MaGIC SFP speed Test
Solimedia Technology is offering MaGIC SFP for buildings with coaxial cables already installed or for scenarios where the cable length goes well beyond 100m limitation on Ethernet cable. The device integrates with Mikrotik as a plug & play. So just insert it in to SFP cage on any of the Mikrotik routers or switches & you are in business. Don’t forget MaGIC SFP co-exists with DOCSIS (Cable TV) free to air TV etc.
We have speed tested the solution in our lab with almost 1G speed duplex (transmit & receive), However Sarah Kerr of ISP Technology has a very interesting video on cable length & speed test of the MaGIC SFP which I would like to share with you.

Managed VPN services
We are delighted to offer managed Mikrotik VPN services for a subscription to our customers.
Why does anyone need Managed VPN services?
A number of small to medium size enterprises may have satellite offices, outlets, shops or individuals working away from the office. In order for their distributed resources to work together in a single data network; virtualisation of LAN (Local area network) through implementation of VPN (virtual private network) in their office has become standard procedure.
This is perfect for larger companies with an IT department running the infrastructure (including the VPN server) in the background. As we are all aware VPN servers requires management & maintenance.
- VPN server setup.
- VPN server updates.
- Updates in technology & protocol upgrades.
- Maintenance of users.
- Creating new users & update of current user status.
- Maintaining the security of VPN server.
- Update of security protocols & forewalling of VPN server.
- and more…..
Added to the above list they require tangible investment in VPN high availability server hardware, high quality Internet connectivity & UPS (Uninterruptible power supply).
These costs consuming tasks also requires knowledgeable personnel. The total proposition is expensive & hard to assemble. This is specially prohibitive for smaller organizations with limited resources in capital, manpower & most importantly a business which outsource most of their IT work to third party.
