Built for the realities of busy construction sites
Construction projects need internet that can be installed quickly, perform reliably and adapt as the site changes. Our solutions are designed for temporary environments where fixed lines are too slow, too rigid or simply unavailable.
Fixed-line broadband and leased-line installations can take weeks or, on more complex sites, months where surveys, wayleaves, civils or new infrastructure are required. We bypass those delays, getting your site fully operational in as little as 48 hours using 4G/5G, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), line-of-sight wireless and hybrid technologies.
We work with construction companies across the UK including Bovis Homes, Redrow, United Utilities and the NHS, designing and deploying connections that hold up through every phase of a project.
- Site offices and welfare cabins
- VoIP phones and office communications
- CCTV and remote monitoring systems
- Cloud-based project management and BIM tools
- Contractor and supplier coordination
- Temporary compounds and changing work areas
Why construction sites struggle with WiFi (and how we fix it)
Poor connectivity on construction sites is not inevitable. The causes are predictable, and with the right setup, every one of them is fixable.
-
No fixed line available
Many construction sites need to be operational before fibre, a leased line or other fixed connectivity is installed. We provide fast wireless alternatives so site offices, CCTV and essential systems can get online while permanent infrastructure is unavailable or still being delivered.
-
Remote or difficult locations
Housing developments, utility works and infrastructure projects often start in locations where fixed broadband is limited or unavailable. We assess mobile coverage, nearby connectivity options and site conditions, then use the most suitable combination of 4G/5G, Fixed Wireless Access, line-of-sight wireless or satellite.
-
Multiple systems on one connection
Construction sites often run CCTV, VoIP, video calls, cloud project-management platforms, BIM and large drawing or CAD file transfers over the same connection. We design the network around those requirements, with sufficient bandwidth and traffic prioritisation to keep critical systems performing when the site is busy.
-
Temporary compounds and changing layouts
Site layouts change as projects move through different phases, with offices, welfare cabins, compounds and active work areas often relocating or expanding. We design the network so access points and connectivity can be moved, extended or reconfigured as the site develops, while minimising disruption.
-
Pressure to stay operational
Poor connectivity can affect communications, reporting, security systems and overall programme delivery, creating delays and additional costs across a project. A reliable connection keeps critical site systems and teams working when they need them.
-
Need for support, not just hardware
Construction teams need a provider that can advise, deploy and actively support a working solution, not just drop off a router and leave. We monitor your connection remotely and are available 24/7.
What our construction site internet can connect
Our construction site broadband solutions cover every operational area, from the first day on site through to practical completion.
Site Offices and Welfare Cabins
Keep project managers, engineers and admin teams connected to email, video calls, cloud platforms, BIM, project drawings and systems such as Procore and Autodesk. Separate WiFi can also be provided for welfare cabins, helping keep staff access apart from business-critical site systems where required.
CCTV and Site Security
Connect CCTV cameras, remote monitoring, cloud recording and access-control systems alongside the rest of your site network. We account for the upload bandwidth and continuous data demands of CCTV when designing the connection, so security systems don't have to compete with video calls, cloud platforms and other critical site traffic.
Remote and Rural Developments
Connect rural developments, new-build sites and infrastructure projects where fixed broadband is unavailable or still being delivered. Depending on local coverage and site conditions, we can use 4G/5G, Fixed Wireless Access, line-of-sight wireless or satellite to provide the most practical connection for the project.
Temporary Compounds
Connect temporary site compounds from the start of a project, including offices, welfare units, security systems and shared working areas. The network can then be extended, relocated or reconfigured as the compound and wider site develop.
Renovation and Refurbishment
Get temporary internet in place quickly for live buildings undergoing phased works, where operational continuity is critical and disruption to existing occupants must be minimised.
Utility and Infrastructure Works
Keep field teams, monitoring systems and reporting tools connected on utility and infrastructure projects where sites are spread across wide geographic areas.
Internet options for construction sites
The right solution depends on your site location, signal availability, timescales and how the network will be used. We recommend the best-fit technology for your project rather than a one-size-fits-all product.
Bonded 4G / 5G Broadband
Rapid to deploy and ideal for construction sites where speed, flexibility and minimal fixed infrastructure matter. Multiple mobile connections can be bonded for greater capacity and resilience, with external antennas used where needed to improve signal performance.
Setup: same day to 48 hours. Speeds: up to 300 Mbps (5G). Contracts: rolling monthly.
Line-of-Sight Wireless
High-speed broadband delivered from a nearby fixed point using directional antennas. A strong option for remote sites where mobile signal is unreliable or where higher, more consistent speeds are required.
Setup: 3 to 5 days. Speeds: up to 1 Gbps. Ideal for: rural and semi-rural sites.
Hybrid Solutions
Combine multiple connectivity sources such as 4G/5G, line-of-sight and satellite to reduce reliance on a single connection. Automatic failover can switch traffic to a secondary link if the primary connection fails, helping keep CCTV, VoIP, cloud platforms and other critical site systems connected.
Recommended for: sites where downtime has direct cost implications.
LEO Satellite Broadband
Low Earth Orbit satellite broadband can connect construction sites where fixed infrastructure, mobile coverage and line-of-sight wireless are not practical options. It is particularly useful for remote projects where terrestrial connectivity is limited or unavailable.
Setup: 24 to 48 hours. Ideal for: offshore, highland and deep rural projects.

How we get your site connected
Brief
We learn about your site, timeline, layout and which systems need to stay connected throughout the project.
Assess
We assess signal coverage for your specific postcode and recommend the best-fit technology for speed, resilience and practical installation.
Deploy
Equipment is configured and installed for your site offices, cabins, CCTV or wider network coverage, typically within 48 hours.
Support
We monitor and support the solution remotely, with expert UK-based help available 24/7 whenever your connectivity needs change.
Adapt
As the project evolves the setup can scale, move or be upgraded to match new layouts, phases and operational priorities.
Construction site internet vs fixed broadband and mobile hotspots
Fixed broadband and leased lines can provide excellent permanent connectivity, but installation lead times can make them impractical when a construction site needs to get online quickly. Consumer mobile hotspots are faster to deploy, but typically lack the coverage, resilience, network management and support required for business-critical site operations.

Construction site security: The ultimate guide
Read GuideSecurity is one of the biggest threats for construction sites, with the cost of theft reaching an estimated £800M a year. Expensive equipment and materials make construction sites a popular target for burglaries, but they’re also at risk of vandalism, cyberattacks and other security breaches. Treating security as a priority is essential for ensuring the […]

How to create a construction communication plan
Read GuideCommunication is sometimes overlooked in construction projects, but it plays a vital role in keeping projects on track and teams aligned. Unlike office-based staff, construction workers spend most of the day away from a screen — which means communication requires deliberate planning rather than assumed infrastructure. When information can’t be shared quickly and effectively, delays […]
