Solution
Following a detailed consultation, Barton Telecom designed and deployed a complete communications solution tailored to the operational requirements of PowerData Technologies.
We installed a full fibre broadband service, delivering fast, reliable and business grade connectivity to support the company’s growing digital demands. The enhanced connection provides the bandwidth and stability required for cloud services, online collaboration and customer facing applications.
To ensure maximum resilience, a 5G backup broadband solution was implemented alongside the primary connection. In the event of any outage or service disruption, the backup service automatically maintains connectivity, helping to minimise downtime and protect business operations.
Alongside the connectivity deployment, Barton Telecom implemented a cloud hosted VoIP phone system that introduced advanced call handling features, intelligent call routing and greater flexibility for users. Existing telephone numbers were seamlessly migrated to the new platform, ensuring continuity for customers and suppliers.
The entire solution was delivered with minimal disruption to daily operations, allowing the business to continue operating normally throughout the installation process.
