During 2023 SPC worked to improve and extend on existing [ s p a c e ] broadband access @ Brickfield,  Eastway Laundry, Haymerle Road, Peabody Yard, Martello StreetRedbridge Town Hall, Timber Wharf and Victor House.

Studios at triangle on Mare Street, Bridget Riley, Britannia Works, Deborah House and Sarah Lane previously maintained by Optimity have now returned to SPC so we keep watch over quality of service for the whole studio network.

Brickfields 32 studios are distributed over three floors. The fibre broadband termination and Edgerouter is installed in the main utility room with annex at the far end of the building. A POE switch in room A and B powers a cluster of UAP access points and Cloudkey.

Eastway Laundry is all on the groundfloor and shares a single FTC broadband over three UAP via a ES8.

At the picturesque Victorian Peabody Yard the 2 buildings and 12 studios share a single FTTC via GB switch over 6 UAP.

Spacestudios purchased Haymerle Street building in 2010 and the 3 floors were first fitted out for wireless access by SPC and refreshed again in 2021 now with 1gb fibre lease line. A cloudkey monitors 16 APs, managed POE switch and locally hosted Digital Marker

Martello Street was one of the earliest of the Spacestudio network of artist spaces. We completed the broadband installation in October of 2014 with 12 monitored access points redistributing broadband connection from Triangle on Mare Street via a fast wireless bridge linkup. Fresh FTTP is due installation soon.

Redbridge Town Hall is in Ilford town centre where there are 60 studios over three floors and as well as the administration offices for the whole organisation and public gallery. SPC built a studio wide network which connected to 100 mb/s fibre via 18 wireless access points and tangle of town hall legacy ethernet going into most rooms.

Timber Wharf is in Haggerston by the canal with 7 railway arches and 8 housing association workspaces on two floors opposite. A new 1GB fibre service and all 15 access points have been recently refreshed by SPC. The whole estate is undergoing drastic refitting of exterior cladding to meet revised fire safety standards which impacts everything about the environment for residents and studio holders.

Victor House is just out of range from Triangle in Hackney. It shares a single FTTC connection over two floors of studios with Cloudkey monitoring of the 6 UAP. Fresh FTTP from Community Fibre is due installation later this year.
