Overview:

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) is a leading Japanese multinational banking and financial services institution owned by Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. Headquartered in Yurakucho, Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan, SMBC operates globally across retail, corporate, and investment banking sectors, offering innovative financial solutions.

The Challenge

SMBC planned to expand its office space by setting up a new workspace on the same floor adjacent to its existing office in BKC. The customer required a high-end networking infrastructure with long-term sustainability and reliability. The key challenges included:

Workstation Connectivity: Each workstation needed two LAN nodes – one for primary data and another for redundancy.
Wi-Fi Infrastructure: Ceiling-mounted LAN nodes were required for seamless Wi-Fi connectivity, with two nodes designated for each Wi-Fi access point.
Project Coordination: The installation process had dependencies on multiple teams, including civil, architectural, electrical, and fire safety teams, leading to constrained timelines.
Furniture Delays: Late furniture deliveries posed challenges in timely cable routing and installation.
Workstation Modifications: Last-minute changes in workstation layouts required flexible cabling solutions.

The Solution

To address these challenges, our team implemented a structured networking solution using high-performance Cat6A cabling. Our approach included:

24/7 Installation: Working in day and night shifts to meet tight project timelines and accommodate dependencies on other teams.
Adaptive Planning: Coordinating with furniture vendors to integrate cable partitions within workstations, ensuring efficient cable management.
Seamless Execution: Despite workspace modifications, our team swiftly adapted to changes, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity and compliance with SMBC’s high standards.

Outcome & Benefits
