Future-proof connectivity: Empowering Beard Construction with tailored wireless solutions

How UK Connect delivered fixed wireless access for Beard Construction

The challenge

With construction sites of all shapes and sizes across the country, Beard struggled to find a one-size-fits-all solution for company-wide connectivity. Each site came with unique requirements influenced by factors like location, project duration, site topology, and the setup of offices and buildings.

Like many construction firms, Beard couldn’t afford downtime and reliable connectivity was essential. From zoos and primary schools to luxury car showrooms and leisure facilities, no two Beard sites were alike. UK Connect’s challenge was to deliver a flexible, scalable solution that could adapt to a wide range of use cases.

In total, Beard needed to connect 60 sites, all at different stages of construction, most comprising temporary cabins and site accommodation units

The solution

After taking time to understand the many factors that impact individual site requirements, UK Connect offered a number of fixed wireless access solutions and services within a range of budgets. This included the popular and capable Ericsson R1900. We worked closely with Beard to ensure that each solution could be reviewed and updated on a regular basis to ensure that new technology could be integrated as it became available or required.
