PwC Headquarters—Belfast, Northern Ireland
PwC counts on—and gets—network assurance
PwC, a global professional services firm, has counted on CommScope’s infrastructure solutions for more than 23 years. After choosing CommScope’s Category 6A structured cabling for its Belfast, Northern Ireland, headquarters, the company hasn’t experienced any downtime. This superior and reliable performance ensures continuity in PwC’s operations.
Challenges
- 10-story, 21,367 square meters headquarters at Merchant Square in Belfast is one of the most digitally advanced spaces in the city.
- This global center of innovation required reliable infrastructure that delivered proven performance to support the demands of a 3,000-employee workforce.
- The COVID-19 pandemic and global supply chain disruption could’ve delayed PwC from moving ahead with its Belfast office, but instead it expedited the project.
Solutions
- PwC required a robust, highly reliable, high bandwidth end-to-end solution that would last at least 25 years.
- This had to provide full uptime and support up to 10G internet.
- The company chose CommScope’s Cat 6A fiber and copper cabling portfolio for a complete infrastructure platform.
Benefits
- From the data center to in-building connectivity, CommScope’s open and flexible architecture supports PwC’s current and future system and application requirements.
- CommScope Cat 6A cabling supports the building’s networking, security, audiovisual and vending systems; smart lockers; and cafeteria.
- CommScope’s multiple global locations with local manufacturing advantage and industry-renowned regional field expertise provide an extra advantage for companies that face demanding schedules and other challenges.
- CommScope’s PartnerPRO® network, an exclusive association of trained and certified consultants, installers and distributors, helped to deliver a successful deployment.
