Our Clients
Open Network Associates Ltd has built up an impressive client base that includes corporate customers and many smaller organisations nationwide, within both the public and private sectors.
Malmesbury School - Case Study
Working with a major construction company, we installed a copper and fibre voice and data infrastructure in three new-build secondary schools under a PFI project in Wiltshire. Incorporating 800 category 5e lines per school, plus inter block fibre and voice connections, this project was completed on time and within budget. We continue to work with G4S, the management company for the PFI, as well as the schools directly.
We have carried out major refurbishment and change of use projects at Malmesbury School, which boasts high performing school status and specialist school status, as well as auditing the communication cabinets in the school and rebuilding them. Both the size and the requirement of the existing network has increased substantially since the original installation, so Open Network Associates Ltd continues to help and advise the school on how to improve the performance of the network in line with the growing needs of the school.
North Somerset Council - Case Study
Presented with the task of running 650 category 5e lines over two floors in a 1960´s building with concrete floors and ceilings during major refurbishment, we designed and planned an innovative bespoke trunking system accessible for future modifications while being aesthetically pleasing within the refit. Our client specified dado high access to the IT services. However, due to the architecture of the building, it was not possible to run trunking at dado height. We therefore designed a trunking system that was fitted to the ceiling but was easy to access after installation, to allow for moves and changes. This we achieved by fixing white plastic trunking, the lid side up, to "U" hangers so that additional lines could be installed easily at a later date. The lines were then fitted into conduits that were run from the trunking and down the pillars of the building to dado height as requested.
Spofforths - Case Study
Working to a very tight deadline we were asked to implement a new structured cabling system for Spofforths Accountants in Sussex. This included removal of an old cabling system that did not meet the requirements of the client, a data installation into the existing floor boxes and an innovative new under floor flexible power track system for the electrical power.
Each floor box had 4 off Category 5e lines and 1 double power socket. When installed, the Category 5e was left with 5mt slack on the floor box to enable it to be moved at a later date, also the power could be un-plugged and moved using the power track system. A second installation was carried out in a new build office but this time into a screed floor trunking system with fixed floor boxes. The screed floor trunking had limited capacity so we had to plan carefully the cable routes in order to make sure that there was room for new cables as well as any future cabling that may need to be installed. Both of these projects were completed on time and on budget.
