In a strategic move to elevate its IT capabilities, Shingda Group, a civil engineering and construction powerhouse based in Singapore, has embraced a cutting-edge cloud management platform. This innovation aims to enhance operations across remote construction sites, where digital resources are often sparse.
By implementing a hub-and-spoke VPN architecture, Shingda has streamlined connectivity and fortified security across various locations, bridging its remote sites to headquarters with newfound efficiency. The company selected Zyxel Networks’ Nebula cloud management platform for this pivotal transition.
Since its deployment, Shingda reports an impressive 60 percent increase in network management efficiency. The IT team is experiencing a remarkable transformation, completing troubleshooting and configuration tasks up to 70 percent faster, saving valuable time and resources.
“We needed a solution that would keep our sites connected, secure, and manageable,” shared Joshua Pek, IT Manager at Shingda Group. The integration with Zyxel Networks’ equipment allows the IT team to swiftly diagnose and resolve issues from a single, unified dashboard — no more juggling multiple tabs like a circus performer just to configure devices!
Shingda Group’s revamped network infrastructure features GS1920 Series smart managed switches with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities and WAX510D WiFi 6 access points, ensuring robust connectivity even in high-density environments. Security is prioritized via ATP Series firewalls and branch devices such as the ATP200, SCR50AXE, and USG20-VPN.
All these components are seamlessly managed through Nebula’s centralized cloud platform, offering full network visibility and automatic topology mapping. This centralized approach eliminates the need for spreadsheets to track IP addresses or credentials, liberating staff from cumbersome manual processes.
As a result, team members now enjoy streamlined logins, reliable WiFi coverage, and uninterrupted site-to-site connectivity, allowing them to focus on what truly matters — the projects at hand.
