Improving access to cabling resources
With every critical IT system at Heathrow Airport relying on the organisation's cabling infrastructure, it must have a reliable and flexible environment. As the UK's busiest airport, cabling teams at Heathrow face a unique set of challenges. To improve access to cabling resources, the consortium resonsible for Heathrow's IT systems needed a new cabling specialist.
The team consistently goes above and beyond to deliver what we need so we can have complete confidence in the cabling infrastructure.
