How to Set Up Broadband on a Construction Site

Connectivity is one of the most important assets for any business; including construction sites. Having wireless internet and broadband on your construction site can help streamline workflow and reduce the costs—but using a fixed line is often not a good option.

What is construction site broadband?

Our solution uses an industry-grade 4G router to provide your construction site with a WiFi connection. Instead of provisioning a fixed broadband line, you can simply plug the router into a socket on the wall and connect all your devices to it.

Rather than acquiring a fixed line broadband connection—which often take up to 10 days to install and can have a contract length of 24 months—we will issue you with a short term contract, so that when your site is finished, so is your contract.

Construction site broadband hardware

Many people think that the hardware required to set up broadband on a construction site is complicated and expensive. But this is not the case.

With only one piece of industry-leading hardware, you can connect your construction site and provide WiFi for up to 25 devices—including 3 wired connections.

If the 4G signal in your area is poor, or you’re worried about the connection, we can also supply a 4G antenna that plus directly into the back of your router. This antenna brings the outside signal inside and gives you a stronger, more robust connection. This is ideal for more rural construction sites or those using a portable metal cabin.
