Find Every Telecom, I.T, & Solar Product with Miketel Data Networks Ltd.
Case Study: Projects we've recently completed for our clients and customers.
Case Study 1: SD-WAN Deployment for a Professional Services Firm.
Client: A law firm with 5 offices across the South of England, employing 200+ staff.
Challenge: The firm's MPLS network was expensive, inflexible, and nearing contract renewal. They needed a more cost-effective, resilient solution to support their increasing use of cloud-based case management software and VoIP telephony.
Solution: Miketel was engaged to project manage the transition from MPLS to SD-WAN. We:
Audited existing connectivity and on-premise hardware at all 5 sites.
Designed and procured new SD-WAN appliances and backup 4G failover links.
Coordinated with multiple underlying carriers to install new broadband circuits.
Staged, configured, and deployed all hardware across the 5 sites with minimal disruption.
Provided on-site training for the firm's IT manager on the new management platform.
Result: 40% reduction in annual WAN costs. The firm gained circuit-level failover capability, eliminating previous downtime issues. The project completed within the 6-week window required to exit the old MPLS contract penalty-free.
Case Study 2: Legacy PABX Decommissioning & SIP Trunk Migration for a Manufacturing Plant.
Client: A precision engineering manufacturer with a 300-staff production facility in Yorkshire.
Challenge: The client was still running a 20-year-old on-premise PABX system. The hardware was unreliable, support contracts were becoming prohibitively expensive, and they were struggling to integrate modern call centre features for their sales team.
Solution: Miketel provided a complete voice infrastructure refresh. We:
Audited all existing telephony cabling, handsets, and numbering plans.
Designed a migration path to a hosted VoIP platform with SIP trunking.
Installed new session border controllers and managed network QoS to prioritise voice traffic.
Coordinated the porting of 50+ DDI numbers from the old ISDN30 circuit to the new SIP trunks.
Managed the staged cutover, decommissioning the old PABX and removing redundant equipment.
Result: 60% reduction in monthly telephony costs. The sales team gained access to modern call reporting and queueing features. The plant's maintenance team no longer needed to worry about an obsolete system failing. The project paid for itself within 14 months.
Case Study 3: DAS (Distributed Antenna System) Installation for a City Centre Hotel.
Client: A 4-star hotel in Manchester city centre with 180 rooms and extensive basement conference facilities.
Challenge: Guests and staff consistently reported poor or non-existent mobile signal in basement function rooms, lower-ground bedrooms, and internal corridors. This was impacting guest satisfaction scores and event bookings.
Solution: Miketel was engaged to design and install a neutral-host DAS solution. We:
Conducted a benchmark survey to quantify signal dead zones across all floors.
Designed a passive DAS using a network of wideband antennas and coaxial cabling.
Installed donor antennas on the hotel roof and ran new feeder cabling through service risers.
Commissioned the system, integrating signals from all four major UK MNOs (EE, Vodafone, O2, Three).
Result: 100% mobile coverage across all previously dead zones. Guest satisfaction scores relating to "in-room connectivity" improved by 35% in the following quarter. The hotel now markets its basement events space as "fully connected" – a unique selling point for corporate bookings.
