- High-traffic environment (central London) with mobile network congestion
- VoIP/video session drops during SIM failover with legacy systems
Solution:
- Advanced cellular bonding solution from sister company XCommNet
- Multiple SIMs and modems bonded at the packet level for seamless throughput
- Static public IP across multiple mobile networks for secure system access
- Real-time dynamic traffic routing with no session drop—even during link degradation
Resilient Site Connectivity with XCommNet Bonded Networks
Collins Construction delivers premium commercial fit-outs and refurbishments in London. Their work requires flawless digital communications, even at temporary or challenging locations where traditional broadband isn’t viable.
The Requirements
Collins needed a high-speed, always-on internet connection at a temporary site with no fixed-line service. The solution had to support remote access, scanning, project management, and VoIP—all essential to operations—without introducing downtime or compromising performance.
Challenges
Legacy multi-SIM routers with sequential failover caused frequent service interruptions and session drops during calls or video conferencing. Mobile signal in central London was congested and inconsistent. Engineering visits for hardware resets increased operational costs. Traditional solutions couldn’t adapt dynamically to real-world performance.
The Solution
Addressing complex connectivity challenges is the bread and butter of our sister company, XCommNet. Their bonded connectivity solution combines multiple mobile network links into a single, seamless virtual data pipe. This advanced setup delivers high-throughput, highly reliable internet by intelligently distributing traffic across all available connections in real time. It ensures maximum uptime, uninterrupted sessions, and consistent performance even in high-demand environments like central London. Using real WAN bonding at the packet level, this setup provided:
– Persistent sessions across multiple links
– Improved combined bandwidth and uptime
– True failover without dropped traffic or latency spikes
This intelligent routing ensured users experienced no drop in service, even during signal fluctuations. XCommNet also enabled a static public IP across all connections, critical for remote access and secure scanning.
Having supported Collins Construction since 2017, XCommNet’s technology is fully tailored to their needs and continues to evolve alongside their projects.
