1. Sahannet Cable/Kenstream: |
A leased line provides an industrial strength connection to the Internet. It is permanently and exclusively available for you businesses’ use. It is the most consistent and reliable source of Internet connectivity available.
Sahannet uses Telkom Kenya (Kenstream) to offer terrestrial links services via our nearest point of presence (POP) and your network. Telkom Kenya will install your leased line, which will connect your business to the Internet through Sahannet’s multi protocol switching backbone.
What does this mean for you? |
- Fast, easy, reliable and secure Internet access 24/7, using the most sophisticated wired technology available.
- No need to dial in to access the Internet or email.
- Access to real-time services and applications for all users on your network.
- A range of options to customize Internet access for your business such as ISDN back-up; content filtering and after-hours bandwidth (bandwidth burst).
|
Speeds Available
KENSTREAM digital leased line circuits are available at data speeds from 300 bit/s up to 2 x 64kbit/s (128kbit/s) over ordinary telephone lines using the ISDN 2B+D transmission format.

| 2. Sahannet Wireless |
The wireless Internet is defined by access to the Internet on any wireless device. The wireless Internet encapsulates a variety of wireless Internet access alternatives including wide-area networks (WANs), wireless local area networks (WLANs), and wireless personal area networks (PANs).
SahanNet offers wireless point to point Solutions for short, medium, and long range, solving a wide number of wide area network connectivity challenges. The solutions feature true wireless bridges that can transparently pass all MAC addresses from one point to the other. These flexible systems provide reliable, high-bandwidth connections for a variety of corporate end-users and small branch offices.
What does this mean for you? |
-
Wireless enables a fully comprehensive access technology portfolio to work with existing customer network.
-
The wireless system will carry Voice and data across geographical areas that are prohibitive in terms of distance, cost, and access.
-
Companies can generate revenue in less time through the deployment of wireless solutions than with comparable access technologies because a wireless system can be assembled and brought online in 5 working days.

3. Fibre Optics: |
Optical Fibres are fibres of glass, which are used to carry signals in the form of pulses of light over distances up to 50 km without the need for repeaters. These signals may be coded voice communications or computer data. |
| Advantages of Fiber Optics |
| Why are fiber-optic systems revolutionizing telecommunications? Compared to conventional metal wire (copper wire), optical fibers are: |
- Less expensive - Several miles of optical cable can be made cheaper than equivalent lengths of copper wire. This saves your provider (cable TV, Internet) and you money.
- Thinner - Optical fibers can be drawn to smaller diameters than copper wire.
- Higher carrying capacity - Because optical fibers are thinner than copper wires, more fibers can be bundled into a given-diameter cable than copper wires. This allows more phone lines to go over the same cable or more channels to come through the cable.
- Less signal degradation - The loss of signal in optical fiber is less than in copper wire.
- Light signals - Unlike electrical signals in copper wires, light signals from one fiber do not interfere with those of other fibers in the same cable. This means clearer phone conversations or TV reception. Different frequencies can be assigned.
- Low power - Because signals in optical fibers degrade less, lower-power transmitters can be used instead of the high-voltage electrical transmitters needed for copper wires. Again, this saves your provider and you money.
- Digital signals - Optical fibers are ideally suited for carrying digital information, which is especially useful in computer networks.
- Non-flammable - Because no electricity is passed through optical fibers, there is no fire hazard.
- Lightweight - An optical cable weighs less than a comparable copper wire cable. Fiber-optic cables take up less space in the ground.
- Flexible - Because fiber optics are so flexible and can transmit and receive light, they are used in many flexible digital cameras for the following purposes:
|
- Medical imaging - in bronchoscopes
- Mechanical imaging - inspecting mechanical welds in pipes and engines (in airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, cars)
- Plumbing - to inspect sewer lines
|
Because of these advantages, you see fiber optics in many industries, most notably telecommunications and computer networks.
We are glad to inform our clients that Sahannet computer data backbone is implemented on a fibre optics network. Therefore, enabling us to offer to our clients very fast and efficient Internet services. |
