WNS Network Services are proud to announce the launch of their new website and logo. We would like to thank Sinclair Knight for all their help designing and launching the site.

Brand-Rex Select Partner Whitepack Network Services has recently completed a project to successfully design and install a Brand-Rex Cat6Plus system into the Welsh governments new office in London. 
The office in the building of the former headquarters of the Conservative Party in Victoria Street, London required a reliable network capable of running the latest technologies such as video and web conferencing as well as providing staff with high-speed internet access. 
Prior to commencing the installation, Whitepack Network Services assisted with the IT infrastructure design, recommending a Brand-Rex Cat6Plus solution to ensure the new network infrastructure would meet the needs of the Welsh government. 
The office, officially opened at the end of July by the Welsh First Minister.

New Product – CAT6PLUS F/UTP Boxed Cable 
Brand-Rex is delighted to launch the first ever Cat6Plus F/UTP data communication cable in 305m boxes using REELEX® tangle free, easy pull packaging technology. The combination 
of boxed cable and REELEX® packaging now make it easier for users to manage, handle and install the cable on site.
The new installer friendly boxed cable eliminates the need for cable reel stands on site and the robust packaging and ergonomic box design ensures this shielded cable is now easier than ever to handle, transport and to stack and store. 
Cat6Plus is the best performing Category 6 / Class e products available on the market today. This premium grade shielded cable support gigabit ethernet protocols and is ideal for installation in horizontal or building backbone areas.

Brand-rex Partner whitepack network services have successfully designed and installed a cat6Plus system for the newly refurbished Welsh Assembly Government buildings in Cardiff. WNS were appointed to manage the design and install by fujitsu last year.
The buildings at Cathay’s Park, Cardiff required a reliable network capable of running the latest technologies such as video and web conferencing as well as providing staff with high-speed internet access. Prior to starting, WNS assisted with the IT infrastructure design and made recommendations to ensure the new network infrastructure would best meet the needs of the Welsh Assembly Government. The existing Category 5 cabling was stripped out from beneath the raised floors then replaced with the Cat6Plus system. The optical fibre patch panels were then replaced with new Brand-Rex patch panels and the existing optical network reconfigured using fusion-splicing onto pre-terminated multimode pigtails and ST connectors to reduce signal loss and deliver higher transmission speeds. 
The project involved over 1,500 cables and 408 quad outlets to floor boxes with a combined length of more than 55,000m.
