Established in 1996, Halsion Ltd offers a complete turnkey solution for multi-million-pound projects across the UK. With in-house capabilities spanning mechanical, electrical, public health contracting, and design services, Halsion is trusted to deliver high-quality work across a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, education, and commercial development.
With a head office based in Canterbury, Kent, and approximately 100 staff, Halsion’s ability to deliver complex, high-specification projects on time and on budget depends heavily on fast, secure, and dependable connectivity across both permanent and temporary locations.
Operating in a rural setting, the company faced significant limitations when it came to connectivity. With no access to FTTP and a growing reliance on cloud services, they needed a future-proof internet solution that could keep up with their demands now and as they grow.
Back in 2014, Halsion Ltd were looking for a connectivity provider who could offer rapid deployment and high-speed internet access at their Canterbury head office located in an area where traditional infrastructure was limited.
They needed a partner who could not only deliver reliable internet from day one, but who could also scale with them.
Orbital Net was selected primarily for our ability to deliver a wireless leased line using WiMAX technology. Halsion Ltd also saw the benefit in working with a local ISP.
Our experience and infrastructure allowed us to:
Halsion operates in a highly data-intensive environment, relying on Autodesk Revit, 3D Modelling software for their day-to-day operations. Working with large design files and transferring high volumes of data to and from cloud platforms means a fast, stable, and reliable connection is non-negotiable.
Unfortunately, FTTP wasn’t available at their location, and wireless connectivity alone wasn’t consistent enough to meet the demands of their workflow.
Orbital Net installed a dedicated 1Gb/1Gb leased line to deliver uncontended, symmetrical speeds ensuring their upload and download capabilities are equally powerful.
This was especially important for:
To further enhance resilience, we added a wireless auto-failover backup. In the rare event the primary fibre connection experiences an outage, the system automatically switches over, ensuring that the business stays online with minimal disruption.
We also installed a new 3CX VoIP digital phone platform which is ideal for their office setup.
Our tailored connectivity solution has significantly enhanced the internet performance at the customer’s head office. By implementing a dedicated 1Gb/1Gb leased line, we’ve provided the speed, reliability, and bandwidth needed to support their growing team and data-heavy operations without any disruption to productivity.
The consistent and high-performance connection has enabled their business to scale confidently, knowing that their connectivity can keep pace with demand.
As a local provider, our proximity to their office has been a real advantage. The customer values our shared community roots and the ability to deal with a trusted, nearby team who understands their needs. In addition, they’ve found great benefit in our fully managed service, which means complete peace of mind when it comes to monitoring, maintaining, and supporting their connectivity.
