Wifirst was appointed to provide a fully managed WiFi and Internet connection to the Sav Groups latest refurb managed by CRM Students. Wifirst, being one of the biggest Internet Service providers in Europe for Student accommodation, was a natural fit and greatly appreciative of this partnership with CRM Students.
The project management team wanted Wifirst to provide ultra high capacity fibre to the building, and provide state-of-the-art WiFi to all 112 rooms in the scheme. The challenge was to incorporate this prior to their January opening, with a really tight timeframe within the refurbishment phase. Wifirst had less than 2 months to deliver and install all new cables throughout the building, working with other building companies already on site.
A new, state-of-the-art WiFi installation, providing a robust and unlimited WiFi connection to all tenants. The solution was also handed over 2 weeks prior to the deadline! To date, no complaints have been given to the reception and more services are being tested. The staff was also able to implement third party providers on top of this WiFi infrastructure, such as CCTV / Door Locks and a Cinema Room.
"The events of 2020 made us realise just how much we all rely on technology. In student accommodations, the students need to come first. That is why we wanted a partner we could rely on to help us put the students' needs above all. All our students have been very satisfied with their internet service and have given no complaints! Our staff have been very satisfied with the ease of use in the network, as their day-to-day tasks rely on a stable network”
