JC Broadband™ Fibre Optic Network Design and Consulting

There is widespread shortage of high capacity connectivity in all segments of the African continent, limiting data and voice transfers and therefore hampering the economic benefits derived from new technological applications.
JC Broadband supports the bridging of the digital divide by providing network design and consulting to African telecommunication operators and other service providers. We provide a wide range of services including network design for long haul fibre networks (city to city), metropolitan networks, access networks – including fiber to the premises – and premises networks. We have experience with all types of fibre used in terrestrial networks which include standard single mode fibre (ITU-T G.652), non-zero dispersion shifted fibre (ITU-T G.655 and G.656) and multimode fibre (ITU-T G.651). Other services include feasibility studies and specification preparation for bids and RFPs.
Our approach and methodologies are founded on extensive technical expertise and significant real-world experience. Partnering with JC Broadband can help the customer plan for optimal network performance throughout the ³ 25 year network life time.  More importantly, we are African and we are driven by the passion to transform Africa into economies that we can be proud of.
