Drop-offs

Drop-offs

A drop-off is the connection point where the main network line terminates and your office, building or device joins the network. NITA-U installs and manages dedicated drop-offs so that individual users, sites and equipment get efficient, reliable connectivity onto the National Backbone Infrastructure without each entity having to build its own last-mile link.

What is included

  • Survey of the site and the nearest available termination point
  • Installation of the drop-off and terminating equipment
  • Connection onto the National Backbone Infrastructure
  • Ongoing monitoring and fault resolution by the NITA-U service desk

Who it is for

Ministries, Departments, Agencies and Local Governments that need connectivity extended to a specific site, office or device.

Cost

This is a billable service. Contact NITA-U for a quotation based on distance, terrain and the equipment required.
