Desks can be moved in a day. Your internet connection might not be. If your business is relocating, telecom planning should begin well before moving day.
Connectivity Should Be Part of Your Moving Plan
It’s easy to assume that broadband can simply be transferred when you move office.
In reality, the services available at your new premises may be completely different from those at your existing location.
Installation times can also vary, particularly where new infrastructure or engineering work is required.
What Should You Plan?
Internet connectivity – Find out what broadband, Full Fibre and leased-line options are available.
Installation dates – Make sure your connection will be ready before employees arrive.
Telephone numbers – Check whether your existing business numbers can move with you.
Phone system – Decide whether moving premises is the right opportunity to move to cloud telephony.
Wi-Fi – Plan coverage around the new office rather than assuming a single router will be sufficient.
Backup connectivity – Consider 5G or another temporary connection if your permanent service won’t be ready in time.
Avoid Moving-Day Surprises
Your employees need connectivity from the moment they arrive at the new office.
Starting the conversation early gives you time to compare options, arrange installations and test services before the move.
It also provides time to put temporary connectivity in place if permanent services are delayed.
