Osborne Construction, UK

Construction & Utilities | Cellular Bonding

With an annual turnover in excess of £320 million, Osborne employs around 1000 staff and several thousand subcontractors working on up to 90 sites across the UK. Osborne clients span both private and public sector, including critical national infrastructure such as rail, road, health, and education projects. The company has been an early adopter of technologies such as building information modeling (BIM), thin clients, and virtualization to help streamline the construction process. With a growing requirement for IT within the construction process, Osborne originally covered the connectivity gap between site and datacenter by providing 3G dongles, 3G routers, or wired broadband.

Previously we would need to install ADSL where possible but the lead times are unpredictable and could be anything from weeks to several months. These delays and uncertainties add significant frustration and cost to the project.

– Phil Gilbey. Head of IT, Osborne.

Challenge

 

Osborne also found a great deal of inconsistency in this approach, especially in challenging environments such as railway stations or areas with limited coverage. Over the years, Osborne has tested technologies such as satellite and running their own multi-SIM 3G routers, but these options had significant complexity and cost drawbacks.
