Intro

In today’s fast-paced business world, reliable internet connectivity is a must. When Coastal Signals, a company based in Cornwall, was approached by a company in Newquay, Cornwall that was facing challenges installing a fibre connection in new premises, they didn’t want to let slow internet speeds hold them back but opted for a new solution: point-to-point networking using Ubiquiti products between their two buildings that were in close proximity. Coastal Signals overcame their communication woes to achieve a fast and secure connection.

The Challenge: Slow Fibre Installation

Like many businesses, there was a heavy reliance on fast and robust Internet connections to support its day-to-day operations. However, theywere facing multiple obstacles from Openreach to recognise their new premises on their system to provide an new line installation. It was proving to be a time-consuming and expensive process waiting for the line to be installed and more importantly was hindering their operations and their opening.
