Fibre Optics & Networks

Fibre Optics & Networks

Fibre is an excellent way of achieving super-fast internet speeds. We offer our clients complete peace of mind regarding all aspects of network infrastructure: from design, installation, support, maintenance, testing and breakdown.

Homes

We specialise in supplying fibre to properties requiring super fast internet speeds and complex layouts. We have completed network designs for properties with home studios, swimming pools (requiring heat controls), air conditioning, automated gates and alarms.


For new builds, we can create bespoke network designs that compliment the layout of your new home and take the many different variations in building structure into account. To be there from design to implementation means we can ensure your property operates at the optimum level whilst still retaining the aesthetic you want. Good fibre optic networks don't have to be ugly!




Business

Fibre is an excellent choice for business due to the high speeds and data capacity. We have completed installations across warehouse facilities, offices and agricultural buildings. Being a team entirely comprised of Devon locals means we understand the challenges presented by remote areas and therefore come equipped to deal with the issues this throws up for fibre installation.

Case Study

The Property

A private residence nestled in the heart of the South Hams, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

In addition to farming, the owners also provide holiday accommodation, generate renewable energy, and work remotely on business and educational charity interests.

Before IT Workhouse

The property hosted two weak broadband lines, which consisently failed and frequently left the property with no connection for days on end. Due to the thick stone walls in all the buildings onsite, the 5Mbps was virtually unusable even a small distance from the router.

None of the farm or ancillary buildings were connected to the internet so there were no smart controls or means to monitor or update equipment. 

What we did

IT Workhouse conducted an extensive site survey before creating network designs to incorporate the complex needs of each building.

Multiple network tests were completed, ensuring full coverage was achieved. It was decided that a leased line would be the most effective installation for the site.  

Significant Improvements

The effects of the leased line have been transformative. The whole property now has dedicated super-fast fibreoptic broadband, meaning that guests can move between buildings without any network interruption. 

IT Workhouse provided a bespoke installation to suit the needs of the very old buildings onsite, ensuring that the results were tidy, unobtrusive and effective. 

“IT Workhouse was recommended to us by a customer. Alex listened patiently to our tales of isolation from the digital world due to the intermittent 5Mbps. 


Alex found a more competitive provider for the leased line than we could establish directly, and he and John developed a network solution to enable the benefits of an ultra fast (1Gbps) broadband connection to be realised across the site from a central hub. They understood our focus on utility, longevity and cost-effectiveness over nice-to-have digital bells and whistles but ensured the subsidiary hubs allow for expansion as some of our bigger ideas become mainstream. 


The team worked hard, minimising disruption, finding solutions and working in collaboration with our regular contractors. The result is nothing short of transformational with seamless internet access throughout the properties. In turn this enables monitoring and control of everything from solar panels to CCTV (which IT Workhouse installed) and streaming speeds meeting all domestic and professional needs for multiple users. 


Dependable and professional, we have turned to IT Workhouse for project and Business Support on multiple occasions.”
