Project description

Installation of WAN, MAN, LAN, and video conferencing networks.

Project detail

This project involved installation of LANs which connect four adjacent buildings. Three of the buildings were wired using U.T.P Cat6 cables while the fourth building was wired up to the desktop using fiber optic only. This project is the first to introduce wall to desktop fiber connections in Sudan. The project was executed by the help of a foreign supervisor and using the Datanet's own staff. In this phase the four buildings were connected with fiber optic to form an MAN and then they are connected to the DataCloud to form a WAN which in turn connects the MAN with many states all over Sudan.

Comments

This is one of Datanet's outstanding projects because of the speed with which the first phase of the project was executed. In the first phase a fiber optic local network to connect the council building was installed. The LAN work involved supply of the equipments, connection of 270 nodes and installation and testing of the whole network.  The first phase was completed in 22 days.
