The Fresh Format refurbishment programme that started rolling out in 2016 has in numerous instances required the relocation comms cabinet within a store. None-sales floor areas (such as corridors and storage areas) can be opened-up and used as additional sales floor area. If a remote data comms cabinet is in the area that is to be re-used for sales floor, it must be relocated to a new location.
Along with our data cabling partner Washington Comms, POS Networks over an agreed number of nights installed a new data cabinet(s), run fibre links from the main Admin data cabinets and re-cable departments that are serviced by the legacy cabinet back to the new cabinet, then migrated all end-point devices over to new infrastructure to allow the removal of old cabinet. These have always been completed on time and in budget.
