Description

The New Velindre Cancer Centre (nVCC) requires a resilient and diverse telecommunications infrastructure to support critical clinical, operational and digital services. The existing design includes fibre connectivity entering the site from the north; however, to provide full route diversity and minimise the risk of service interruption, an additional fibre route is required from the south of the site
