Case Study: Slingshot6 achieves rapid deployment of 1,600 UK vaccination centres with Peplink

Slingshot6 - Customer Case Study

Slingshot6 faced the urgent challenge of supporting the UK’s COVID‑19 vaccination rollout by enabling reliable, scalable network connectivity across hundreds of temporary NHS sites. Working with partners Cellhire and O2, Slingshot6 turned to Peplink — using Peplink’s Pepwave MAX routers and the InControl2 remote management platform — to provide the resilient, easy‑to‑deploy connectivity the programme required.

Peplink’s solution combined Pepwave MAX devices with InControl2 zero‑touch provisioning and failover to Cellhire’s multi‑network mobile data, while Slingshot6 and Frontier BV handled logistics and stock staging for rapid shipment. The result: over 1,600 vaccination centres brought online in a matter of weeks, routers configured remotely and ready in minutes, and a highly resilient mobile connection at scale that supported the NHS vaccination effort. Peplink’s technology delivered measurable speed and reliability gains for the national rollout.
