Digitization has also taken an important role in the work process in the construction sector. Communication on modern construction sites depends on a strong internet connection, and therefore it is important that a good connection is available for all applications on the construction site. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of construction sites do not have a wired internet connection, as these locations are often located in remote locations. The installation of a wired (fiber) internet connection would also take so much time that the construction project would probably be running towards the end in the meantime. This problem shows that there is a need for a quick, easy and affordable solution to connect construction sites to the internet. Resulting in good communication between different construction sites and with the head office.

Your connectivity solution in construction
The ideal mobile connection for your construction site
The locations of construction sites are of course temporary, often for a few months and up to a maximum of one year. The costs of constructing a fibre optic network or another fixed line in a construction site are often extremely high, which is why construction companies are increasingly opting for a temporary internet solution. The advantage of these temporary solutions is that they are mobile and can easily be moved to other construction sites. With these mobile connections your employees can carry out their work in a normal way, from organizing construction drawings to completing time sheets and work schedules. In addition, you can provide your building site with camera security, carry out inspections and recordings via digital applications, and you can set up a secure VPN internet connection between various construction sites or between a construction site and the head office.
What are your Challenges in Construction Connectivity?
Always being connected is essential in construction
In construction. it is essential to be connected to head office anytime, anywhere to ensure effective operations. Overseeing operational activities is vital to meet deadlines and complete projects on time. Unfortunately, construction companies often work in locations where wired connectivity is not available, making constant and reliable connectivity difficult to achieve.
This problem is exacerbated by the need to carry out temporary installations in remote locations. These installations are often not used permanently and the cost of installing wired connecions is not feasible. This makes finding a reliable solution for setting up a network on site essential.
Moreover, construction sites are notoriously challenging environments. Dust, dirt, vibrations, extreme temperatures and other environmental factors make it difficult for network equipment to function properly. As a result, network failure can lead to operational problems and delays.
Peplink provides innovative and reliable solutions to these challenges. With Hot Failover there is always a constant connection to headquarters thanks to the use of multiple WANs. Peplink's 5G routers provide speed and reliability for streaming surveillance images and other critical data, even in remote locations where temporary installations are in place.
