The contract to supply the communication infrastructure and network solution, which now makes it possible for a new customer to walk into a Virgin Mobile outlet, and then walk out with an activated phone\/SIM card in minutes, was awarded to the Bromide Technologies Group.<\/font> <\/p>\n

According to the Midrand-based company, its experience in similar projects, combined with a solution that cost-effectively encompasses the entire ICT spectrum, secured it the project. Its streamlined business model also meant that Bromide Technologies could mobilise very quickly in the face of a tight project schedule, the company adds.<\/font> <\/p>\n

\u201cHigh availability, the reliability of redundancy measures and cost-effective operation were the primary objectives that our proposed wide area network and connections had to achieve,\u201d reports Bromide Technologies sales and marketing director, Louis Steyn. <\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is, of course, critical for the Virgin Mobile call centre to always be operational and accessible by customers, thus the solution has to be 100% reliable. Our proposal involved Cisco network management and networking equipment, a Microsoft Exchange solution and Active Directory roll-out and the deployment of Citrix Remote Access enabling remote clients.\u201d<\/font> <\/p>\n

Following the successful completion of the initial infrastructure implementation, Bromide Technologies was tasked with various other initiatives not covered by the original project.<\/font> <\/p>\n
