The Royal Hospital Chelsea is a true hospital in the original sense of the word, providing hospitality and a home for over 300 members of the Armed Forces, fondly known as the Chelsea Pensioners.

Iconic architecture surrounds pristinely maintained grounds that host the RHS Chelsea Flower Show annually. With the facilities being upgraded to meet the needs of the 21st Century, RHC has embarked on many successful projects, amongst others delivering a solid site wide Wi-Fi network.

Contacting Haptic to propose a WiFi solution that would provide coverage for the Chelsea Pensioner’s many mobile devices was ICT Manager, Isabel Prieto-Cordero.

Of all the many points we had to consider, the building itself was key. Any of the works had to take account of the listed structure. From its distinctive red brick exterior to its beautifully designed interiors the Royal Hospital remains a remarkable and historical building.

Haptic were excellent to work with, they clearly know the technology being used.

How We Helped

Maximising the coverage and user experience whilst using considerably less hardware than its rivals made Ruckus the obvious choice. Deploying a ZoneDirector 1100 series alongside a number of 7363 Access points meant that even in an environment that was densely constructed a strong signal was received by all intended.

Taking the up most care and attention to the interior aesthetic led to the solution being installed by Haptic with no disruption or alteration to the building or its occupants.

Haptic’s projects have continuously been many and varied, however the solution we created and working with the IT Staff at RHC (not forgetting of course the Chelsea Pensioners themselves) has led to this being one of our favourite successes to date.

I have worked with Haptic Networks for the last 2-3 years, from a google specialist, to supplier and to now a network redesign. They have been an amazing company to rely on for any queries. Massive thank you to Kenya who has been one of the best account managers I have dealt with.

Haptic Networks delivered Oswestry School a Googe Voice Phone system. This has allowed the school to become flexible regarding telephone calls. The mobile/PC app functionality allows calls to be taken off-site while reducing the need for Desk phones on-site. Additionally, they have provided the school with a cloud-based monitoring system (securly), allowing us to conform with the DFE's online safety policies. They also supplied the school with a "Dark Web" monitoring tool free of charge. Overall an excellent company to deal with excellent sales and technical support methods to its customers.

I'm not one to usually write reviews but Haptic are truly deserving of one! They're a knowledgeable, down to earth bunch who are always happy to help - no matter how big or small the issue/query may be. A big shout-out (and sorry!) goes to Kenya too - who we're constantly bothering with emails and calls!

Absolutely cracking IT company, services and people. They never over promise but always over deliver. It is so refreshing to feel valued as a customer and not like you are just another number. It is rare these days to always have a knowledgeable member of staff available to answer any questions rather than dealing with a bot. Thanks Haptic Networks and all the team for being exemplary!
