Case Study: Bowen Engineering

 

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

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.

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.
