1The Challenge
A property developer, required a comprehensive, high-performance connectivity and security solution for a new 40-bed student accommodation property in Leamington Spa. The challenge was integrating all necessary systems, broadband, Wi-Fi, CCTV, and video intercom, seamlessly from the ground up, requiring close collaboration with the developer and consultancy teams from the initial design phase. They needed a reliable, future-proof network capable of handling high-density usage typical of student living, ensuring both exceptional user experience and robust building security.
2Our Solution
Our approach ensured that all critical services, connectivity, security, and access control, were unified under a single, managed platform. Following installation, Umbrella Broadband provided ongoing managed services, including proactive network monitoring, maintenance, and dedicated security support. This comprehensive involvement has now extended to Phase 2, a significantly larger 250-bed student property, demonstrating the success and scalability of the initial solution.
3The Results
The developer successfully launched the 40-bed property with a fully operational, high-speed, and secure network infrastructure. Students benefit from reliable, high-density Wi-Fi connectivity essential for modern academic and social life. The integrated CCTV and video intercom systems provide robust security and streamlined access control. The success of this initial project led directly to Umbrella Broadband being contracted for the substantially larger Phase 2 development (250 beds), ensuring continuity and scalability of the managed connectivity solution.
"Umbrella Broadband were involved from the very start, which made integrating the broadband, CCTV, and intercom systems completely seamless. The network is incredibly robust and handles the high-density usage of 40 students without any issues, which is exactly what we needed. Their successful initial deployment meant contracting them for our much larger Phase 2 development was an easy decision; they deliver reliability and genuine expertise."
