Questions people ask
What keeps the plant online if a line fails?
4G or 5G backup connectivity can take over when a fixed line goes down, and direct internet access gives a dedicated connection that is not shared with other users.
Can you connect buildings across a large site?
Yes. Point-to-point microwave links join buildings without laying cable, and ethernet gives fast, dedicated links. MGT Teesside has its site networking and microwave links on Odyssey.
Can you equip a new factory with phones and mobiles?
Yes. SeAH Wind took hosted Mitel telephony and a fleet of mobiles from Odyssey in 2024 for its monopile factory at Teesworks.
Can a group use one voice standard across its businesses?
Yes. Hill & Smith runs hosted voice handsets and SIP services from Odyssey across its businesses, with a telecoms retainer behind them.
How much bandwidth can a site have?
Direct internet access offers bandwidth up to 10 Gbps, with the same upload and download speed at any time of day, and it can be increased as your needs grow.
