Situated at the heart of Auckland’s waterfront, the Commercial Bay development is a landmark commercial and retail destination.
The project required a sophisticated IT/OT infrastructure capable of supporting thousands of daily users and delivering seamless connectivity, efficiency, and resilience across a complex multi-tenant environment.
The Client
Commercial Bay is a major mixed-use development housing over 70 separate businesses.
The client sought an IT/OT partner capable of managing complex network requirements, collaborating with multiple stakeholders, and delivering a high- performing, future-ready infrastructure.
The Challenge
Delivering reliable, high-speed Wi-Fi coverage throughout Commercial Bay required careful planning and execution across multiple stages — from pre-construction to final fit-off.
Key requirements included:
- Reliable, high-speed network connectivity for over 70 office and retail spaces
- Seamless integration with Building Management Systems, CCTV, access control, PA systems, AV equipment, and structured cabling
- Scalable infrastructure capable of supporting current and future technology needs
- Close collaboration with contractors and consultants to ensure smooth project delivery
The Solution
Netbridge worked closely with Fletcher Construction, Norman Disney and Young consultants, and other stakeholders to design and deploy a robust network infrastructure.
A major focus of the solution was on comprehensive pre- and post-Wi-Fi surveys to ensure consistent, reliable coverage for thousands of users each day.
These surveys allowed Netbridge to model signal strength, identify potential interference, and fine-tune access point placement for optimal performance before and after installation.
Key components of the solution included:
- Pre- and post-deployment Wi-Fi surveys to validate coverage and performance
- Design and implementation of LAN switch and wireless solutions to provide seamless connectivity across all spaces
- Testing, commissioning, and optimisation of the network infrastructure for peak reliability
- Collaboration with BMS and other contractors to integrate IT, OT, and AV systems into a cohesive network
The Results
- Reliable Network Performance: Robust Wi-Fi coverage and high-speed connectivity for thousands of daily users across retail and commercial areas
- Seamless Integration: Unified network infrastructure supporting BMS, CCTV, access control, PA, AV, and structured cabling systems
- Tenant Satisfaction and Occupancy: Consistent network reliability enhanced the tenant experience and contributed to high occupancy rates
- Future-Ready Infrastructure: Scalable systems ready to evolve with future technology and user demands
Client Value
Through detailed planning, advanced Wi-Fi surveying, and collaborative delivery, Netbridge ensured Commercial Bay achieved a fully integrated, high-performance IT/OT environment.
The development now offers tenants and visitors a seamless connectivity experience backed by a future-proof, intelligently engineered network.
