Bowen Engineering

For Bowen, it was important to instantly deploy a network with access to the Internet and VPN as soon as their team arrives on site. They needed to do so with simplicity in mind whether they’re dealing with the design, migration or the deployment.

With Peplink’s solution in place, Bowen now enjoys highly available, easy to install and maintain network. They have now significantly minimised the impact on construction team start, setup and operational time. The devices are an important factor in providing what the team needs to reduce delays, make accurate forecasts and reliable decisions and lowering overall risks.

Case Study: Bowen Engineering

Bowen Engineering is a general contractor for energy generation, industrial construction, water, wastewater, and performance contracting.

Challenges

The main challenge Bowen has faced time and again is searching for network providers for each new site. This is often a time consuming process since each site could belong to the service area of a different provider and setup lead time is often an unknown factor.

Solution needs to be user friendly, easy to use, moved from site to site, and field proven to work in a stressful industrial environment.

Solutions

The main reason for choosing the Pepwave MAX routers is that they provide the flexibility and choice for them to implement whatever is available and appropriate at each given site.

Pepwave MAX HD2 and HD4. – multiple top-up SIM cards from multiple providers for resilience.

Pepwave MAX 700 – mix up the 4G LTE USB modems with multiple DSL lines for failover or to avoid data overages.

Pepwave MAX On-The-Go – plug and play simplicity with up to 4x 4G LTE USB modems.

Connectivity Challenge

Across the US, Bowen Engineering Corporation has been the self-performing construction contractor of choice for the energy and industrial sector since 1967.

The Peplink Diversity

Depending on the site’s situation, Bowen would deploy Pepwave MAX 700, MAX HD2, MAX HD4 and the MAX On-The-Go. The main reason for choosing the Pepwave MAX series is that they provide the flexibility and choice for them to implement whatever is available and appropriate at each given site.

Connected Work and Beyond

Bowen plans to take advantage of Peplink features and expand their infrastructure to accommodate for instant collaboration via handheld devices. Project data, emails, plans, blueprints can be safely and securely transmitted between personnel, sites and headquarters. Most importantly, they will be able to do this without having to incur unnecessary cost of data plans for each individual device.
