Omnia Student Accommodation

The challenge

Omnia Space are part of the Omnia Property Group, which works across all areas of the property market including serviced offices, block management, commercial property and residential lettings. All Omnia Space student houses and flats are close to the city centre, universities and at the heart of student living.

Omnia needed to install WiFi into its brand new student accommodation building in Sheffield. This network needed to accommodate a large number of simultaneous users and be configured in such a way that only residents would be able to access it.

Our solution

We installed a WiFi network accessible to pre-registered users only, preventing abuse from outside parties. The network accommodates 300 student browsers at any one time and our service includes direct user support to those students, taking the maintenance and troubleshooting responsibility away from accommodation managers.

The result

The result was a secure and carefully restricted network with the added facility of withholding online access to students whose accommodation bills haven’t been paid up to date. The network is fast, reliable and our aftercare and direct support takes hassle away from our client.
