Overcoming Rural Connectivity Challenges With Brdy’s Starlink Business Solution
Company Details:
- Company name: Suerte Consulting Ltd
- Industry: Ensuring the implementation of projects and programs
- Location: Ty Cerrig, Cefn Coch, Welshpool
Challenge:
David, the Director of Suerte Consulting Ltd, faced significant challenges working remotely due to an unreliable broadband connection at his home. This poor connectivity forced him to travel 16 miles to town to complete his assignments, resulting in daily costs of £150 for desk and internet access. This arrangement was not only inconvenient and costly but also particularly difficult for David, who is disabled.
What the problem is:
David’s home is located in a rural area in Wales with hilly terrain, which obstructs the line of sight necessary for most effective satellite and 4G solutions. Additionally, there is no fixed line broadband available, and the local fibre project had failed. While Brdys geostationary satellite solution was the best and fastest option for David for quite some time, the latency and speeds after priority data were not ideal considering his heavy usage due to the nature of his work.
Solution:
Upon learning about Brdy’s Starlink Business solution, David contacted Brdy and we swiftly transitioned him over from his previous ‘geostationary’ (GEO) satellite solution to the Starlink ‘low earth orbit’ (LEO) solution. This new setup also replaced his twin-line bonded 4G SD WAN link as his primary communication method. Davids’s data requirement meant the 1TB Starlink plan was perfectly suited for his business and domestic usage.
The Impact:
The switch to Starlink resulted in significantly lower latency and improved connection quality and speed, matching David’s data usage needs. This reliable and fast internet connection now allows David to work from home efficiently. He uses the internet primarily for multi-party video conferencing via MS Teams and similar platforms, as well as for data file transfers. Additionally, David is saving £150 per day, which he previously spent on travel and subsistence.
What our client had to say:
“A safe and reliable connection makes working remotely from my home office viable. This saves money and wear and tear on me. Brdy service wrap gives me a helpdesk if I need it and the ability to increase / decrease data package size.”
