Fibre Optic Cable is a transmission technology which uses light pulses along carefully drawn glass or plastic strands about the diameter of a human hair. This technology was selected and designed to transmit data efficiently due to its ability to reflect light. It delivers high bandwidth, electromagnetic immunity and low signal loss. Fibre optic is used to transmit data, voice and images. The technology does not carry a current making it safer to use as it cannot generate a spark. This efficient technology has in some cases replaced use of technologies like copper. The technology is ideal for areas in close proximity to it, a large amounts of data at high speeds are required for quick decision making, streaming and in applications which require very low latency.

A Microwave system uses a very high frequency radio to transmit data through space. The technology is a line of sight transmission, which means the radios namely transmitter and receiver mounted on high places like towers should be visible to each other. Microwave technology carries large quantities of data at high speed. The technology is used among other things in transmitting data, voice and video. Ideal for remote areas with serious commercial activities which need to be supported by large amounts of data exchanged at high speeds.

A Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) is a satellite solution used in data transmission systems. This technology consists of an Antenna which is installed at the customer site, a transponder in the space and a master earth station. The satellite solution can be installed anywhere as long as there is a line of sight between the transponder and Antenna. The technology is designed to send and receive data, voice and video. Ideal for very remote areas with light to moderate information exchange requirements. Can also support applications with very high latency tolerance levels.
