BlueTel Communications — telecoms network implementation contractor
BlueTel Communications was established in 2012 to provide support services to the telecommunications industry itself. Its work is network implementation and maintenance — commissioning optical SDH and DWDM systems, microwave links, fibre splicing and rollout, and multivendor integration — carried out for operators and vendors rather than sold to businesses as a phone or internet service.

The engineering behind other people’s networks
When an operator lights a new DWDM ring, swaps a microwave link or decommissions a legacy Siemens node, somebody has to do the physical and commissioning work. That is BlueTel’s business. The vendor list is the clearest signal of what it is: Coriant, ADVA, Nokia, Huawei, Ceragon and Dragonwave are transmission and backhaul platforms, not products a small business buys. The company positions itself as a managed services partner for fixed and mobile networks in southern Africa, which means a business will only encounter it indirectly, through the operator whose network it maintains. For a phone system or connectivity, compare the verified providers instead.
