Wireless connectivity for Laing O’Rourke
WiMAX-ready connectivity lets construction teams collaborate at major development site
A 10 mbps ‘WiMAX-ready’ fixed wireless internet connection with automatic failover to a ‘bonded quad ADSL’ link is providing secure resilient connectivity to construction teams working on a luxury apartment complex in Knightsbridge, London. CI-Net has implemented a high bandwidth, fixed wireless radio configuration, which incorporates secure virtual LANS (VLANS) to enable online collaboration by the 12 sub contractors currently working at the 27,000ft² site, for lead contractor Laing O’Rourke.
“Modern construction teams rely on dedicated construction portals and the web to share drawings, reports and emails with other workers on site as well as with staff at head office, so good connectivity is essential to keep projects moving. There’s a lot of WAN activity and bandwidth-hungry portals that need big links,” explained Paul Giles Regional IT Manager for Project Site Implementation at Laing O’Rourke.
