Care Homes

Autism Plus

Autism Plus is a specialist care provider based in Sheffield, operating residential care homes for adults with autism and learning disabilities. Their Thorne House facility in Doncaster provides supported living in a purpose-built environment designed around the specific needs of autistic residents.

The Challenge

Care homes have unique connectivity requirements - staff need reliable access to care management systems, medication records, and communication tools, while residents benefit from connectivity for entertainment and staying in touch with family. Thorne House needed robust WiFi throughout the building, but traditional broadband options at the location were limited and unreliable.

Our Solution

We deployed a dual-connectivity solution combining managed WiFi with 5G internet via Robustel equipment. The 5G service with static IP provides fast, reliable connectivity where fixed-line options fall short. Enterprise WiFi access points deliver coverage throughout the care home, with the network designed to support care operations while keeping residents' connectivity separate and secure.

The Result

Thorne House staff now have reliable access to care management systems and digital records, improving the quality of care they can provide. The 5G connectivity delivers consistent speeds regardless of the location's limited fixed-line options. Residents enjoy reliable internet for entertainment and video calls with family, while the segregated network design ensures operational systems remain secure.
