By deploying a Wi-Fi-first solution, Covéa Insurance’s 800 employees at their head offices in Halifax, Yorkshire benefit from a reliable silent network that prioritizes WiFi over cellular connections for voice, SMS, and data traffic across six stories.

Covéa Insurance suffered from unreliable connectivity due to the thick walls in its listed Victorian building.
Originally, Covéa Insurance’s requirements for its network solution included streamlined access to Wi-Fi, user visibility, remote access to fix issues, and a future-proofed service. Axians’ hands-on approach, together with its partner Actemium, prioritized the preservation of the listed building.
