Tektraco is actively involved in a significant infrastructure project in Malta, focusing on the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of fiber optic cables between the south of Marsa and Kirkop. This work is part of a larger initiative by Enemalta, Malta’s primary energy provider, to upgrade the country’s electrical power infrastructure. The project leverages Enemalta’s existing ducts and tunnels to install a state-of-the-art fiber optic network that spans 27 distribution centers.

The fiber optic network is designed to enhance communication reliability and security across critical systems, particularly those involved in high-voltage power line protection. Tektraco’s role in this project is crucial, ensuring that the network supports high-speed data transmission, which is vital for the operational efficiency of Malta’s power distribution infrastructure.

As the official partners of Rohde & Schwarz, Tektraco supplied the Malta Communications Authority (MCA) with the cutting-edge R&S TSMA6 mobile network scanner to enhance their radio spectrum monitoring capabilities. This deployment marks a significant upgrade in the MCA’s toolkit, enabling them to better manage and optimize the radio frequency spectrum across Malta.

The R&S TSMA6 is a compact and autonomous network scanner designed for both drive and walk testing. It integrates a high-performance PC and scanner in one device, offering a powerful solution for real-time spectrum analysis. Supporting all 3GPP frequency bands up to 6 GHz, including the latest 5G NR and LTE standards, the TSMA6 equips the MCA with the capability to monitor modern communication networks comprehensively.

Key to the MCA’s decision was the TSMA6’s multi-GNSS receiver, which provides precise location tracking. This feature allows for accurate mapping of network performance and signal strengths, enabling the MCA to identify and address coverage issues efficiently. With the TSMA6, the MCA can conduct detailed assessments of network quality, ensuring effective spectrum utilization and superior communication services throughout Malta.

By providing this state-of-the-art equipment, Tektraco reaffirms its commitment to supporting the MCA’s mission of maintaining robust and reliable communication networks. The R&S TSMA6 will play a crucial role in helping the MCA manage the increasing demands on Malta’s spectrum, ensuring that both consumers and businesses benefit from high-quality electronic communications.

Tektraco was selected by MITA for the Mater Dei Data Centre project. Our expertise involved supplying, installing, and commissioning data cabinets and cabling. We implemented two advanced containment systems with dual aisles to enhance cooling efficiency. Our team meticulously set up fiber and copper cabling to ensure seamless communication across all cabinets.

Additionally, we provided reliable power distribution units for redundancy and implemented advanced environmental control monitoring. This project highlights Tektraco’s capability in delivering high-quality telecommunications solutions and managing complex technologies with rigorous testing to meet client needs.

The Malta Marriott Hotel & Spa is located metres from Balluta beach, alongside a tranquil seafront promenade within the bustling, cosmopolitan St. Julian’s town and a 20-minute drive from Valletta, a European capital of culture city. The newly €30M refurbished hotel, combines luxurious charm and the relaxed feel of a Mediterranean spa, with well-appointed premium category rooms and luxury suites. Together with three diverse restaurants and two bars, the M Club lounge offers spectacular views and the ideal space to work or relax. A roof top pool gives leisure travelers time to soak up the sun, whilst the spa provides an array of treatments, including a Jacuzzi, sauna, fitness center and squash court. The 301 room hotel also provides 15,000 square feet of versatile meeting & banqueting space.

Tektraco together with Mikenopa was able to deliver a fibre optic network solution based on passive optical technology. This enables guests to have fibre optic connected rooms delivering triple play services at blistering speeds. For the hotel management, the benefits were manifold: with 70% less cabling and easy maintenance, simultaneously delivering market leading technology and infrastructure for both business and leisure travellers.

The Palace is a distinctive, urban 5-star deluxe boutique hotel inspired by the pulse and passion of a city center hotel. The hotel is intimate and comfortable, yet luxurious and cosmopolitan, whilst offering a unique experience of genuine hospitality. The Palace is European elegance in the heart of urban Sliema.

Over the years the hotel’s network infrastructure was overwhelmed with the demand for guest wi-fi. Tektraco stepped in offering our Fibre Optic network using passive optical technology, with its light footprint where cable requirements are reduced by 70%. We were able to deliver class leading fibre networks into the guest rooms, with the hotel achieving the standards required from a ‘business hotel’ as guests are enjoying unparalleled internet speeds within the comfort of their rooms.

Established in 1977, Enemalta is the leading energy services provider in the Maltese Islands, responsible for the distribution of electricity and the development of the national electricity distribution network. As Malta’s power infrastructure has evolved, so has the need for advanced communication and protection systems to ensure the reliability and safety of the electrical grid.

In recent years, Enemalta has increasingly relied on fiber optic cables as the backbone of its communication and equipment protection strategies. These cables are essential for the real-time transmission of data and control signals necessary for managing the power grid. Fiber optics offer the speed, reliability, and security needed to handle the complex requirements of modern energy distribution systems.

Tektraco, a key partner in this technological advancement, has implemented tens of kilometers of fiber optic cables within Enemalta’s existing tunnels and ducts. These cables connect hundreds of endpoints across Malta’s electrical network, forming a critical communication infrastructure that supports various operational systems, including high-voltage power line protection relays.

One of the standout features of this network is the 24/7 fiber optic monitoring system installed by Tektraco. This system enables the continuous monitoring of the fiber optic infrastructure, allowing for the quick detection and pinpointing of cable breaks. The monitoring system provides alerts on digital maps, making it easier for Enemalta’s maintenance teams to respond swiftly to any issues, thereby minimizing downtime and enhancing the overall resilience of the power grid.

The collaboration between Enemalta and Tektraco underscores the importance of modern communication networks in managing critical infrastructure and highlights Malta’s commitment to adopting state-of-the-art solutions for its national utilities​.

The MCA (Malta Communications Authority) was established on the 1st January 2001 and is the statutory body responsible for, inter alia, the regulation of the various electronic communications sectors, which include fixed and mobile telephony, Internet and TV distribution services. 

Tektraco has been MCA’s reliable partner from its inception and our latest contribution to their critical work is the national spectrum monitoring system. Here we partnered up with CRFS to deliver a state-of-the-art system which will contribute to a more effective and efficient use of the radio spectrum. Thus, ensuring that this valuable common good is enjoyed by all.
