The business world runs on internet connectivity. Give your business the best possible connectivity available – fiber connectivity.

Empowering Your Employees

Fiber connectivity can improve your employees’ work experience on everything from access to everyday applications, improved video and teleconferencing and working outside of the office. Fiber connectivity provides symmetric upload and download times, which allows users to accommodate heavy simultaneous demands via their data connection. Drive your business forward by empowering your employees to work more efficiently.

Securing Your Business

Fiber connectivity provides a level of security that traditional internet can’t match – and because it puts your electronics and hardware in a secure central location, fiber connectivity can be a powerful tool for increasing protections against cyber-crime.

Fiber Capabilities

STE has been building fiber plants for nearly 20 years, including All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) fiber (common in fiber-to-the-premises systems), fiber interconnects, system upgrades and new system construction. Our fiber teams are consistently recognized as among the highest quality in the industry, due to extensive experience, thorough training programs, stringent hiring practices, a culture of safety and formalized quality control programs. Our engineers have demonstrated expertise in all segments of the telecommunications industry, including design, engineering, construction and operations of fiber optic networks across the Middle-East and Africa.
