Industrial - Centrica

The client needed a supplier whose communications technology would keep working in such a cut-off location.

In May 2011, Speedy was called in by Costain to install internet and phone lines at the Centrica Gas Terminal at Easington, Grimsby.

As the site was remote, the client needed a supplier whose communications technology would keep working in such a cut-off location.

A team of Speedy engineers was sent to assess the site, and recommended Speedy Canopy as the best solution. Developed by Speedy technology specialists after extensive research, the Speedy Canopy meets the challenge of getting sites rapidly online by providing access to high-speed data, telephony and cloud-based applications within a matter of days.

Having assessed where the best location to fix an antenna was, a point-to-point wireless data link was set up, meaning that internet signals could be transferred over to the client from the nearest Speedy depot in Grimsby.

The process took just two days and required minimum manpower from Speedy, in contrast to the process of installing a fixed line service, which would have taken about 12 weeks and cost in excess of £100,000.
