Rhodes House is a historic building located in Oxford, England. It serves as the headquarters of the Rhodes Trust, an international scholarship program established in 1902 through the will of Cecil Rhodes, a British businessman, politician, and philanthropist. Rhodes House is situated in a beautiful setting on South Parks Road, near the University of Oxford’s Science Area.
The building itself is an architectural masterpiece, designed by Sir Herbert Baker in the early 20th century. It combines elements of neoclassical and Georgian styles, featuring intricate stonework, grand halls, and beautiful gardens.

Provision of Network Infrastructure and Cyber Security

Following an 18-month tendering process to find a strategic partner, the University of Edinburgh awarded the contract to European Electronique (EE) in 2019. The multi-million-pound contract to architect and implement a solution to replace the University’s entire wired and wireless network infrastructure, including firewalls, spans a period of up to 13 years. EE undertook an intensive detailed design process with the University to define and architect the solution in partnership with leading vendors, Aruba HPE and Fortinet.

In 2018, European Electronique (EE) was successful in winning a network replacement contract with the University, via the NEUPC HENSS networking framework, to replace their Cisco, EoL Procurve and H3C Comware environment with an Aruba solution across the edge, and L2 distribution wired estate.

Subsequent to the initial contract, in March 2022, the University undertook a bidding process to find a strategic partner to architect and undertake a project to refresh the University’s wired network infrastructure over a 7-year replacement cycle and provide thought leadership and innovation to work with the University on their longer-term networking requirements.

London Business School (LBS) is one of the world’s elite institutions operating in a global environment and as such they require a first-class networking infrastructure. 

The partnership between European Electronique (EE) and LBS started in 2016 and involved extending their existing wired and wireless infrastructure.   

EE provided all hardware and software, engineering, and project management and subsequently won the support contract for the network infrastructure across the entire Business School’s estate.   

Currently EE is working on refreshing their existing wireless system with the latest WiFi 6 standards using the new Aruba AX range of access points.
