Aug 16 2012: ASK4 provides Gold service for Canadian Olympic team
CANADA’s Olympic team was able to keep in touch with home…thanks to Sheffield expertise!
The Canadian Olympic support team chose a base camp supplied by Nido, the international brand for student accommodation, attracting diverse cultural markets in the UK, Europe and further a field in Asia and known for spearheading student community care.
And one of the main reasons they opted for Nido was because of its super fast fibre optic internet service – which is supplied by award-winning Sheffield company, ASK4.
Based at West One in Devonshire Green, Sheffield, ASK4 is hailed as the UK’s leading provider of services to student accommodation and is now developing its work with residential accommodation and business premises, linking with property developers and communication companies to develop and design systems that offer clients flexibility and reliability.
“Nido are a valued client and we were delighted to hear that one of their London sites had been selected by the Canadian Olympic support team,” said ASK4 Chief Operating Officer Ross Bray.
With ASK4’s support, all Nido sites have 10MB Internet dedicated access in room as standard and wireless is also available in all communal spaces.
“As the UK’s leading supplier of fibre-optic broadband to student accommodation and Data Centres, we had increased capacity within our network to deal with the needs of new on demand services available to our 100,000 plus customers during the Olympics,” Ross said.
“We also increased resilience to deal with the expected increased demand for online services.
“The Olympics is all about excellence and achieving the Gold Standard – and that’s what we believe in at ASK4 too!”
