Heathhall Business Centre
Heathhall Business Centre is a long-standing client. The owner of the business centre came to Corona IT Solutions in a bid to resolve an issue with Wi-Fi and mobile connectivity across the site. In response, Arthur and his team offered several solutions that would provide extensive upgrades and ongoing support.
Installed a WISP Network
Fast and reliable internet has always been a vital part of running any business. A WISP Network is a “Wireless Internet Service Provider Network” that connects each individual unit on the estate back to a central point. This WISP network provides a connection to each industrial unit through a 500mb line, ensuring all tenants have a minimum internet connection speed of 50mbps per second. This is supplied as standard across the estate and is free to every tenant. Additionally, a guest network is available across the entire site, meaning site visitors can still benefit from fast and reliable internet connectivity. Whilst installing this network, Arthur and his team also deployed a business phone system that allows for advanced phone handling.
Ongoing Management
As well as designing and installing this network, Corona IT Solutions provides Managed IT Support on an ongoing basis.
Cross-site CCTV
Once the WISP network was installed, Arthur and his team progressed to upgrading site security. Using this network, they installed a cross-site CCTV system which allows the site owner to monitor and review CCTV footage remotely for the whole of the industrial estate. Tenant security is paramount and is another benefit of renting a commercial unit within the estate.
As part of these security upgrades, Corona IT Solutions are looking to install a series of AMNPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras across the site.
