The customer was suffering from very slow internet speeds. We explored a lease line but the cost of installation was prohibitive, and the quotes they had received to connect the workshop and stores were excessive.

We proposed Starlink and a joint effort on the infrastructure. They laid the fibre cable (which we supplied so it was easy for them) and put the pole up for Starlink at an agreed location, and we then arrived an commission the fibre, put switches and access points for the WiFi in their buildings. We also had to cross a service yard without digging so we used a point to point WiFi link.

We also connected the Starlink up, using the old slow line as a backup giving them a very cost effective solution.

The result they now have over 200MB download across their whole site, with great WiFi.

Do you have infrastructure you need, but other companies want to do the whole project and make your eyes water with the quote? If this is you, give us a call and we can see what costs we can cut out of the solution by using your own resources.
