Amillan bowls over Edgbaston with comms rollout
Solihull VAR catches contract with legendary cricket ground
Solihulll VAR Amillan has sealed a deal to implement a new comms infrastructure at Edgbaston Cricket Ground.
The Birmingham stadium is currently undergoing major redevelopment work (artist's impression pictured), which is due to be completed by July. Amillan has been working alongside Hulse Electrical Mechanical Engineering Services to install the comms gear. The installation is built on a mix of fibre-optic and copper cabling and will house more than 1,000 access points.
Phil Beale, the VAR's construction account director, said: "Amillan is very proud to have been selected to fulfil the contract at Edgbaston, a prestigious project in our home city. We recognise the complete dependence upon an efficient and reliable IT infrastructure."
Edgbaston is home to Warwickshire County Cricket Club (WCCC) and is also used for England test matches and one-day internationals. It has played host to numerous notable encounters over the years, including England's famous two-run victory over Australia in 2005 – the closest ever Ashes match.
Phil Macdonald, WCCC project director, said: "A high-performance ICT infrastructure is an essential component in the operation of any world-class stadium and central to the successful delivery of events. The infrastructure being installed by Amillan enables us to meet these demands and means that we can compete on level terms with other venues around the world."
