Construction sites often demand swift and secure internet connections to keep pace with their bustling and complex nature. The digital tools of today, such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, have become staples in the work environment. In addition, routine exchange of large files like CAD/CAM designs and project management documents is frequent. Hence, reliable internet is vital.

As projects evolve, construction sites also need flexible connectivity solutions that can be relocated around the site as necessary. Unfortunately, traditional Internet Service Providers (ISPs) often come up short. They provide subpar customer service and respond slowly to urgent issues.

Overcoming Connectivity Hurdles

Establishing dependable and robust connectivity at construction sites is not without its challenges. The temporary character of these sites makes long-term fibre contracts impractical. Also, the lengthy lead times typical of these contracts don't match the quick pace of the construction industry.

Catering to specific security and network needs while adhering to the company's IT policies is another hurdle. Furthermore, there's a need for both indoor and outdoor secure Wi-Fi connectivity for seamless user experience, something that many traditional ISPs fall short of providing.
