Windsor Court
SCCI Alphatrack and 4Fibre deploy a dark fibre network at Windsor Court, London.
The Development
Situated moments from Hyde Park's green spaces and Westbourne Grove's collection of boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants, Windsor Court boasts an enviable location in London's Bayswater district.
Built between 1900 and 1910 in a neighbourhood known for it's allure and prestige, the property offers 39 well-appointed apartments across nine storeys.
The Challenge
In the midst of Windsor Court's recent refurbishment, a critical gap emerged: no internet service providers (ISPs) were ready or able to service the property ahead of the works. This presented a unique opportunity for a forward-thinking connectivity solution that would preserve the building's aesthetic integrity while future-proofing its digital infrastructure.
The brief was simple: (quickly) deploy a dark fibre network that maintained the aesthetic and fabric of this beautiful property, implementing infrastructure once—not multiple times.
4Fibre offered the perfect solution.
The Delivery
Collaborating with valued partners, Freshwater (freeholders), Arc Partners (consultants), and sister company 4Fibre, SCCI Alphatrack (SCCIA) swiftly mobilised to:
- Conduct a comprehensive building survey
- Design a low-footprint dark fibre network
- Guarantee zero compromise or delays to the building's ongoing renovation
SCCIA deployed a fibre service via a single distribution point with all apartments wired back to the BT upturn in the basement—enabling four ISPs to service the building without additional cabling requirements (and the associated disruption).
All core drilling, containment, and fire stopping were managed and completed by SCCI Alphatrack, and on completion the network was fully spliced, tested and provided as-built sign-offs to the consultant.
The completed work enables any ISP wishing to service this scheme, to go live on the same day they bring their feed into the building—dramatically reducing engineering time and disruption to the building.
The Result
By thinking ahead and acting decisively, SCCI Alphatrack and 4Fibre transformed a potential connectivity challenge into an opportunity. Residents now enjoy lightning-fast internet and future-proofed digital infrastructure.
A testament to intelligent, considerate network deployment
Arc Partners have been working with SCCI for the past few years, deploying their 4Fibre solution across various client properties—we have found them to be extremely reliable, thorough, and conscientious. I have conducted several site visits with the team and the quality of workmanship has always been to a high level. We look forward to continuing working together in the future.
