A HOST of Britain’s biggest construction companies are moving at pace to adopt a revolutionary new solution to connectivity problems on site.
UK Connect has launched FUSION - a new connectivity solution that could radically improve productivity on building sites.
Earlier this month the solution was adopted by Vistry Group. Now Beard Construction is set to deploy FUSION at its sites across the UK.
What is FUSION?
FUSION by UK Connect provides construction companies with guaranteed connectivity, wherever they need it most.
It removes the pain of network limitations, data caps, and downtime by delivering a single, powerful connectivity solution.
Exclusively offered by UK Connect, FUSION provides the digital foundation necessary to enable true digital transformation.
The connectivity solution is a fully managed hybrid WAN service that combines 5G, fibre, and LEO satellite into one intelligent, seamless network, delivering:
• Guaranteed connectivity across every site
• Unlimited data, with no hidden costs or overage penalties
• Real-time network visibility
• Smart failover & auto-switching between networks to ensure uptime
• Tiered commercial assurance for financial predictability
Earlier this summer, FUSION was named 'Most Innovative Connectivity Solution' at the Construction Supplier Innovation Awards 2025.
And this month FUSION was named Innovation of the Year (Contractor) at the Construction News Specialists Awards 2025.
How does FUSION technology work in practice?
The solution eliminates the complexity of juggling multiple networks and service providers. FUSION offers a single, unified service that automatically selects the optimal network for a client’s site. It keeps builders connected without the headaches via the following:
· Leverage all available WAN (internet) sources.
· SD-WAN, load-balancing, link-bonding and application-based traffic steering.
· Highly resilient redundancy options for maximum service assurance.
· Enterprise-grade security supporting SASE and Zero-Trust.
· 24x7 Proactive network monitoring, management and support.
· Reassurance and transparency on cost per site.
“FUSION has been thoughtfully developed in collaboration with the industry – by the industry, for the industry. Drawing on over a decade of hands-on experience in the UK Construction sector, UK Connect has applied its deep expertise and practical insight to shape Fusion into a solution perfectly tailored for housebuilders and main contractors alike” said Joe Budnar-Hunt, CTO of UK Connect.
With the UK Government targeting 1.5 million new homes by 2029, construction IT teams are under pressure to do more, faster, smarter, and with fewer resources. Reliable, scalable connectivity is no longer optional.
“FUSION addresses the challenges of unreliable networks, unexpected bills, and downtime, and provides IT leaders with full confidence and assurance for their digital estate.”
Teresa Wilkins, Head of IT at Beard, said: “We would highly recommend UK Connect. They care about the solutions they provide and the people using their services.”
