#KTL partners with #EE to enhance connectivity at the European Political Community (EPC) meeting. To manage the substantial network traffic and data demands during the upcoming European Political Community (EPC) meeting, KTL installed state-of-the-art 5G EBAND 80 GHz high-capacity microwave links for its partner EE at Blenheim Palace.

This setup ensures that leaders and participants stay seamlessly connected throughout the event. The EPC meeting, scheduled for Thursday 18th July 2024, will be held at the historic Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill.

This significant gathering will unite approximately 50 leaders across Europe to tackle pressing issues such as Ukraine and illegal migration.

Barry Neary, Project Director, commented, "The EPC meeting is a pivotal event in the European political landscape, and we are thrilled to partner with EE to enhance connectivity at Blenheim Palace. High-speed connectivity is vital for such a high-profile meeting to improve the experience for leaders, delegates, media, and organisers, ensuring real-time updates, secure communication and efficient operations. My gratitude goes to the KTL team who worked on this for their dedication and hard work."

This installation will ensure that all attendees at the EPC meeting can remain connected, enabling smooth communication and collaboration, which are essential for the success of this event.

From health and safety practices to environmental awareness and meticulous inspections, Helen's expertise ensures we operate at the highest level. ?

What truly sets KTL apart for Helen? The ideal work-life balance and support from her manager, the SHEQ team, and the entire project team. A proud mother of five grown-up children, Helen values the flexibility and camaraderie she finds at KTL.

Helen's life is as vibrant as her work! A former singer for over 20 years, her love for music continues to rock her world.
