Keepmoat: A partnership built on seamless solutions and support

Robust and dependable connectivity, nationally

Challenge

Keepmoat faced a significant challenge on their sites located in remote areas, where establishing a reliable and strong internet connection was often difficult. The company required a robust, dependable solution to ensure that their teams remained connected and productive, regardless of their location. The primary concern was ensuring seamless connectivity in their sales and site offices, as this was identified as a top priority issue impacting both operations and customer experience. Unfortunately, Keepmoat lacked the necessary internal resources and equipment to effectively manage this connectivity challenge, making it a critical barrier to smooth operations.

Solution

UK Connect transformed Keepmoat's approach to connectivity by harnessing cutting-edge technology to enhance construction site operations. The implementation centered around 5G Cellular Broadband.

The Cellular Broadband solution delivered Keepmoat with a scalable, future-proof connectivity infrastructure. By eliminating the need for wired connections, Keepmoat gained the flexibility to easily adapt and expand their network as their needs grew. This enabled seamless communication and collaboration across all construction sites, no matter their size or location.

Enhanced Connectivity on Construction Sites

UK Connect deployed Ericsson's Cradlepoint R1900 routers, known for their superior build quality, advanced routing capabilities, and exceptional performance. Radio Frequency (RF) engineers carried out thorough spectrum analysis to select the optimal mobile network operator and external antenna for each construction site. This detailed process ensured that every site received the highest possible bandwidth, providing construction teams with reliable, seamless connectivity.

Through this partnership, more than 70+ sites have been connected by UK Connect (with a total of 130 sales suites and site cabins). UK Connect's innovative solutions tackled infrastructure challenges and met growing data demands, delivering reliable, high-speed connectivity for construction teams. By utilizing 5G Cellular Broadband, Keepmoat experienced enhanced communication, optimized operations, and more efficient digital workflows.

This collaboration not only addressed immediate connectivity requirements but also established a strong foundation for future scalability and growth. UK Connect’s managed connectivity solutions have positioned Keepmoat at the forefront of digital transformation, ensuring a seamless and connected future for construction.
