Overcoming Construction connectivity challenges

Prior to embracing UK Connect's Connectivity solutions in 2018, Cala Group, like many housebuilders, relied on traditional wired infrastructure such as Copper and Fibre Broadband. However, the installation process for these solutions often took months. UK Connect's Cellular Broadband solution offered a game-changing alternative, enabling Cala Group to have full Connectivity and fast Communication within a few days of installation.
