CHALLENGE

The operating problem

Altus was appointed to redesign and modernise the client's commercial network infrastructure across a multi-site operational estate to improve connectivity, resilience, wireless performance and long-term scalability. The client required a future-ready enterprise network environment capable of supporting hybrid working, high-density device usage, cloud platforms, workplace technology systems and growing operational demand across multiple commercial locations.

The existing network environment had evolved over time through fragmented upgrades, inconsistent hardware deployment and limited infrastructure standardisation across sites. This created performance bottlenecks, wireless coverage issues, operational risk and increased support complexity for internal teams and users.

Network performance

  • Inconsistent WiFi coverage across sites
  • Network congestion and performance bottlenecks
  • Increasing demand from cloud and hybrid working platforms

Infrastructure complexity

  • Ageing switching and network infrastructure
  • Limited segmentation between operational systems
  • Inconsistent deployment standards across locations

Resilience and security

  • Single points of failure within network environments
  • Limited visibility across infrastructure performance
  • Requirement for secure and scalable enterprise connectivity
