Case Study: S&O Construction Services bridges two buildings with NETGEAR AIRBRIDGE

S&O bridges the gap with AIRBRIDGE

S&O Construction Services, a Hudson Valley-based construction firm, faced a significant challenge in connecting its main office to a warehouse located 300 meters away. Damaged underground conduit made traditional cabling prohibitively expensive, and standard WiFi and cellular options were not viable solutions. The company believed it would never have internet access at the remote building until their managed service partner, Integrated Enterprise Solutions, proposed a wireless solution using the NETGEAR AIRBRIDGE system.

The solution involved a simple point-to-point installation with a NETGEAR AIRBRIDGE unit at each location, connected to NETGEAR switches and wireless access points. This provided a high-speed, reliable link that functioned like a wired connection. The implementation was fast and easy, ultimately giving the warehouse full internet access and networked phones. As a result, S&O Construction achieved its goal, with the CFO stating the NETGEAR product was the perfect solution for a problem he thought was unsolvable, saving the company considerable expense compared to alternative methods.
