Frontis Housing Group
Frontis Housing Group manages the key worker accommodation at the Countess of Chester NHS Foundation Trust. The accommodation is spread across 5 buildings in the grounds of the hospital and accommodates up to 142 people.
There was no broadband internet connectivity available for these workers. Integrated Network Services Ltd (INS) approached Frontis Housing to provide Internet connectivity over Wi-Fi into this key workers accommodation. The solution means that the key workers, a proportion of which are from overseas are able to use the internet for applications such as Face book, Skype and Email. With more and more activities being dependant on people being on line these Key Workers were becoming increasing isolated.
INS provided the Wi-Fi infrastructure, using as a Bonded ADSL solution, at no cost to Frontis Housing and charges the users a fee for use of the system. The Wi-Fi service covers all of the 5 buildings and full support is given to the users and the service has an excellent availability record. INS operates a help desk to guide users through their set up and any ongoing problems. The main problem said Debbie Roberts of Frontis housing, “is users forgetting their password”. Adding that the service is great from her perspective as that “all we have to provide is a little bit of electricity” she says.
