Wavensmere Homes approached UK Connect in 2019, when they were looking for a reliable broadband provider for a large development, the Nightingale Quarter, in Derby.
With 800 homes due to be built and with three construction site offices required, their number one priority was to ensure that all homes on the development were built on time and to a high standard. This could not be done without the ability communicate effectively with customers, colleagues and suppliers from day one.
Although on-site broadband may seem like a simple communications solution, it really is the piece of the puzzle that allows staff to achieve their goals, doing so with maximum efficiency. However, on a large development such as the Nightingale Quarter in Derby, a broadband solution can only help its users to achieve these targets if it is reliable, secure and robust. UK Connect’s Cellular Broadband solution is exactly that.
UK Connect’s Cellular Broadband solution guarantees superfast broadband speed across the entire development. The in partnership with Cradlepoint, the market leader in Wireless Edge WAN Solutions, the routers are industry leading and ruggedised – perfect for construction sites.
Having conducted a Radio Frequency survey to ensure the fasted possible speeds on site, and with a guarantee of installation within 10 days, the cellular broadband solution was installed well ahead of schedule, meaning staff on site did not have to wait for a fixed line provider, and they could utilise the robust and secure broadband solution to their advantage in an instant. Ultimately staff on site were securely and effectively connected, so that they could focus on what really matters – building and selling homes.
