Case study: Derwent Living

CableCom increases demand for Derwent Living accommodation.

Derwent Living, a market-leading provider of high quality, affordable accommodation, wanted to make their accommodation as attractive as possible to prospective clients. However, they did not want to face an initial capital outlay.

Why they chose CableCom Access Technologies

We offer high-speed, IPTV and IP telephony -all over one network.
Our no-capital outlay funding model meant Derwent Living could provide modern communication and entertainment systems to tenants' bedrooms without facing initial costs.
This made the project affordable and cost-effective.

Our solution

We provided networking for student and key worker accommodation at Derwent Living, and now over 1,500 rooms across the East Midlands benefit from high-speed Internet access and the latest entertainment systems. We installed systems into existing buildings and worked with main contractors to supply networks into new-build projects. Automated registration means end-users can sign up without calling on help from Derwent Living and can be on-line in less than 7 minutes. Our 10-year maintenance and helpdesk service means they can rely on a fail-safe network at all times. There is now increased demand for Derwent Living accommodation.

"CableCom Access Technologies installed the networks with the minimum of disruption, even though some accommodation was already being lived in".
