services, including converged network services.

Scalability: Can be implemented in bandwidth

from 1Mbps to 1Gbps+.

Reliability: The network can quickly detect and

recover from incidents without impacting users

Quality of service: Wide choice of SLAs for end-to-end performance of business and

residential services

Service management: The ability to monitor, diagnose and centrally manage the

network with standards-based systems and operations management.

Version 1


• Microwave is a transmission technology that uses radio signals to carry traffic between

two points along a line-of-site (LOS) radio path.

• The two points are called:

• remote terminal (at the customer site); and

• hub terminal (at the network site).

• MW technologies used: – Point to point

– Point to multipoint

Metro E Fibre

• A feasibility study and site survey must be conducted before a customer is presented with a final

quote for Metro E Solutions

• Standard Metro E Fibre build per site

•Single link – 400m from Vodacom’s access ring to the customer’s computer room where the

Vodacom provided fibre terminating unit will reside

•Dual link – 800m from Vodacom’s access ring to the customer’s computer room where the

Vodacom provided fibre terminating unit will reside

• Distances greater than the above are charged at R500.00 per meter

• Fibre build charges may amortised over 8-years (96-months)

• Additional Fibre Build charges must not be confused with RFO costs within the customer premises or

backhaul.

• Site Requirement Specification are the pertinent items that Vodacom requires a customer to have on

site so that we can deliver the service to them. If these items are not in place, Vodacom will not

deliver the service as we cannot guarantee its performance. Vodacom will quote (SRQ) the customer

to provide and install the relevant items in order to “get the site ready “ for installation. These items

generally become the customers asset therefore the customer is liable for such costs. E.g. Ducting,

air-conditioning, non standard pipes, cable trays, etc. included in new NRC.

• Metro E IPConnect Services – if the customer site is greater than 50km from a Vodacom IP Point of

Presence (POP), additional backhaul charges will be applicable i.e. NLD backhaul, Telkom MetroClear

or Neotel.

• Metro E LANConnect Services – if the customer Site A is greater than 50km from customer site B

additional backhaul charges will apply.

• DFA LOS or BTS lease applies for last mile backhaul where we do not have a fibre ring up to

the curb

• Site Requirement Specification are the pertinent items that Vodacom requires a customer to have on site so that we

can deliver the service to them. If these items are not in place, Vodacom will not deliver the service as we cannot

guarantee its performance. Vodacom will quote (SRQ) the customer to provide and install the relevant items in-order to

“get the site ready “ for installation. These items generally become the customers asset therefore the customer is

liable for such costs. E.g. Ducting, air-conditioning, non standard pipes / poles, cable trays, etc.

• Microwave IPConnect Services – if the customer site is greater than 50km from a Vodacom IP Point of Presence

(POP), additional backhaul charges will be applicable

• Microwave LANConnect Services – if the customer Site A is greater than 50km from customer site B additional

backhaul charges will apply.

• Microwave IPConnect and Microwave LANConnect are strictly provided in the following increments

•1-300Mbps in 1Mbps increments – P2P Microwave

•512Kbps -1Mbps in 64kbps increments, 1Mbps to 5Mbps in 1Mbps increments – P2MP Microwave

• Upgrade of links will also need to follow the above mentioned bandwidth increments

• All bandwidths can be provided on 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 year contract terms.

• The non-recurring fee may not be waivered / discounted under any circumstances for new customers (even if existing

infrastructure is in place) or for a new service for an existing customer.

• Microwave back up link can have single node or Dual node which informs the SLA.

• Microwave back-up link only available for self-provided fibre

• Secondary link for 3rd party access at standard rates

• Microwave as a temporary service to fibre is charged at Fibre rates.
