University of Cambridge deploys Lanode's FMUX solution creating an 'Industrial Scale' network, generating full ROI in 4 months

Project Benefits

Lanode provided “valuable assistance in obtaining best of breed technology and solutions.”

University of Cambridge has met the project objective of maximising cost efficiencies, as the solution from Lanode, that installed transmission equipment along with the existing fibre infrastructure facilitated “capitalisation on our own fibre infrastructure investment.” The University realised a full return on investment within four months of the upgrade and anticipates a “saving of more than £300,000 per annum on leased line and operational costs.” Furthermore, the Cambridge team plans to grow the networks capacity with the FMUX deployment, capitalising on the vestigial capacity of its old voice network whilst simultaneously installing the open standards SiP-VoIP system. The University is already carrying some of the pilot VoIP traffic via the FMUX Ethernet module, realising immediate telecommunications savings.

Since the FMUX-01A units were used to create 125 separate circuit paths the University will be able to deliver additional extension capacity at any of its sites on demand, rather than having to worry about circuit lead times, power levels, functionality and access.

Because the new system is far less susceptible to disruption and far quicker to restore, “users have seen a significant improvement in service to their handsets.”
