Hay Castle Trust

Hay Castle is a medieval fortification and 17th-century mansion house in the small town of Hay-on-Wye, with parts of the castle dating back to the early-12th century.
Hay Castle Trust acquired the building for use as a centre for arts, literature and learning, and after extensive refurbishment supported by a National Lottery Heritage Fund and others, the castle opened to the public for the first time in its history in May 2022.

There was a requirement for Wi-Fi throughout the building for visitor and interactive learning.
But the challenges for Wi-Fi were large, with a need to minimise any impact on the building’s internal appearance, and with thick castle walls preventing how-far Wi-Fi signal would be distributed.

So, the search was on for a strong Wi-Fi solution but to be installed with minimal visual impact.
Working with cable infrastructure laid-in during the building’s refurbishment, NTEC Bristol and telco partner Onecom delivered a scheme of Wi-Fi Access points enclosed in recessed window seats and above beams ; in-effect out-of sight.

NTEC chose the Cambium XV2-2 Wi-Fi Access Point for strong signal, and as one of the new breed of Wi-Fi 6 devices, to support exceptional clustering of visitors and students in any one particular area of the castle.

Sara Bowie, Office & Retail Manager for the Trust, said

“We are delighted with the flexibility of the NTEC engineers in delivering this solution in a short timescale for our opening day.
They produced a comprehensive survey and then worked with our available cable infrastructure to deliver a superb solution for our needs.
Wi-Fi throughout the castle is strong and reliable, and the Cambium cnMaestro solution even allowed us to create our own splash page when visitors log-in.
The guys also disguised outdoor Wi-Fi for us, so-that we are also able to provide internet access, host events and take payments on our front lawn.”

Kwan Yick

Based in Newport, South Wales, Kwan Yick are one of the UK’s leading specialist importers and wholesalers of Oriental foods, sauces and packaging materials, distributing to the Chinese catering trade.

Kwan Yick’s recent move to a VoIP telephone system and the recruitment of more staff, meant they needed to overhaul and upgrade their data cabling and switches.

Nick has worked for us on several projects, particularly arranging new data cabling for our VoIP system, and installing a new data cabinet in our warehouse.
He has also been helpful in sourcing new Cisco Meraki equipment. They are reliable, trustworthy and responsive when we need things done, and we hope to work with them in the future.” – Liam Meaker, Financial Controller, Kwan Yick

Continental Corporation

Continental Teves UK, based in South Wales, is part of the global automotive supplier Continental Corporation, producing hydraulic brake calipers and other components for the automotive industry. The company was looking for a reliable enterprise-grade Wi-Fi solution to cover break out and training areas at its plant in Ebbw Vale. Ntec designed and configured a Ruckus Unleashed wireless solution, and provided training and a comprehensive support package.

The Ruckus Unleashed solution is simple to use, and it was easy to add extra access points. We were very pleased with the services that Nick at Ntec provided, and the way he kept us updated throughout the process. We look forward to doing further business together. ” – Bill Molton, Continental Corporation
