ABOUT FIBREHOODS

RMBD HOLDINGS

RMBD Holdings is an investment holding company with various investments in the security sector, with CSS Tactical being the most prominent. CSS Tactical began as a community initiative that was effective beyond the expectations of the founding community. Part of the success of the initiative was a clear understanding of South African security conditions through the eyes of South Africans. Another factor was the successful integration from the outset, of technology and manpower.

WATERFALL ACCESS NETWORK (WAN)

WIC is an investment holding company with a variety of property and technology related holdings and partnerships. In the fibre arena, WIC owns and operates long haul fibre networks and has a joint venture, Waterfall Access Networks (WAN), which owns and operates one of the largest existing Fibre To The Home networks in South Africa. WAN owns and operates an open access, GPON, FTTH network across Waterfall Estate, with 3500 stands currently connected. The network is built to cater for in excess of 7000 homes and numerous other high capacity applications for the fibre network infrastructure Reference Koogern Govender – 084 787 0786

Fibrehoods is the first private company to deploy an aerial fibre network in established residential suburbs in South Africa. Fibrehoods is currently deploying aerial fibre networks in the following areas: • Athol • Inanda • Illovo • Winston Ridge • Elton Hill • Craighall • Craighall Park Over and above the Fibrehoods experience through its current deployment, WIC currently operates amongst the largest FTTH networks in South Africa through its investment in the Waterfall Access Network (WAN).

FTTH EXPERIENCE

FIBRE NETWORK DESIGN

• GPON Open Access

• Managed Layer 2 Service

• Aerial Network

• Network speed - 100 Mbit/s

FIBRE NETWORK DESIGN

WHY G.P. O.N RATHER THAN ACTIVE ETHERNET?

Operational Rationale • Passive equipment failures rare • Less space required for equipment at aggregation nodes • No backhaul requirement (large ISP’s require flexibility

of choosing own backhaul route) 100 Mbit/s speeds in phase one • Phase one 100 Mbit/s line speed met • Ability to upgrade line to 1Gbit/s

WHY G.P. O.N RATHER THAN ACTIVE ETHERNET?

• Implemented by the world’s largest companies including Google, AT&T and Vodafone.

• Active/P2P Ethernet is superior in terms of delivering dedicated, symmetric bandwidth, but the reality is that very few end users are going to utilize a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet port, especially on a “24/7/365” basis. Simply put, dedicating a GigE port to each user is not only extremely expensive, but vastly underutilized in terms of traffic throughput, even for heavy users.

• Provides operators with a more cost-effective approach to delivering 100Mbit/s services.

AERIAL NETWORK SPEED TO DEPLOY • Faster from start to finish assuming existing infrastructure for > 60% of the

build

LESS COMMUNITY DISRUPTION • Roads, driveways and intersections

LOWER RISK OF INTERFERENCE & VANDALISM • Assuming light pole deployment, only City Power operate on the underlying

infrastructure • Security cameras protect the deployment

EASE OF MAINTENANCE • Visible and accessible for fault detection and repair

CAPEX DIFFERENTIAL • 50% less costly- R500/m v R250/m

30 year contract with COJ to manage cell masts and related infrastructure on all COJ land and buildings Includes fibre and covers all COJ entities

Special dispensation to deploy aerial fibre on City Power infrastructure (letters per area) Trade exchange basis for cable security service

10 year lease with Fibrehoods Utilization of City Power Infrastructure to deploy fibre Monthly rental payable

Cession and assignment of CSS permission to utilize City Power Infrastructure

AERIAL NETWORK - PERMISSIONS

AERIAL NETWORK - PERMISSIONS & REGULATORY

• Fibrehoods is a licensed ECNS operator

• CSS Tactical has received permissions from City Power to utilise its infrastructure in specific pre-defined suburbs to run its camera network in exchange for protection of its infrastructure. These areas include the two pilot areas. These permissions will be ceded and assigned to Fibrehoods

• Altivex – In terms of a public tender process (RFP no. 01/2013) undertaken by the City of Joburg (COJ), Altivex is the duly appointed managing agent and transaction advisor in respect of all cell masts and related infrastructure located on City Of Joburg land or assets. Related infrastructure includes City Power poles on which Fibrehoods fibre will run.

• Altivex has signed a 10 year lease with Fibrehoods for the ultization of City Power infrastructure in the pilot areas.

NETWORK DESIGN – HOME CONNECTION

• Fibre Backbone network (run from City Power poles) is designed in such a way that the connection will take place from poles from the front of a property. The front access will take place from a combination of City Powers poles as well as wooden poles installed by Fibrehoods.

FIBRE NETWORK SPECIFICATIONS

NETWORK SPEED

• The network will have the ability to provide the following speeds to every home within the suburbs 100Mbps – downstream 50Mbps – upstream

• The Network has the ability to be upgraded in order to

provide faster speeds.

PRICING

LINE RENTAL • Fibrehoods charges a standard line rental of R350 pm

• No additional charges are incurred by ISP’s

INSTALLATION • Currently in discussions with large ISP’s to convert users at

no cost to the residents.

COMMON CONCERNS

CPE DEVICE

• The CPE is a device known as the ONT and has 2 x POTS ports (telephone jacks) and 4 x GbE ports (Gigabit Ethernet LAN). It is recommended that the ONT be mounted against the wall in close proximity to the fibre termination box and out of harms way.

• The resident may connect his / her computer directly to one of these GbE ports, while some residents may choose to connect a wireless access point (AP) to one of these GbE ports.

REDUNDANCY

• Fibrehoods have allowed for redundancy for the fibre backhaul as indicated in the relevant diagram (also per the slide below) submitted along with our initial response. Breaks other than on the backhaul will affect specific areas only depending on the network layout and will require a maintenance team to repair.

REDUNDANCY

TIMELINES

• Material procurement - 4-7 weeks

• Roll-out - 16-20 weeks

• Distribution and Drop (Home Connection) – 3 months (taking place simultaneously with distribution)
