Case Study: Avon and Somerset Police achieves secure, scalable Wi‑Fi across 58 sites with SCC and Fortinet

Avon and Somerset Police cuts Wi‑Fi support by 37K a year with SCC

The Avon and Somerset Police faced challenges with an end-of-life Wi-Fi estate that suffered from inconsistent coverage, connection dropouts, and limited capacity for modern device usage. SCC supplied a Fortinet-based Wi-Fi solution to address these issues and provide a secure, scalable network across 58 sites.

SCC delivered the solution through detailed scoping, desktop Wi-Fi surveys, and the supply of approximately 800 access points. The results included improved performance, seamless roaming, and minimal disruption to end users. The project also delivered significant cost savings, including a reduction in annual support costs by roughly £37,000, achieved through the police force's self-delivery of configuration supported by SCC's flexible resources.
