Luxury London store Fortnum and Mason has gone
toAlfred McAlpine IT Servicesto deploy
a fixed and wireless network as part of a £24m store
refurbishment.
The network will allow the store to easily move cash desks and
displays for different seasons and during sale times.
The upgrade and three year maintenance contract will support and
unite all Fortnum and Mason's existing systems, including
EPOS, offering wireless capabilities and support for new
technologies.
The project will move Fortnum and Mason's existing systems onto
one secure, resilient network capable of supporting technologies
such as
IP telephony in the future.
The new structured cabling infrastructure for the front of house
and back office will support a more modern, up-to-date store with
wireless access points and a secure network for critical
information to reside.
Mahshid Rafizadeh, interim head of IT at Fortnum and Mason,
said, "Alfred McAlpine - IT Services has designed a future proof
local area network with structured cabling that will benefit our
business, staff and customers alike."
The Cisco-based network uses the Brand-Rex Cat6Plus Structured
Cabling System.
