A temporary requirement with customer-owned equipment
Need an interim connection while waiting for broadband? This page covers that installed use. For a long-term network spanning farms, yards, outbuildings or accommodation, use Remote Site Connectivity. Both services use customer-owned installed equipment; neither offers rental or event hire.
Temporary internet when a normal line is not ready
Temporary internet is useful when a site needs to get online before a permanent fixed service is available, when the premises will only be occupied for a limited period, or when the location is too remote for a sensible fixed-line installation. That can mean temporary broadband for a new office, temporary Wi-Fi for a site cabin, or a complete site-internet setup using mobile or satellite connectivity with the network behind it.
Construction site internet & site Wi-Fi
Construction sites often need more than one laptop connected in a cabin. Site managers may need cloud systems, VoIP, printers, tablets, CCTV, project devices and Wi-Fi around several working areas. We assess the available connection first, then design the site Wi-Fi and wired network around the people, equipment and buildings that actually need access.
- Construction site internet
- Construction site Wi-Fi
- Site-office and welfare-cabin connectivity
- Connectivity for laptops, phones, printers and project systems
- CCTV and remote monitoring connectivity where required
- Installed wired or wireless links between suitable site areas
New premises waiting for fibre or broadband
A business can be ready to move before the fixed broadband, FTTP or leased connection is ready. We can assess an interim connection so the premises can get online while the permanent service follows the provider's normal delivery process. The installed customer-owned equipment can remain as backup where appropriate or form part of the final network once the fixed circuit is live. Removal and redeployment packages are not part of the current offer.
4G, 5G or Starlink — choose the connection that fits the site
We do not force every temporary site onto one technology. Where mobile service is strong, a suitable 4G or 5G connection may be the simplest answer. Where mobile coverage is weak but the site has a suitable sky view, Starlink may be more practical. Some sites benefit from one as the primary connection and another as a backup, but the design is based on measured conditions and the site's actual requirements rather than a blanket rule.
- 4G / 5G where measured mobile service is usable
- External mobile antennas where they improve the design
- Starlink where the site and sky view suit satellite connectivity
- Dual-WAN or backup options where the operating requirement justifies them
Site office, cabin & multi-building connectivity
Getting internet to one router is only the first step. If the connection needs to reach offices, cabins, workshops or separate buildings, we can extend it with managed Wi-Fi and commercial networking, Cat6 cabling or point-to-point wireless links where those methods suit the layout. The aim is usable coverage where people and equipment work, not simply an internet speed test beside the router.
Remote site internet for CCTV & operational equipment
Remote connectivity can also support sites where there are few or no regular users but equipment still needs to communicate. That might include CCTV, remote monitoring, a small office, workshop equipment or other IP devices. We check the power, connection method, addressing requirements and local network rather than assuming that a mobile router by itself solves every remote-access problem.
From internet connection to a usable site network
Evolution can handle the customer-side connectivity as one joined-up job: the incoming 4G, 5G or Starlink connection, router or gateway, switching, Wi-Fi access points, data cabling and connection of supported IP equipment. That keeps responsibility clearer than having one company deliver an internet box while somebody else has to work out how to get the connection around the site.
- Connection assessment and equipment selection
- Router / gateway configuration
- Site Wi-Fi and access points
- Switching and data cabling
- Point-to-point links where appropriate
- CCTV/network integration where included in scope
What temporary means in practice
We quote around the actual site rather than advertising one universal temporary-internet package. Equipment is supplied or installed as customer-owned equipment. We do not currently offer equipment hire, rental fleets, event packages or project-end removal/redeployment. SIM or broadband subscriptions, Starlink service charges, data policies and any ongoing provider contract are stated before work proceeds. We do not promise a fixed installation time, guaranteed mobile speed, unlimited data or a provider activation date that is outside our control.
Where this service is a good fit
This service suits customers who need an installed interim connection and want to own the equipment. We assess the premises, intended use and ongoing role of the equipment before specifying the installation.
- Construction sites and site offices
- New commercial premises waiting for broadband or fibre
- Temporary offices and project spaces
- Rural workshops and remote business locations
- Short-term CCTV or security connectivity
- Sites needing an interim connection during a wider network project
