Picture this—you’re in a remote location in the thick of Pennsylvania’s wilderness. The lush forest and tall mature trees provide the idyllic background for the major renovation of a property being filmed for the Outdoor Channel by the production company behind Renovation Hunters.
The area can only be described as peaceful, miles away from a nearby town and cellular reception. It is the perfect getaway until you realize it can be so much more.
Wasted time and money
Anyone who works in construction can tell you that access to reliable internet on a job site is a well known pain point. It can take anywhere from two to six months and even up to one year to have a network hardline installed. For private remote residences, that may not even be possible at all.
For the construction team working on the latest episode of Renovation Hunters, no internet means achieving what’s possible until someone makes the drive to a nearby town to either put in an online order, call for additional construction help if needed or head to the hardware store and wait for an order to be fulfilled. That alone can take hours to complete, ultimately slowing down construction efforts, not to mention the production of the show.
Despite meticulous pre-planning and preparation, Murphy's Law often seems to hold sway in construction projects. Whether it's a painter, plumber, or electrician, there's always a risk that a subcontractor who was initially committed to completing the job on time, might fall behind. This is where the importance of real-time internet connectivity on the job site becomes crucial. It offers general contractors the agility to adapt quickly and implement backup plans that reduce operational inefficiencies.
For the Renovation Hunters construction and production teams, this project is different.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s reliable internet from a Dejero GateWay
The sound of workers sawing lumber and using nail guns can be heard as the video crew uploads video and edits footage captured at the scene in real-time. In the past, this would have only been possible after the team returned to their hotels at the end of the day and had access to subpar hotel Wi-Fi.
The Dejero GateWay 211 device provides the necessary connectivity to get work done more effectively from the construction site thanks to Dejero Smart Blending Technology™. It simultaneously blends together multiple wired (broadband, fiber) and wireless (3G/4G/5G, satellite) IP connections from multiple providers to form a virtual ‘network of networks’.
Dejero Smart Blending Technology provides resilient and reliable internet on day one of a construction site which ultimately saves time and money. This kind of reliable and secure connectivity enables an inexpensive collaborative workflow that streamlines communication and boosts productivity at any construction site, no matter how remote the location.
In the fast-paced world of construction, efficiency and timely communication are paramount. Architects, engineers, and project managers often face the challenge of keeping critical documents, such as blueprints, architectural CAD files, building information models, project schedules, up-to-date amid constantly changing conditions. Whether it's due to fluctuating schedules or delays in material deliveries, the ability to quickly update and share these documents is essential.
Enter day one reliable internet by Dejero.
You get the best of both worlds
By providing immediate access to enterprise content management websites, we enable professionals to upload and update crucial files without delay. This seamless connectivity ensures that all stakeholders have the most current information at their fingertips, reducing errors and rework.
The impact of this efficiency is significant. As most construction projects are financed by the bank, General Contractors can save millions of dollars by cutting down on job-site inefficiencies, preventing lost wages, and avoiding fines and interest penalties associated with project delays. In an industry where time truly is money, Dejero Smart Blending Technology offers a competitive edge, driving productivity and profitability from day one.
Ultimately, you get the best of both worlds — a location where you can find peace and relaxation while also having the option to get work done efficiently.
