Anchored in Connectivity Challenges

The Royal Harwich Yacht Club (RHYC), nestled on the banks of the River Orwell in Suffolk, is more than just a sailing club. It's a hub for social activities, a venue for private functions, and a welcoming space for members and visitors alike. However, this idyllic location came with its unique set of challenges.

The club's operations, which heavily relied on internet-based applications and Voice over IP, were hampered by the lack of reliable internet connectivity. Traditional service providers could only offer a few Mbps per second due to the absence of Fibre infrastructure. The club needed a solution, as critical services were dropping out at all the wrong times.

Navigating the Sea of Slow Internet

The club's operations were like a ship trying to sail against the current. The existing broadband service was nearly unusable, affecting everything from office functions to voice over IP. The club also needed to integrate the new service with their onsite WiFi network and ensure IP configuration for their third-party Voice over IP provider.

The challenge was not just to find a solution, but to find one that could be implemented quickly and seamlessly.
