What Building Site WiFi means here
Building Site WiFi is only useful if it works where you actually are — which is usually the place the mobile networks are weakest and nobody has run a cable to. Our building site wifi is built for exactly that: the coverage arrives configured, links up to itself, and starts working without an engineer or a visit.
Most suppliers of building site wifi rent you a connection and send an invoice. We would rather the coverage earned its keep — so the people using it can pay for it, and you take a share of what it makes. Where charging is not appropriate, run it as an ordinary connection and charge nobody.
What you get
Live in under an hour
Kit arrives configured. Power it up and the site is online.
Moves with you
The same units cover the next job. Nothing is written off when the site closes.
Separate networks for who needs what
Site office, subcontractors and welfare kept apart.
One connection, the whole site
Boxes link to each other, so the ground you can cover is not limited to where the satellite connection lands.
Why we are different
It can pay for itself
Every other supplier rents you internet and invoices you. We install the coverage and let the people using it pay — so it can earn instead of costing. Where that does not suit, run it as a straightforward connection and charge nobody.
It keeps working when the link drops
Whether somebody has paid is decided on the box beside them. Lose the satellite and everyone already online stays online.
Messaging with no internet at all
People message each other across your site even with nothing else working, because it never leaves the ground you are standing on. No competitor offers this.
Nothing buried, nothing left behind
No trenching, no reinstatement and no contract tied to a place you may not be next year. When you are finished it comes with you.
Why building site wifi is hard to get right
Site manager. Cabins need connectivity now; fibre is months away. And the reason it usually disappoints is not the equipment — it is that the place needing coverage was never designed to have any.
We do not depend on the mobile networks
This is the part that matters most, and it is what separates us from almost everybody else. Most temporary connectivity is bonded mobile broadband — several SIMs, tied together, still using the same masts as every phone on your site. When those masts fill up, so does the service sold to you as the answer to them filling up.
We come in by satellite instead. It does not queue behind your crowd, it does not care how many phones are in the field, and it works in places with no mast worth using. Where a wired line or a mobile connection is genuinely better, we will use it — but nothing depends on one.
The mobile networks give up exactly when you need them
Cells are built for the people who live somewhere, not for everybody who turns up at once. Put a crowd on top of one and it saturates: pages stop loading, card machines time out, and everybody blames the venue. A cell that works perfectly on a Tuesday tells you nothing about the Saturday.
A fixed line is the wrong shape for a temporary place
Provisioning takes weeks or months, costs the same whether you use it for a weekend or a year, and stays behind when you leave. For somewhere that exists for a season — or for one weekend — you are buying permanence you will never use.
One connection does not become coverage on its own
Plenty of suppliers will sell you a fast link to one corner of a site. Getting that connection to the far field, the back bar or the top paddock is the actual work, and it is where most setups quietly fall down.
Nobody finds out until it is too late to fix
Coverage is usually promised rather than shown. The first real test is the day itself, which is the worst possible moment to discover that a corner of the site has nothing.
How we cover it
Units arrive already built, tested and joined to your site. On the day somebody gives the first one power and a way out — satellite, a line, or a mobile connection — and the rest find it, link to each other and start working. There is no engineer to book and no laptop to bring.
Because they link to each other, the ground you can cover is not limited to where you can put a dish. Coverage spreads outward and overlaps, so people stay connected as they move rather than dropping between one unit and the next. Add more units and the covered area grows; take some away at the end of the season and the rest carry on.
Everything is visible while it is running: which units are up, how many people are on them, what has been sold and where each one is. If something needs changing you do it from a browser, not from the site.
Plan it before you commit
Draw the ground you need covered on a map and you get the coverage back — where units go, how they reach each other, and what it will take. That happens before you have spent anything, and it means the conversation is about your actual site rather than a generic quote. See how the planning works.
Common questions about building site wifi
How quickly can building site wifi be up and running?
Under an hour on site, because the work happens before it ships. Every unit is built, given its networks and tested by us — so on the day it is a power lead and a switch, not a laptop and an afternoon.
What if there is no line and no mobile signal?
That is the normal case, and what the whole design assumes. Satellite handles the way out, and the units link to each other so one connection reaches ground far beyond it.
Does anything need digging or installing permanently?
No. Nothing is buried, there is no reinstatement, and there is no contract tied to a place you may not be next year.
What happens if the connection drops?
Whoever is already online stays online. Access is decided on the unit beside them rather than somewhere else, so losing the link upstream does not throw everybody off.
