Case Study: KBR achieves seamless high‑capacity student Wi‑Fi, £17k licensing savings and new revenue streams with Cambium Networks cnPilot

KBR - Customer Case Study

KBR, a provider of fast, reliable Wi‑Fi and intelligent network security solutions, needed a robust Wi‑Fi system for the Joplings student housing project: 140 en‑suite apartments, hundreds of devices (up to ~900 simultaneous connections), seamless onboarding, per‑student network isolation, roaming and an easy way to offer paid bandwidth upgrades. KBR partnered with Cambium Networks (using cnPilot) in a world‑first deployment alongside RG Nets to meet these demanding requirements.

Cambium Networks supplied almost 50 cnPilot e410 access points managed via the cnMaestro cloud platform and integrated with an RG Nets Gateway and a 500Mbps leased line, enabling a single SSID with Dynamic VLANs, Virtual Residential Gateways and zero‑touch self‑provisioning for students. The solution was deployed in four days, saved the client £17k in licensing fees over six years and delivers ongoing savings of £2.8k per year plus new revenue from user upgrades, reduced support calls and simplified, secure network management.
