”UK Power Networks significantly boosts field worker productivity with Bittium SafeMove®”
Oulu, Finland, May 21, 2018 – Bittium will exhibit its secure and easy-to-use Bittium SafeMove® remote access solutions at Utility Week Live, to be held in NEC hall, Birmingham, the United Kingdom May 22–23, 2018. Secure, seamless and uninterrupted connectivity is of utmost importance for mobile field workers, who depend on access to networked applications and services outside of the regular office environment. With Bittium SafeMove® solutions, the field workers will always have a secure and easy access to the needed applications and they stay connected even during possible network breaks.
UK Power Networks has been a SafeMove® customer since 2013. The now-published customer reference story introduces a project which started in 2015 on further optimising the connectivity with the aim of improving the productivity of 2700 (today close to 3600) field workers. A key area of investigation was how to measure and improve mobile operator coverage and reduce mobile data costs. With the help of Bittium SafeMove® Mobile VPN & Analytics software; and enabling BT Wi-Fi service, the overall field connectivity rate improved from 76 percent to over 95 percent and general mobile data charges were reduced by up to 25 percent. The full customer reference story is available for reading here.
