Many UK public sector organisations now accept that wireless technology must be considered for the delivery of best value ICT infrastructure solutions, with NbW consulted on a daily basis.

Value for money is an important criterion in determining approval of an authority’s infrastructure budget, and one where wireless technology fits perfectly. For a one off capital investment, or an agreed lease purchase solution, organisations are realising that bandwidth ownership far outweighs bandwidth rentals in terms of total cost of ownership, service level provision and attainment and delivery of e-government targets.

Ownership of their own infrastructure puts NbW’s clients in control of their own destinies and provides a secure, flexible, resilient network that can be easily extended or adapted when and where required.

Most solutions implemented by NbW to date throughout the public sector, whether for a local authority, police force, fire service or NHS trust, use a mix of wireless and wire line technologies to meet the best value criteria.

By utilising Licensed Radio, WiMAX, Wi-Fi and Optical Wireless technologies, NbW can provide solutions that are highly secure, highly reliable and capable of providing bandwidths from 2Mbps to 2.5Gbps over any terrain and distance. For example, the 155Mbps high capacity regional network we built and now maintain for South Wales Fire and Rescue Service extends 100 km over eight counties.

The unmatched track record NbW have set in serving the public sector also ensures that it is the first choice for private sector organisations – whether SMEs, financial institutions, telcos or media operators – requiring reliable, cost-effective fixed IP infrastructures.

The same tried and tested infrastructures are also capable of delivering a large range of today’s mobile IP applications, such as VoIP, Video and IP CCTV and Mobility solutions.
