What the Growth Package includes
The Growth Package is built for small to mid-sized offices that have outgrown a basic line setup and need a cleaner way to manage calls, internet access and internal connectivity. It combines fibre installation, VoIP deployment, phone system support and the cabling needed to keep counters, meeting rooms and shared areas on the same network. For many offices in Cape Town, Bellville, Century City, Somerset West, Paarl and Stellenbosch, that means fewer dropped calls and less time spent juggling separate services.
The package is usually planned as a single rollout, so the office can move from an old setup to a more capable one without piecing parts together later. We can also include number porting if you want to keep your existing business numbers, plus after-hours support for teams that cannot afford downtime during trading hours. It is a practical option for firms that are hiring, moving premises or opening a second floor and need a clear path forward.
Best fit for growing offices
This package suits offices with 8 to 40 users, although larger teams can be planned as well if the call flow and cabling are mapped properly. It works well for accounting firms, legal practices, medical rooms, shared offices, sales teams and service businesses that depend on regular client calls. If staff are spread across more than one room or need proper WiFi coverage in boardrooms and store rooms, the package can be shaped to suit the layout.
- Offices adding 3 to 15 new users in one go
- Teams that need better call handling during busy hours
- Premises with patchy WiFi in back offices or meeting rooms
- Businesses relocating within Cape Town or to another province
- Sites that need cleaner cabling before further expansion
It is also a sensible choice where load-shedding has exposed weak points in the communications setup. With the right router, power backup and voice planning, staff can keep taking calls and working online when the grid is unstable, provided your own backup power is in place.
Size options and technical specs
The package is offered in a few practical sizes, so you are not paying for capacity you do not need on day one. A smaller setup may suit a branch office with fewer calls, while a larger option supports reception, sales and several departments at once. We look at your user count, handset needs, internet demand and the number of call paths required before recommending the right fit.
- Entry growth setup: 8 to 12 users, 4 to 6 VoIP extensions, 1 fibre circuit, basic WiFi coverage
- Medium growth setup: 13 to 25 users, 6 to 12 VoIP extensions, call routing, stronger WiFi and cabinet planning
- Expanded growth setup: 26 to 40 users, multiple departments, added call groups, network monitoring and relocation support
Typical specs include fibre speeds from 50 Mbps to 1 Gbps depending on availability, VoIP handsets or softphone integration, managed number porting, structured cabling, and office WiFi planning for open-plan and partitioned spaces. If your building has thick walls or long passageways, we may recommend extra access points. That sounds small, but it often makes a proper difference.
Installation, power and site requirements
Installation starts with a site check, because no two offices are wired the same. We look at the incoming fibre path, where equipment will sit, how many work areas need coverage and whether the telecoms cabinet has enough space and ventilation. In Century City and other managed buildings, body corporate or landlord approval can also affect cable routes and drilling, so it helps to confirm access rules early.
The communications gear itself usually needs a standard mains supply and a stable power backup plan. Fibre does not need fuel or gas, but your router, switch, VoIP gateway and handsets do need electricity, so a UPS or inverter line is worth including if you want service during outages. For offices near the coast, especially around Cape Town, salt air and humidity can shorten the life of exposed fittings, so we prefer neat indoor positioning and proper cable management rather than leaving equipment in open corners.
If the office is being relocated, we can plan the move around your handover date to reduce downtime. In many cases the cabling is tested before staff arrive, which saves a lot of back-and-forth later, though it does still need a final check once the counters and phones are in place.
Keeping the system in good condition
The Growth Package is not a fit-and-forget item. Like any office communication system, it works best when it is checked and maintained from time to time. Dust in network cupboards, loose patch leads, overworked routers and old handsets can all affect call quality. A short service visit can prevent bigger problems later, especially if your office is adding users every few months.
- Check call quality after any office move or layout change
- Test backup power for the router, switch and voice equipment
- Review user permissions when staff join or leave
- Keep patching neat and label lines clearly
- Inspect WiFi coverage after adding partitions or new rooms
Our support team can assist after hours if a fault appears outside normal trading time. That matters for firms that work with overseas clients, early morning deliveries or weekend admin. It also helps when a receptionist notices a problem that should not wait until Monday morning.
What to check before you order
Before placing an order, it helps to confirm a few practical points so the package is sized correctly. Start with your current and expected user count, then note how many people make calls all day and how many only take the odd inbound call. If you are moving premises, check whether the landlord allows new cable runs, wall drilling or cabinet mounting, because some buildings are strict about that.
You should also know whether you want to keep your existing business numbers, add new ones or create department-based call groups. If your office already has a fibre line, we can assess whether it should be upgraded or replaced. For shared offices and medical suites, it is useful to know the hours of use and whether silent areas need better WiFi than busy reception zones. A quick walk-through with our team usually clears this up fast.
- Number of users now and in the next 12 months
- Number of simultaneous calls you need to handle
- Current fibre or internet service details
- Backup power available on site
- Permission for cabling, drilling and equipment placement

NewTel operates from Century City, Cape Town and supports offices across South Africa. Our team includes people who handle fibre projects, VoIP deployment, technical support, customer success and office relocations, so the setup is guided by people who understand day-to-day business use rather than just the hardware. We work with offices in Cape Town, Bellville, Somerset West, Paarl and Stellenbosch, and we also assist nationwide where the project fits.
