Supported Networks

Swift Networks proven capabilities deliver Digital Entertainment Systems (DES) over a variety of network topologies to new Greenfield sites and existing Brownfield camps.

The following table sets out some of Swift Networks extensive capabilities in the configuration, installation and management of supported networks:

Structured Cabling	Network Equipment	Service Level
Optical Fibre	GPON (Passive)	MATV+, RF Overlay, Full IP
Optical Fibre	Point-To-Point (Active)	Full IP
Cat 5/6		Full IP
Cat 3/4 (UTP)	PBN	MATV+, Full IP
Coax	RF	MATV+

Composite networks can also be deployed in expansion projects eliminating the need to replace prevailing infrastructure.

Active Network

Swift Networks DES can be delivered via a point-to-point Active Network including the supply, configuration and installation of all head-end and distribution components.

Due to its exposure to external climatic and environmental conditions, all distribution equipment provided by Swift Networks is fit for purpose and rated to withstand the extreme conditions typical in WA's Pilbara.

The advantage of an Active Network over a Passive Network is the delivery of greater bandwidth per room providing capacity to support additional corporate systems such as access control and smoke detection.

GPON

GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Networking) has traditionally been used in large residential rollouts due to its efficiencies in large density deployments.

Advantages:

• Less fibre cores required
• Quicker deployment due to less fibre termination required
• Passive equipment consumes less power and produces less heat
• Single head-end management, resulting in the ability for unskilled maintenance staff to swap out remote equipment in the event of failure or during rollout

Swift Networks' recommended ONT (Optical Network Termination) equipment is fit for purpose and proven to be resilient under the extreme temperatures of the Pilbara.

PBN

Historically, the existence of a prevailing two-wire copper network has either eliminated the potential to introduce enhanced digital functionality to a site or demanded the significant investment associated with rewiring the structured cabling with fibre.

Alternatively Swift Networks have proven the use of Private Broadband Networks (PBN) infrastructure for existing enterprise WLAN applications given the suitable integrity of the cable network.
