ProNetExpert were engaged by a UK government client to set up a 1 week temporary wireless infrastructure. The objective was to enable wireless access for high government officials in order to connect to the Internet and corporate resources from their laptops and other mobile devices.

ProNetExpert’s Cisco Consultants designed a complete solution (Design, Staging, Implementation and Monitoring). The ProNetExpert Cisco Support Team arranged two 34 MB E3 upstreams from a local Service Provider, which ran multihomed BGP and served as the upstream. The Cisco 3800 upstream routers were firewalled off by ASA 5540s. Around 40 Cisco Access Points were deployed (incl. site surveys). The setup also contained various outdoor wireless MESH bridging setups. Users were able to seamlessly roam on Layer 2 and Layer 3 basis and form direct VPN connections into corporate networks from the end devices.

Additionally around 200 VoIP handsets were supplied to enable Voice over WLAN telephony for the attendees. The PBX solution was supplied by a Service Provider and configured and monitored by our Cisco Consultants. The ProNetExpert Cisco Support Team configured comprehensive Quality of Service to provide optimal performance for both Voice and Data Traffic.
