gedas goes wireless with PIPEX Communications
Leading systems integrator gedas united kingdom limited is operating and benefiting from fast, reliable and accessible Internet access provided by PIPEX Communications. A member of the Volkswagen Group, gedas selected PIPEX Communications to provide Wireless Access Internet Connectivity services.
PIPEX Communications, the telecom network operator and provider of business broadband solutions, is providing gedas with two high-speed broadband (microwave) connections to supply four of its service divisions. The first 4Mb connection enables staff at Volkswagens Milton Keynes based headquarters and 850 of its dealer network franchises to access their individual email accounts and browse the web via the corporate partner network.
The second 6Mb connection provides gedas headquarters with email and web browsing services and allows staff to access online training courses and multimedia content. The availability and performance of each divisions Internet connection is independently guaranteed and backed-up with a leased line connection.
Clare Stocker, Systems and Infrastructure Manager, gedas united kingdom, comments, As a Group, we do so much with the wireless connection, from sending e-mails, to on-line company training to watching video streaming and video multimedia content on the Internet. It has really helped our business to grow.
A recent example of how the connection has helped the Group was when the company launched the new Audi A8. The ceremony was held in Germany, but by using the video streaming facility, franchises in the UK were able to watch the launch live over the Internet.
To take advantage of Wireless Access, gedas needed to be situated in direct line of sight and within a radius of 15km of one of PIPEX Communications radio PoPs (Point of Presence) - an access point to the Internet. A discreet dish can be installed quickly and easily at the premises. If a line of sight is not available, PIPEX Communications can set up a mini PoP relay.
Because PIPEX Communications independently owns and manages its own national network, Wireless Access is able to provide a dedicated wireless Internet connection ensuring exceptional service quality.
