Cavendish

IP-Communications were engaged by Quartzelec to complete the network refurbishment at Manchester Metropolitan University in the Cavendish Building. This involved several departments within the university including new departments for CAD, Art & Design and Food and Technology courses. Additionally the ground floor of Righton building was to be refurbished into to form a new student hub and reception area.

IP-Communications were tasked to deliver the installation of a 1300 point Network using Molex Category 6A S/SFT cable and also a diverse fibre backbone that integrated seamlessly with the existing fibre campus network ring. This 10Gb system would future proof the building for many years to come and provide the university with a robust stable network platform which would allow future growth plans.

The project had an extremely tight time scale with only a 20 week programme to include the design phase and a phased roll out of live dates upon completion of each floor. This meant that there were a multitude of trades all working together to achieve the extremely tight timescales however using close working relationships with Molex, Manchester Metropolitan University and Quartzelec we were able to deliver this complex and demanding install to time and to budget.

“IP-Communications willingness to engage fully with ourselves and the all those involved in this install meant that the installation was completed smoothly and with little intervention from ourselves. The quality of this install is an excellent example of the standard we expect from out highest level of installer accreditation” – Simon Hewitt. Advanced Solutions Director Molex Premise Networks.
