A Newcastle IT firm is eyeing further growth in the public sector after securing new contracts to provide network and consultancy expertise to several local authoritie.
Calibre Secured Networks Ltd has been tasked with improving Horsham District Council s wireless network as well as the internet-based telephone services used by council staff and ratepayers across West Sussex. The contract, which is for an undisclosed sum, will also see the Science Central-based firm working to resolve Wi-Fi security protocol problems at the site. This will not only increase system capacity but also enable council employees personal mobile devices to automatically and securely connect to online and email services.
Other new contracts have been secured from Wrexham County Borough Council where Calibre has undertaken a local area and a wide area network review. This included recommendations for network performance improvements, PSN compliance in line with current CESG guidelines and a plan for disaster recovery and business continuity. John Mangan, IT technician at the council, said: We have benefitted from Calibre s excellent service.
