At Equate, we’re no strangers to unique challenges, and our recent work in a Grade II listed Georgian Manor House showcases how modern technology can blend seamlessly with historic charm.
The Challenge
The property, with its rich history and period features, required a delicate approach to modernising its IT infrastructure. The existing system was outdated, with unreliable connectivity, limited security, and insufficient scalability for the demands of a modern, connected lifestyle. Additionally, the historic nature of the building posed specific challenges, including maintaining its aesthetic integrity during upgrades
Our Approach
- Enhanced Connectivity: We upgraded the network infrastructure, deploying managed switches and ensuring high-speed WiFi coverage throughout the building without intrusive installations.
- Discrete Modernisation: All equipment installations were designed to minimise visual impact, blending into the mansion’s historic interior.
The Results
- Reliable Performance: High-speed connectivity is now available throughout the property and grounds, ensuring a seamless experience for all occupants.
- Enhanced Security: A multi-layered approach protects devices, data, and privacy.
- Discreet Installation: The aesthetic integrity of the Georgian mansion was preserved, with no visible disruption to its historic charm.
- Future-Ready Infrastructure: The system is scalable, allowing for easy integration of future technologies.
