Curve IT adopts a visionary approach to creating a scalable IT infrastructure for MDUs, delivering high-speed, building-wide, reliable and secure network connectivity from day one. Curve IT is a trusted partner of high-end property developer Essential Living, providing innovative technological solutions for its flagship PRS developments.

We collaborate with architects, contractors and operational management teams to deliver the most efficient, cost effective and future proof technology.

Curve IT’s extensive experience with traditional and modular construction techniques enables our consultants to project manage the entire technological installation within an MDU.

Working within the RIBA Plan of Work schedule and to the Prince 2 methodology, accredited engineers install everything, from structured cabling to access points.

An IT infrastructure fully aligned with client expectations

• Curve IT consultants provide the critical link between the construction and operational teams, and integrate with the M&E contractor.
• Our knowledge of build and other service requirements enables us to identify the risks and constraints involved in the delivery of an integrated network.
• We supply all the hardware and software required for the IT infrastructure for MDUs
• High capacity, reliable broadband and WiFi are installed to ensure personal, private and secure networks for tenants, at business speeds – from day one.
• Curve IT consultants help clients to address tech-related decisions such as speed of access and cabling, recommending enterprise grade equipment within budget.
• We can advise on and provide bandwidth.
• Temporary internet, telephony and IT services can be provided during the build phase. 

Meeting high technological expectations

• Curve IT delivers building-wide, private and secure personal networks for individual tenants from day one, with broadband speeds of up to 1Gb/second.
• Carefully designed placement of WiFi access points means residents have superb access throughout the entire building, whilst minimising the number of points needed, so saving money for the build.
• The Curve IT Personal Area Network means that the residents have access to their own network, wherever they are in the building, such as the gym or lobby, creating a seamless experience for the resident.

The timing couldn’t be better as next week, 6 – 10 March 2017, is the 10th National Apprenticeship Week (NAW 2017).  The week will highlight the investment and success of apprenticeships in the UK over the last decade and will continue to promote apprenticeships as a fast-track to a successful career.

Mitch has joined Curve IT after applying for a 15-month apprenticeship through 3aaa in central Brighton, a national provider of Apprenticeships in England.  Most of his time will be spent working alongside our technical support team.  He’ll also spend a total of eight weeks at the 3aaa academy, where he’ll be in a classroom environment for his theoretical learning.

For Curve IT, the opportunity to take on an apprentice enables us to employ someone who is highly motivated, eager to learn and that we can train to our specification for our growing business needs. We view apprenticeships as a valuable investment in our personnel and we know our clients will enjoy working with Mitch.  Mitch is not only interested in technology, proving this by setting up his own home network, but also has previous experience in a customer service environment.

Mitch researched the various routes into a career in IT.  There were two main options that he considered; to study for applicable entry level certifications in a classroom environment or an IT apprenticeship within an organisation.  Mitch opted for the apprenticeship as he feels it lends itself to his preferred practical and hands-on style of learning, “rather than reading through text books I can be learning as I work.  I know what I do on the course is directly applicable to the role.”

“Another reason I opted for an apprenticeship was the opportunity it gives me. If I were to study for certifications in my own time, I would end up with those qualifications but I would still be looking for the right role.  With an apprenticeship it combines the learning and the experience into one, as well as giving me a foot in the door in terms of work in the field.”

Mitch’s chosen apprenticeship is called Level 3 Trailblazer – Infrastructure Technician.  This is a combination of two Level 3 Diplomas, four BCS Certificates and an MTA, covering many different aspects of information and communications technology.
