- FUSION by UK Connect solves connectivity challenges on building sites
- Construction specialist Beard adopted FUSION across South West England
UK Connect recently launched FUSION, which is a new connectivity solution that could radically improve productivity on building sites. The solution has already been adopted by Vistry Group, and now Beard Construction is set to deploy FUSION at its sites across the UK.
What is FUSION?
FUSION, offered exclusively by UK Connect, provides construction companies with guaranteed connectivity, and removes the frustrations of network limitations, data caps, and downtime by delivering a single, powerful connectivity solution.
The connectivity solution is a fully managed hybrid WAN service that combines 5G, fibre, and LEO satellite into one intelligent, seamless network, delivering:
- Guaranteed connectivity across every site
- Unlimited data, with no hidden costs or overage penalties
- Real-time network visibility
- Smart failover & auto-switching between networks to ensure uptime
- Tiered commercial assurance for financial predictability
How does FUSION technology work in practice?
The solution eliminates the complexity of juggling multiple networks and service providers. FUSION offers a single, unified service that automatically selects the optimal network for a client’s site. It keeps builders connected without the headaches via the following:
• Leverage all available WAN (internet) sources.
• SD-WAN, Load-balancing, Link-Bonding and application-based traffic steering.
• Highly resilient redundancy options for maximum service assurance.
• Enterprise-grade security supporting SASE and Zero-Trust.
• 24×7 Proactive network monitoring, management and support.
• Reassurance and transparency on cost per site.
“FUSION has been thoughtfully developed in collaboration with the industry – by the industry, for the industry. Drawing on over a decade of hands-on experience in the UK Construction sector, UK Connect has applied its deep expertise and practical insight to shape Fusion into a solution perfectly tailored for housebuilders and main contractors alike” states Joe Budnar-Hunt, CTO of UK Connect. He continues:
“FUSION addresses the challenges of unreliable networks, unexpected bills, and downtime, and provides IT leaders with full confidence and assurance for their digital estate.”
With the UK Government targeting 1.5 million new homes by 2029, construction IT teams are under pressure to do more, faster, smarter, and with fewer resources. Reliable, scalable connectivity is no longer optional.
