Simplified 4G communications management and secure WIFI deployed to all the traffic sites of this Southwest Local Authority.

We were approached by a prospective client to review their communications strategy for 200+ traffic sites. They had recently taken over the responsibility for their estate and their priority was to restore and stabilise communications across their domain. The solution needed to be secure, cost-effective, and simple to maintain.

Prosis conducted a fact-finding exercise to identify the key requirements; it became apparent that many sites had become isolated due to poor connectivity. It was also discovered that there were various communication methods with a lack of supporting documentation that was also costly to maintain.

After further analysis, we suggested that cellular communications (LTE/4G) were the ideal connection medium to provide the required speed securely with a reduction in operational cost.

Working with our partners at Mobius Networks, our technical team developed a secure, scalable solution to cater to the client’s requirement using Cellular data comms and a dedicated private AP. The solution delivered secure access to each site router, OTU, and controller. In addition to providing connectivity, the solution also incorporated secure WIFI to give service engineers the ability to log on, diagnose and fix faults without opening site cabinets to the elements.

The client now has a fully documented, secure, cost-effective, manageable, communications strategy across their traffic management estate. Our team has implemented a solution that simplifies and standardises internal IP addressing so their maintenance and support engineers can connect to their equipment web pages with confidence.
