Our client Wirral Golf Club.
In early 2023 we were invited to visit and assess the feasibility of providing their separate groundskeepers buildings with reliable internet access and for mission critical ground monitoring equipment. As their comprehensive ground moisture sensing system was being let down by a cellular based internet service and with summer approaching this was a time sensitive task.

Distance from the clubhouse to target measured at 1450ft (+ -)
Our site surveys are comprehensive and leave nothing to chance. We measured the distance between the main clubhouse and the groundskeeper’s compound at 1450ft (+ -) and found an unobstructed route that would allow a direct line of sight, suitable for one of our finely focused beam data bridge links.

Taking the time to do the calculations allows us to offer the client the best package for the job.
Carefully double checking our onsite findings against the manufacture’s calculation tools allow us to select a suite of equipment perfect for the task. In this case, the selected units can deliver a maximum of 662Mbps which allows plenty of headroom for future expansion, facilitate other products like IP based CCTV cameras and enough capacity to mitigate interference or obstructions such as tree growth.

Planning & calculations mean nothing if equipment is not installed with precision.
Ensuring smooth installation and the best possible performance for our customers, we order custom equipment and exhaustively pretest everything before site deployment. Every system is installed within tight tolerances, this means that regardless of distance, whether 30mtrs or 13km, we will deliver the highest performance for our client’s investment.

Corresponding ‘station’ unit fitted atop the highest point at the groundskeeper’s compound.
From the ‘station’ unit fitted at the tallest building at the groundskeeper’s compound, a gigabit outdoor network cable was run via underground duct, to the groundskeeper’s office where their IT & golf green monitoring equipment is located.

To finish the task, we fitted one of our comprehensive wireless access points. Featuring 5x RJ45 network sockets allowing the client to hardwire devices via ethernet cables, powerful dual band 2.4/5Ghz Wi-Fi for wireless devices and the latest WPA3 security encryption. We’re happy to report that since the system was fitted our client no longer has issues with their golf green monitoring system or internet connectivity.
