Inside Our 10G Metro Fiber Core & Carrier-Grade Wireless Architecture

Modern broadband delivery requires both raw optical capacity and agile last-mile accessibility. At YouBroadband, our primary infrastructure is built on a high-capacity 10G-capable optical fiber metro backbone ring traversing Nairobi West with direct local peering at the Kenya Internet Exchange Point (KIXP).

The 10G Optical Fiber Core

Our core ring topology utilizes G.652D single-mode optical fiber with automated ring redundancy. Optical signals are routed through high-density Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs) and carrier routing engines, ensuring sub-3ms domestic latency to local content delivery networks.

Carrier-Grade Wireless Delivery: Cambium & Ubiquiti

While our core backbone is 100% optical fiber, physical trenching through rocky terrain, paved roads, and densely built commercial buildings is not always immediately feasible. To ensure universal broadband access without months of civil construction delays, we integrate carrier-grade wireless delivery technologies.

We deploy Cambium Networks ePMP Force 300 and Force 200 parabolic subscriber modules featuring proprietary MAC protocols that dynamically filter RF interference. In high-density urban corridors, Ubiquiti airMAX AC and 60GHz Wave links provide multi-hundred-megabit wireless pipes directly into enterprise and institution rooftops.

Hybrid Resilience: Fiber Primary + Wireless Failover

For financial institutions, hospitals, and busy corporate offices, downtime is unacceptable. Our hybrid network designs provide automatic BGP failover: primary optical fiber underground and an overhead microwave link aligned to our carrier towers. If construction crews cut a physical fiber cable, traffic automatically reroutes over wireless in milliseconds.
