Emergency 5G Bonded Network Keeps Nissan’s London Office Launch on Track Amid ISP Delays

Overview

• Industry: Automotive & Corporate Infrastructure
• Objective: Provide a rapid, high-performance internet solution to support Nissan’s London relocation, ensuring full access to corporate systems while bypassing major ISP provisioning delays.
• Context: With a fixed move-in date and a global IT environment to integrate, Nissan required a resilient, secure network that could be deployed within days — without compromising on speed or data security.
  ‍

Challenge

• Critical ISP Delays: The planned ISP service installation faced long lead times, threatening to postpone the London office’s operational launch.
• Enterprise Network Integration: Nissan’s internal systems demanded a secure, “on-net” connection to their global network through existing Cisco infrastructure.
• Rapid Deployment Under Pressure: Connectivity needed to be live before staff arrival, delivering near-gigabit throughput with enterprise-level encryption and reliability.
• Long-Term Stability: Though designed as a temporary solution, the network needed to sustain daily operations for an extended period without degradation or intervention.
  ‍

Solution

• Bonded 5G Architecture: Delivered a multi-SIM bonded 5G service to aggregate bandwidth across several cellular networks, ensuring consistent high-speed performance and resilience.
• IPSec Site-to-Site Configuration: Configured a secure, encrypted tunnel between the London site and Nissan’s global data centres, allowing staff to operate as if directly connected to headquarters.
• Collaborative Integration: Worked alongside Nissan’s global IT team to ensure seamless compatibility with existing Cisco LAN and network security protocols.
• Scalable, Managed Service: The bonded 5G network was continuously monitored and optimised, maintaining near-gigabit speeds and ensuring consistent performance during peak business hours.
  ‍

Outcome

• On-Time Launch: Nissan’s London office opened as scheduled, with immediate, secure access to global systems.
• Enterprise-Grade Performance: Achieved near-gigabit throughput with stable latency, supporting data-heavy applications and communications.
• Sustained Reliability: The bonded 5G network operated seamlessly for over nine months without requiring any additional infrastructure changes.
• Business Continuity Assured: The rapid deployment mitigated ISP risk, preserving project timelines and maintaining full operational productivity.
  ‍

Highlights

• Emergency deployment of bonded 5G connectivity delivering near-gigabit speeds.
• IPSec tunnelling for fully secure access to Nissan’s corporate network.
• Nine months of uninterrupted service, exceeding temporary deployment expectations.
• Collaborative integration with Nissan’s global infrastructure and Cisco LAN environment.
