Belfast-based telecoms company Barclay Communications is celebrating a new £3m contract with University of Cambridge, one of its biggest contracts to date.
Reliable telecommunications tech has always been important to top UK universities, and it's become even more essential now that certain classes have started moving online. Northern Irish telecoms firm Barlcay Communications has announced that it's won its bid to supply University of Cambridge in a new £3m contract.
Barclay Communications will be supplying the university with a reliable new mobile solution for all 31 of its constituent colleges and all 150 departments, with provision of over 5,000 mobile connections across the locations. The contract will also involve extensive support.
