We wouldn’t usually recommend utilising temporary connections for a site of this scale but because of the timeline we made use of multiple connections to a variety of mobile networks coupled with multiple satellite connections. This allowed for bandwidth well in excess of 500Mbps for HZI to work with and disperse to both their client and sub-contractors.
Across a variety of phases, our team worked within the mature H&S environment within HZI to install everything from multiple satellite connections, over 25 wireless access points, a point to point system to allow a network to spread to a remote security location. We carried this out over two days, allowing for full testing and handover.
After installation, our team provided short term onsite support to ensure the configuration and capability was correct and then moved into our standard remote monitoring and support process. With alerts provided if anything fails or goes offline, coupled with firmware upgrades, moves and changes as well as phone support should there be any questions or concerns.
A site supporting more than 300+ connecting devices is now established and whilst it has now been moved over to the fibre connection in a seamless switchover, we were able to install all necessary hardware right from the outset. The temporary configuration and bandwidth available was sufficient to allow all onsite staff, clients and sub-contractors to operate normally, moving design files, talking on Microsoft Teams, sending and receiving emails coupled with general browsing.
