider: Is the network Open Access? A successful track record with precinct fibre? Able to move quickly & make it work? Technical strength and experience to execute? Financial strength and experience to execute? Choice between ISP’s? Even individual ISP services? Well positioned to enable security services? Well positioned to enable HD entertainment services? 5 Company confidential - Frogfoot, LinkAfrica, ConstantiaFibre Open Access. What it means to us. More competition in the retail ISP market. More sustainable, reliable and cost effective Internet services. Less trenching and disruption for residents. More effective use of resources. More diversity of services to the resident. Better focus on core competencies. 6 Company confidential - Frogfoot, LinkAfrica, ConstantiaFibre Frogfoot’s track record Frogfoot has a proven track record of innovation and solid engineering practice in Internet Services, beginning in 2000 and encompassing ISP, Cloud and Fibre services. Acknowledged in the industry as a technically competent competitor that often boxes above its weight, Frogfoot has delivered precinct fibre to over 30 office parks since 2008. Design of integrated quad play residential fibre networks in two of the biggest residential Cape Town based Estates (www.buhrein.co.za and www.sitari.co.za ) totaling close to 7,000 residential units. Frogfoot have developed the rare competency in designing, deploying, managing and maintaining large scale, highly resilient, Metropolitan Fibre networks in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Frogfoot has experience with enabling value-added security services and home automation over fibre networks, integrating with existing commercial TV sets. Frogfoot’s commercial models are driven by an Open Access philosophy. 7 Company confidential - Frogfoot, LinkAfrica, ConstantiaFibre Link Africa’s track record Link Africa has laid over 1,000km of fibre optic network cable, connected over 500 nodes for telecom clients and has invested over a R130,000,000 in its infrastructure to date. Link Africa is a “carrier of carriers” – it carries the telecommunications traffic of some of SA’s largest telecommunications operators, including Vodacom, MTN, MWeb, Dimension Data’s Internet Solutions and the eThekwini Municipality (which is a large provider of telecommunications services in the city of Durban, with over 1,500 business-users connected to its network). In addition to over 500 mobile cell phone and business premises connected to the LinkAfrica network, it has successfully deployed fibre-to-the-home projects in Mt Edgecombe Golf Estate in Durban – connecting 300-homes. However, in Europe, where fibre-to-the-home is more mature, i3 Group (LinkAfrica’s partner) has deployed fibre-to-the home to over 15 suburbs throughout the United Kingdom. i3 has also successfully deployed fibre-to-thehome in USA (in partnership with Google) and Abu Dhabi. In Cape Town Link Africa successfully completed a Proof of Concept deployment for City of Cape Town in Khayelitsha of 3 km fibre end-to-end installation. 8 Company confidential - Frogfoot, LinkAfrica, ConstantiaFibre Link Africa’s Core Value Proposition • • • • • • Speed of Deployment – The novel deployment methods enabled by the FOCUS™ technology reduces the need for civil construction methods and greatly accelerates the rate at which infrastructure can be deployed. FOCUS™ Backbone and last-mile networks are deployed five times faster than traditional trenching techniques. Least Civil Disruption – The disruption to the City’s residents is kept to a minimum as digging of roads and pavements is minimised using the FOCUS™ methods. Open Access – Link Africa provides each last mile link to the market on an open access basis. This “plug and play” connectivity is attractive to licensed service providers and enables competition, greater choice, and ultimately the consumer benefits from this. Route Redundancy – Link Africa is the only company legally able to offer fibre in sewer and storm water drains. For telecommunications operators, which use these fibre networks at the very heart of their own networks, having route redundancy in sewers gives the telecommunications operator a greater level of assurance of network availability. Superior Network Availability – Link Africa’s network is viewed by its customers as being seven times more reliable than other networks that are deployed using traditional methods. Traditionally deployed networks are most often broken by other utility service providers accidentally damaging infrastructure. However, due to the depth of sewer pipes (1 to 9m below ground level), this is a risk that LinkAfrica has not been exposed to. Low Cost of Deployment – As patent owner of the FOCUS™, Link Africa has the ability to deploy fibre optic networks to the premises at significantly reduced capital cost of deployments using traditional methods. 9 Company confidential - Frogfoot, LinkAfrica, ConstantiaFibre Frogfoot pedigree 2000 Founded: Frogfoot Networks We innovate solutions around customer needs.
