Another Sailing Success Story

Exeter based IP Office Ltd was amongst the very first to congratulate Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy on the news that London had won right to host the 2012 Olympic Games.

The academy is located at one of the country's top sailing venues and will be the location for the prestigious yacht racing events during the games.

When it came to choosing a company that could install a new world class communications system, the academy put their faith in IP Office Ltd.

The new Lottery funded Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy needed a company and a product with reliable and flexible technical abilities. The Exeter based firm was proud to be able to meet the challenge.

Mark Collett Sales Director IP Office Ltd said: "We are very proud to be associated with the academy. This is an exciting project for us; we are looking forward to helping the academy manage the huge increase in their communications demands as they cater for more and more competitions."

During 2006, the ISAF will be holding the World Sailing Championships at the academy which will mean the world's press will communicate from the Dorset venue to offices across the globe, via the IP Office system.

IP Office Ltd has recently completed the installation of Avaya IP Office communications platform and structured cabling for the academy.

John Tweed of the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy commented: "The specification for a brand new communications infrastructure for a brand new purpose built centre was comprehensive and complex. IP Office Ltd demonstrated a complete understanding of our requirements which entailed - day to day centre management, voice and data press facilities and even the connection of a weather station located on the outer harbour breakwater."
