Telent has been appointed by National Highways to operate and maintain its Corporate Wide Area Network (WAN), enabling collaboration and digital security across the company’s facilities.
As well as providing the WiFi infrastructure for all National Highways staff, the Corporate Network Service connects and supports crucial operational systems across over 130 National Highways sites, including regional operations centres, satellite offices, and depots.
Telent will help to ensure greater collaboration between these strategic sites by providing a secure, robust, and flexible network, with maximum network availability – critical in connecting those people who keep traffic on the UK’s motorways and A-roads flowing safely. Telent will also be providing enhanced network security monitoring, enabling National Highways to better secure its large volumes of data and applications.
“We are proud to have secured the opportunity to work with National Highways on this critical project, ensuring that its corporate network remains secure, resilient, and capable of supporting operations across its network of sites,” said Nigel Weldon, Highways Business Development Director at Telent. “The road networks are the backbone of this country with countless people and businesses relying on them every day, so it’s vital that governing bodies such as National Highways have the resilient IT infrastructure needed to ensure our roads are flowing freely and safely.”
“We chose Telent to manage our Corporate Network Services following a successful competitive tender process. As one of our strategic suppliers in Digital Services, I am excited to be working with Telent on this key area of our connectivity strategy,” said Craig Bromage, Head of Infrastructure and Platforms for National Highways.
