Enterprise Fibre Fuels Creative Studio's Global Growth

This globally recognised creative studio sits at the cutting edge of visual graphics, producing high-end content for clients across industries, from advertising and film to immersive media and VR. With a growing team of over 180 users, the company recently relocated its headquarters to a purpose-built flagship studio in London: a space designed to fuel its next phase of creative and technological growth.

As the business expanded its global reach, so did its demands for speed, scale, and real-time collaboration, all hinging on enterprise-grade connectivity.

In their previous space, the studio had been running on a 1GB leased fibre line, decent for its time, but quickly becoming a bottleneck. As workflows grew heavier and immersive media like VR became part of everyday production, that single gigabit couldn’t keep up.

The upcoming move to a flagship HQ presented an opportunity: build a connectivity setup that could match their ambition. But timing was tight. Fibre installation had to slot into a wider studio fit-out, with no room for delays before the grand opening.

This was about enabling creative teams to transfer massive project files, collaborate in real time, and work with global partners without friction. The new network needed to be fast, stable, and future proof, and it had to be ready from day one.

To meet the demands of a growing, global team, and the creative weight of VR, immersive media, and heavy file workflows, Lyon Tech engineered a connectivity upgrade that could power the studio’s ambitions from day one.Key steps included:

• Scoping for scale: A full consultation mapped not only current bandwidth usage, but what would be required as new tools, larger teams, and expanded services came online.
• Enterprise-grade fibre: Provisioned a dedicated 10GB leased fibre line to serve as the studio’s core connection, paired with a resilient 1GB backup line to ensure uptime, even in the event of disruption.
• Tightly coordinated install: Worked in lockstep with building contractors to align the fibre build with the broader studio refurbishment, from trenching to final layout and port planning.
• Provider liaison: Managed the relationship with the fibre provider directly to ensure timely delivery, testing, and go-live, avoiding delays in the studio’s public launch.
• Smooth handover: Delivered complete technical documentation and walkthroughs, setting up the internal IT team for easy management moving forward.

The new 10GB fibre connection has completely transformed how the studio works. Teams now move massive project files without delay, access cloud rendering tools seamlessly, and collaborate across departments in real time. The 1GB failover line adds a layer of resilience, ensuring uninterrupted operations even during maintenance or unexpected outages.

Crucially, the upgrade landed on time, aligned with the studio’s public launch, and gave the business the infrastructure to back up its next chapter of creative growth. Whether it's immersive VR production or global client delivery, this studio is now connected, protected, and ready for what’s next.
