Tellumat hands over business to CK Solutions

Tellumat, the technology group serving the defence, security, ICT, transport, energy and telecoms sectors, has announced the sale of several Tellumat Integrated Solutions (TIS) lines of business to CK Solutions. This company is led by Mbusi Sibisi as CEO in South Africa, and Dumisa Manana as CEO for the rest of Africa.

Tellumat has transferred TIS Managed Services, Mechanical Products and Kitting, to Andrew’s Kit (Pty) Ltd., trading as CK Solutions, says Tellumat CEO, Andrew Connold.

Managed Services is involved in the identification of suitable sites for GSM high-site installations; the establishment of leases with landowners/municipalities; and the provision, reticulation, management and separate metering of telco operators’ electricity consumption on shared sites.

Mechanical Products offers low-profile GSM solutions and a range of low-, medium-, high- and ultra-high-security equipment cabinets for telco equipment, as well as a low energy, passive cooling solution for these cabinets.

Kitting provides kits of parts used in preventative maintenance (such as waterproofing of shelters etc.) and GSM infrastructure upgrades.

The product line-up in the lines of business sold to CK Solutions include iconic units like the CK 100 base station power manager.

Citing shareholder restructuring of their investment portfolio focus as the reason for exiting the telecoms industry, Connold says TIS’s customers will be well served by CK Solutions – an established company with a long history of supplying local telecommunications networks and service companies with a variety of essential products.

CK Solutions is 100% black-owned, located in new premises in Midrand and resourced with skilled employees with many years of experience in the telecoms industry.
