To address these challenges, Inkspotwifi spearheaded the installation process. Firstly, we conducted a comprehensive site survey with one of the onsite electrical engineers, assessing both front and back of house areas. Subsequently, we developed a detailed network plan outlining the existing infrastructure across the 8 buildings and identifying any additional infrastructure needed. We used media converter switches and tough switches to establish connections between these buildings, while ensuring the optimal network performance.

At each location, we traced existing cabling from the old Wi-Fi antennas on the respective roof areas back to the corresponding switches. We tested and re-terminated all cables, replacing any damaged ones as necessary. Additionally, we removed outdated hardware and strategically installed new access points to optimise coverage, particularly in high-traffic areas.

At the same time, we coordinated with our tech team to ensure remote accessibility and monitoring of all installed hardware. Notably, one building, The Market Hall, required special attention as it was not on the fibre ring. To address this, we installed an additional BT data line, ran new cables, and mounted new access points accordingly.

By employing a combination of technical expertise and strategic planning, we aimed to deliver a robust Wi-Fi solution that would meet the needs of both visitors and management alike.
