Request a callFirstly, who is using it, and what is it used for? Are there many more users, or connected devices or have things slowed down recently? Secondly, what are you aiming to achieve by upgrading? Thirdly, when, and how was it originally installed, and what equipment was used?
We can ask a lot of questions about speeds and performance, but the best thing to do is book a Network Survey Health Check.
Especially if any of the following are considerations:
- Fix existing Wireless / WiFi with issues
- Remove Bandwidth Bottlenecks
- Extend or Increase the Coverage Area
- Future Proof as much as possible
- Upgrade PoE capability for VoIP, CCTV & Wireless
A Network Survey Health Check will identify whether or not we can re-use or upgrade any existing equipment and technology or services.
Project Gigabit Also, the Gigabit Voucher Scheme, was relaunched in the last Budget (2021) and you may be eligible, dependent upon location. There are three main eligibility criteria, whether an SME, rural location and can you double your Bandwidth capacity?

Super Deduction
On a more time sensitive basis, and with the advice of your Accountants; in the 2021 Budget there is the Super-Deduction tax break, providing significant relief against investment in Plant & Machinery. As far as our limited research goes, claims may include Fibre optic cabling, wiring, Computer equipment & Servers, Software licences but not Cloud Services currently, Integral features of buildings such as lifts, air-conditioning, electrical systems, Demolition of old or redundant plant and machinery, plus installation of Solar Panels.
In theory, especially if funded by a lease purchase, providing ordered and installed before March 2023, relief on the entire project would carry forward into the following year too, but please check with your Accountant as interpretation may differ.
October 2021 Budget Update
Chancellor Rishi Sunak - “I’m announcing today, for one year, a new 50% business rates discount for businesses in the retail, hospitality, and leisure sectors. Pubs, music venues, cinemas, restaurants, hotels, theatres, gyms.” Any eligible company can claim a discount on their bills of 50%, up to a maximum of £110,000. Sunak said that is a business tax cut worth almost £1.7 billion.
Government measures include: introducing a new revaluation cycle that will be delivered from 2023; a new investment relief to encourage businesses to adopt green technologies like solar panels. There will be a new ‘business rates improvement relief’. From 2023, firms will be able to make property improvements, and, for 12 months, pay no extra business rates.
Yes, is the answer, it is the next generation of wireless standard, giving better speeds, as well as performance in terms of handling more devices and connected users in congested areas, as well as using less power of connected devices, extending battery life and just sheer volume of the throughput and efficiency of data. Most WiFi devices or networks that are a few years old, are likely to be using either WiFi 4 (802.11n) released in 2009 or WiFi 5 (802.11ac) released in 2014
The leisure industry must provide good quality WiFi services to remain competitive, continually review and reinvest, otherwise it will be left behind, like the equivalent of a slow dial-up Internet service when always on, super-fast broadband was first available.
‘Demand for more, faster, everywhere, and for little or nothing will not diminish.’
Fortunately, as each WiFi standard evolves, the capability of delivery, at greater speeds to a larger number, jumps forward every few years. So, invest in WiFi 6 now, just on speed alone, it is 40% quicker than WiFi 5 based on a single connected device, but it is the way it handles many multiple devices that is the significant leap forward.
What version is your WiFi?
Don’t get stuck in the dark ages of dial-up, even if it is free for your customers as they won’t appreciate it, may even resent it!
The bigger the jump forwards you can make in terms of technology, capabilities, and speed, the longer the solution will remain current and fit-for-purpose and will support the delivery of future bandwidth increases.
