"The telephony and data project ran smoothly from start to finish. We had peace of mind one of the key components of our office move was in hand, through constant updates at each stage of the project. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hosted Connections to anyone looking for a similar solution"
Rob de Main, Head of Operations and Technology
The Challenge
Board had connectivity and telephony requirements in 2 of their UK sites.
One of the offices is based on floor 20 of the prestigious London landmark Tower 42, situated in the heart of the City of London. This site required dedicated high speed/robust connectivity and a telephony solution which integrated with their existing Salesforce CRM.
The second site in Newport Pagnell required the same telephony solution with connectivity to service office.
​
Board required Hosted Connections to project manage the solution including adhering to the strict conditions surrounding accessing Tower 42's service ducting to feed the fibre lease line to the 20th floor.
The Solution
Hosted Connections Carried out the project in a two step fashion due to the Newport Pagnell site being a new premises it was an easy decision to tackle this site first.
We installed an FTTC broadband circuit with Wifi in Newport with the Horizon telephony solution sitting on top.
​
Once this was in place we then liaised with the building facilities team at Tower 42 to arrange the installation of a big 500mb/1gb fibre lease line pipe and a Unifi Wifi Solution.
Once the fibre was in place and fully tested we rolled out the Horizon telephony solution and integrated with Boards CRM for screen popping and click to dial.
