The challenge
The Wi-Fi infrastructure at 52 Lime Street was no longer fit for purpose. The building relied on legacy Cisco access points that were outdated and unable to support the demands of a modern, high-density working environment.
Users frequently experienced connectivity issues and buffering, particularly when moving between areas.
To ensure reliable, high-performance connectivity and to future-proof the building’s wireless capabilities, a full modernisation of the Wi-Fi network was essential.
The solution
To modernise the wireless infrastructure at 52 Lime Street, OryxAlign deployed over 100 cloud-managed Meraki access points, significantly enhancing speed and coverage across the building. A wireless survey was carried out to map existing signal strength and inform the optimal placement of each device.
Installation was managed by a trusted contractor, who removed the legacy access points and installed the new hardware, making adjustments where necessary to accommodate new mounting plates. An on-site OryxAlign engineer ensured all devices were tested and fully operational throughout the deployment.
Due to the difference in size and shape between the old and new units, minor cosmetic works were required. These included filling and painting around mounting areas to maintain a clean, professional finish, an additional variation added to the project to preserve the building’s appearance.
The benefits
Following the upgrade, visitors to 52 Lime Street now benefit from a fast, stable, and reliable wireless network.
The improved infrastructure enables seamless roaming between access points, ensuring consistent connectivity throughout the building.
Whether in shared spaces or high-traffic areas, users can now stay connected without interruption.
"Following the upgrade of the network infrastructure, the connectivity around site has been greatly improved in speed and reduced numbers of outages. The installation was easy and seamless and the Installation Manager, Billy Raymond, was extremely effective and responsive. Any follow up issues were dealt with in a timely manner and the fabric repairs were completed quicker than anticipated. Overall, a very successful project and delivered by an effective team."
