May update

Back at the Norris Museum in St Ives this month, starting to install the network cabinet and Cat6 wall plates, testing and commissioning some areas. Installation of a wireless network for a large farmhouse in Stretham who had been experiencing poor Wi-Fi signal due to the size of the house and thickness of walls, we installed remote access points linked to a controller unit in the loft which gave them full signal throughout the house. Other projects included the installation of new shielded Cat6 cables and outlets in the production area of a cable manufacturer to the Oil and Gas industry, as well as the installation of a site wide wireless network for 2 primary schools in Cambridgeshire over the half term break, both site experiencing a seamless handover from the old 802.11g to new 802.11ac wireless network.

April update

A busy month, removing projectors and Smartboards from a primary school in Cambridge and replacing with 65” Smartboard touch screens, replacing AV equipment in a school hall in Peterborough, installing new Cat6 cabling into floor boxes in a Sixth Form for a private school in Cambridge, in readiness for exams in the summer. We also extended the wireless network of a large wedding venue in Ely to cover recently added bedrooms and external coverage to the event marquee. We had some weekend work also, a customer in Rutland had a large network cabinet in their main office, with all of the equipment installed over the years it had become noisy and basically in the way, so over the weekend we stripped it down, documented all connections, re-routed the cables up to a first floor print room, re-connected all cables and equipment, and tested, everything went well with no reported faults on the Monday morning.

March update

Some removal work this month, with a customer moving premises from Harlow to Cambridge, we travelled to the old offices to remove projectors and interactive boards from their old board rooms, transported the equipment up to the new offices and re-installed into the new board rooms. Other projects included the installation of a new Panasonic NS700 Telephone system for an accountants in Sawston, re-routing of fibre-optic and voice cables for a builders new offices in Kings Lynn, and we started work on installing the Cat6 network cabling for the refurbished Norris Museum in St Ives, a project which will be spread out over a few months.

February update

We often receive calls from customers who have legacy cable which has been added too over the years and now does not perform to the growing needs of their business, in some cases the network cabinet has become too small, and in others the cabinet is located in an office area and with all of the equipment installed noise is becoming an issue. One of our customers had both of these issues and so we re-cabled their offices and production area with a new Cat6 network, working throughout the week around their staff in such a way as to cause minimal disruption, the customer supplied an acoustic server cabinet and we arranged the change over from old to new network late on a Friday afternoon. A new open plan office are was also created as part of the project, with us installing perimeter dado trunking, power and Cat6 outlets, tested and certified with a 25 year product warranty.

Another exciting project for us was cabling for the new offices and studios for a TV shopping channel, converting a two storey existing office space to accomodate the 12 Studio sets, production and audio rooms, call centre, meeting rooms and general offices. We installed fibre optic and copper cabling throughout the building linking 2 existing and 1 new comms rooms, re-arranged existing floorbox outlets, tested the whole building infrastructure and will be installing a wireless link and cabling out to the new warehouse on the opposite side of the road in early 2017.
