The Challenge
Claxton Manor Estate, which was the home to Claxton Castle, today combines traditional farming practices alongside innovative conservation programme, protecting wildlife found throughout the estate.
SimRush partner GML Technology were looking for a connectivity solution for their client Claxton Manor Estate, that would significantly improve their internet connectivity and in turn would allow them to remotely access their CCTV network.
With their existing ADSL connection not meeting their business requirements in terms of speed and capacity, fibre unavailable in the area and a leased line inappropriate/excessive, Claxton Manor required a quality solution that would improve their overall internet experience and allow them to take control of the their CCTV network remotely.
The Solution
With a SimRush Product GML Technology was able address Claxton Manor Estates’ need for a reliable replacement for the existing slow broadband connection at their estate office. With the implementation of SimRush, the estate office experienced significantly improved internet speeds and connectivity, enhancing their day-to-day operations. This successful deployment became a valuable example of innovation in action and was later highlighted in the Pontus Research Case Study for its effectiveness. The solution not only met the immediate needs of Claxton Manor Estates but also provided a scalable option for future growth.
GML conducted an onsite visit to establish that the expected speeds from the SimRush would be a significant improvement on current connectivity. Once proven, installation of the SimRush solution took place within days.
Liaising with SimRush engineers GML Technology stipulated their required firewall rules as part of the bespoke installation, so that the CCTV equipment was accessible via the internet, whilst still maintaining a secure private network onsite.
The Result
Claxton Manor Estates now have access to internet speeds of 30Mb, where previously they were only getting speeds of 1-2Mb. Not only has this allowed them to keep the business better connected they can now enjoy a better browsing experience and have the ability to stream HD videos and use applications such as Skype.
In addition to this they also have a reliable system that allows them to remotely access to their video surveillance network, something which was not possible with their old ADSL connection.
The SimRush connection has also meant that GML Technology were able to implement an internal WiFi system throughout the whole premises.
