Shetland is at the same latitude of Norway and the most northern and remote part of the United Kingdom. Its exposed position in the North Sea results in frequent severe storms throughout winter. The Shetland Islands are split into numerous small islands 15 of which are populated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"solutions-i\">The Shetland Islands Council are responsible for all municipal services on the islands including Schools, maintenance of roads, social care, Libraries, Sports Centers, housing, waste management, inter island ferries and even an island based airline.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"color-wt padtso\">Challenge<\/h3>\n<p class=\"solutions-i\"> The Council has a requirement to provide high-speed internet access and services such as VOIP to its schools and council buildings spread across the islands. The council&rsquo;s previous network installed as part of the Pathfinder wire-line project was scheduled to come to the end of its contract in March 2014 at which point it would cost the council nearly \u00a31 million to continue to maintain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"solutions-i\">In 2013 The Network People (TNP) were contracted to replace the communications tower based microwave component of the old network with a new wholly owned network integrating with the councils existing fixed line connections. The network had to be designed and built in 7 months and meet the following extra requirements.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-t-sec padtno\">\n<div class=\"subtext-cs content-j padtno\">\n<ul class=\"stl-disc-wt color-l-wt martno\">\n<li>Faster speeds<\/li>\n<li>Easier deployment and simplified network manageability<\/li>\n<li>Lower infrastructure and maintenance costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"solutions-i\">The council also had to ensure that the new network was up and running before the existing network was decommissioned and was very particular on the physical robustness of the radios, keeping in mind the extremely challenging environment of the islands.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"color-wt padtso\">Solution<\/h3>\n<p class=\"solutions-i\">TNP, a leading wireless engineering organization, was contacted by the council to address it&rsquo;s requirements. TNP after evaluating wireless solutions from vendors such as Redline, Radwin, and Cambium etc. decided to implement Proxim&rsquo;s Tsunami\u00ae series of point to multipoint radios.<\/p>\n<p class=\"solutions-i\"> The proposed solution constituted of a central backbone supported by seven Tsunami\u00ae high performance base station units deployed at telecommunications masts spanning the length of the islands. This backbone is connected to over 20 subscriber units, expanding the network to five islands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"solutions-i\">A critical factor was the unit&rsquo;s ability to survive in the extreme conditions in the Shetlands. Being able to survive 125mph winds was essential.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-min-section\">\n<div class=\"pxm-quote\">\n<div class=\"cs-quote\">\u00ab\u00a0We evaluated Redline, Radwin and Cambium. We felt Proxim offered the best mix of price, build quality and ease of remote administration.\u201d <span class=\"cs-quote-name color-bl-light-w\">\u2013 Paul Astle (TNP Project Manager).<\/span> \u201cThe previous network took over five years to deploy, on the other hand, deploying Proxim&rsquo;s equipment was very easy and we only took 7 months from design to deployment\u00a0\u00bb<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Key Tsunami\u00ae Features<\/h4>\n<p class=\"solutions-i\">The bouquet of advanced features in WORP\u00ae and Proxim&rsquo;s ClearConnect technologies, ensure Tsunami\u00ae radios are able to deliver sustained, predictable and high capacity throughputs even in inimical weathers. In built features such as DDRS, DCS ensure optimal system efficiency and mitigate interference. Additionally, IP67 grade metal enclosure deliver total ingress protection and allow Tsunami\u00ae radios to operate in a wide temperature range from -40\u00b0 to 60\u00b0C (-40\u00b0 to 140\u00b0 F).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"color-wt padtso\">Result<\/h3>\n<p class=\"solutions-i\">The new infrastructure is completely owned by the council. Since the deployment in 2014, the council of Shetlands has reduced its monthly expenditures significantly compared to the previous solution with a ROI within the 1st year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"solutions-i padbz-i\"> The network is integral to inter-department communication, and will be essential in delivering the councils digital by default strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shetland Islands, Scotland Download PDF Proxim Delivers Robust and Reliable Connectivity for Shetland Islands Highlights Customer: Shetland Islands, Scotland Application: Broadband Solution: Tsunami\u00ae Point-to-Multipoint The Council required high-speed internet access and services such as VOIP to its schools and council buildings spread across the islands The solution constitutes of a central backbone supported by seven [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":17975,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-20225","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Case study - Shetland Islands, Scotland - Proxim Wireless<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/proxim.com\/resources\/case-studies\/shetland-islands-scotland\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_FR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Case study - Shetland Islands, Scotland\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Shetland Islands, Scotland Download PDF Proxim Delivers Robust and Reliable Connectivity for Shetland Islands Highlights Customer: Shetland Islands, Scotland Application: Broadband Solution: Tsunami\u00ae Point-to-Multipoint The Council required high-speed internet access and services such as VOIP to its schools and council buildings spread across the islands The solution constitutes of a central backbone supported by seven [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/proxim.com\/resources\/case-studies\/shetland-islands-scotland\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Proxim Wireless\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ProximWireless\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-03-23T09:47:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@Proxim\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Dur\u00e9e de lecture estim\u00e9e\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/proxim.com\\\/resources\\\/case-studies\\\/shetland-islands-scotland\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/proxim.com\\\/resources\\\/case-studies\\\/shetland-islands-scotland\\\/\",\"name\":\"Case study - Shetland Islands, Scotland - Proxim Wireless\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/proxim.com\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-03-01T13:56:43+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-03-23T09:47:10+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/proxim.com\\\/resources\\\/case-studies\\\/shetland-islands-scotland\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"fr-FR\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/proxim.com\\\/resources\\\/case-studies\\\/shetland-islands-scotland\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/proxim.com\\\/resources\\\/case-studies\\\/shetland-islands-scotland\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/proxim.com\\\/fr\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Resources\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/proxim.com\\\/resources\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Case Studies\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/proxim.com\\\/resources\\\/case-studies\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":4,\"name\":\"Case study &#8211;
