Yurika’s customer was a large regional Council in Queensland. Given its size, the client was responsible for a range of products and services including community centres, workspaces and libraries.

The Council were seeking an experienced delivery partner to maintain and provide a data and internet service to connect all its facilities. Connectivity was critical and our Yurika team needed to develop and install links to support and maintain a fast, reliable and cost-effective solution for the community. This included linking community centres, libraries and the various council offices.

Access to Wi-Fi in all these areas was pivotal to the success of the project. Also required was a high level of data security as well as reliability to support a range of uses which had to work within the council’s corporate network.

Before embarking on creating a solution, Yurika’s team needed to understand the organic make up of data. Existing technology across the sites limited the data speed available to between two and ten megabits per second.

In today’s world, this would significantly limit client’s internet speed and ability to deliver free Wi-Fi to visitors as well as support daily internet access for staff. Even simple information technology or online tasks would be compromised with the existing infrastructure in place and reliability could not be guaranteed.

After reviewing and assessing the project and potential, Yurika’s telecommunications team strategically designed a cost-effective solution for each site. This meant utilising a mix of existing infrastructure and newly designed and constructed fibre optic cable.
