A major company in the metalworking sector needed to quickly activate a dedicated connection with maximum performance.
Industry: Metalworking
Region: Piedmont
Number of employees: 1,000 across 4 locations in Italy
Need: Quickly connect one of its locations to a high-performance circuit with symmetrical and 100% guaranteed bandwidth.
Solution: Once the activation time for the dedicated fiber optic cable proved too long, a dedicated carrier-grade radio link with the same performance was promptly installed. After eight months, the fiber optic cable was finally activated, but when the radio link was decommissioned, the customer decided to keep it as a backup, diversifying the route and PoP.
Customer Comments:
“It was undoubtedly a wise choice to speed up the activation time and, above all, to remain connected even in the event of occasional fiber optic outages, which we are well aware of: just last February, we suffered a fiber outage following a landslide near one of our locations, which left us without connection for 40 days. Thanks to Viking for this high-tech project.»
