Data & Voice Projects

1. ActewAGL Greenway Depot Cabling, Server Room and communications backbone upgrade and cut-over

Ecowise successfully re-cabled the entire ActewAGL southern services depot after hours while maintaining working services over a 3 month period. The upgrade consisted of a new cable pathways and Cat 5e copper, multimode and singlemode fibre cabling and to remove redundant Cat3, coax and poorly installed cabling to bring the depot up to today's standards.

2. TransAct

Ecowise is situated at the premium end of the structured cabling industry (holding ISO 9001-2000 and many premium quality clients).

In particular, Ecowise specialises in the Inter-office, backbone and Dark Fibre fields, (we are arguably the dominant Dark-Fibre contractor in the ACT.

One novel project Ecowise has been involved in is the TransAct rollout. This is an optic fibre/UTP hybrid broadband network initially planned for the ACT, serving telephony, high speed data and Video On Demand.

Ecowise did all broadband and narrowband nodal boxes throughout the prototype phase. Ecowise was then contracted to establish nodes throughout the later phases, as well as large numbers of final customer connections (Residential and Commercial).

During January and February 2003 Ecowise was instrumental in the rebuilding of TransAct's fire affected network. This included repairing and replacing of optical fibre and copper services in some of the worst affected areas in a professional and timely manner. Our personnel involved made the job easier by having an understanding of TransAct's network from the hub to the home.

3. Centrelink Dark Fibre installation

The majority of Commonwealth Departments have had their ACT offices interconnected via a series of Dark Fibre networks.

As an example, one segment of this network was constructed for Centrelink.

Ecowise Services installed approximately 100km of singlemode optical fibre for Centrelink over a 3 month period, including sub-duct installation, fibre jointing, termination and testing. Some work was conducted out of hours in sensitive areas that are mission critical, and no down time occurred during these phases of the project.

This type of premium quality work is only possible through experienced personnel and possessing all of the best equipment for the job.

At Ecowise we possess our own major equipment, such as zero-tension winch, fibre blower, self loading cable jinker, several OTDR's & fusion splicers, Powermeter and light source, fibre traffic identifiers, DSL analyser, TDR and DSP 4300 LAN Cablemeter. This makes us one of very few providers in the region that can provide full 24/7 emergency service for mission critical clients.

Ecowise are leaders in the ACT for construction of large fibre optic networks. Our philosophy is that you get what you pay for, consequently at Ecowise you can be assured that we represent true value for money.
