NETCOM / HOLIDAY PARK CONNECTIVITY
Great holidays.
Great Wi-Fi.
Connected lodges.
From a woodland lodge to a whole holiday park. We design, install and support networks which bring the connection right into each holiday home.
See how we connected Forest Park using wireless links, and how wireless, buried fibre or a combination of both would work across your park.
01 / THE FOREST PARK STORY
A network built around the park.
Spread-out holiday homes, established trees and busy pitches call for a planned approach. At Forest Park, wireless links carry the network out from a central rack to different areas of the site, reducing the need for new trenches.
From the main connection to the holiday home.
Each part of the network has a job. The incoming internet connection feeds the main equipment. Outdoor radios carry traffic between locations. Local equipment then connects the holiday homes and provides Wi-Fi where people use their devices.
For owners and guests, the aim is straightforward: streaming, video calls and everyday browsing from the comfort of their lodge.
We plan the links between locations and the Wi-Fi inside each home. Both matter to the experience your guests receive.
02 / HOW THE TECHNOLOGY WORKS
Three ways to connect your park.
The right route depends on your layout, tree cover, distances, existing ducts and plans for expansion. We survey the site, then recommend a design which fits.
POINT-TO-POINT & POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT
Across the park.
Through the air.
Directional outdoor radios send data between fixed locations. A point-to-point link joins two locations. A point-to-multipoint system connects several receivers to a shared base radio.
Often described as “over-the-air fibre”, these are wireless radio links. They extend the park network without a physical fibre cable along each wireless route.
- Useful for existing parks where new trenches would disrupt pitches, roads or landscaping.
- Receivers and local cabling deliver the connection to individual homes.
- We assess clear signal paths, foliage, interference, weather exposure and available power before choosing equipment.
BURIED FIBRE & LOCAL CABLE CONNECTIONS
A permanent route.
Below the surface.
Where groundworks suit your plans, we install underground ducting and fibre between network locations, with suitable fibre or outdoor-rated data cable for the final connection to each home.
Fibre carries data as light. It suits longer routes and avoids radio obstructions along the cable path. Powered equipment at the ends turns the connection into the network your devices use.
- A strong option for new developments, pitch upgrades and routes with existing usable ducts.
- We plan cable routes, termination points and capacity for future homes.
- Ground conditions, access, buried services and reinstatement form part of the installation plan.
Fibre between locations. Wi-Fi inside each home.
ONE NETWORK, DIFFERENT ROUTES
The right connection.
In the right place.
A park does not need to use one method everywhere. A fibre route might serve a new development while wireless links connect established areas.
We bring both into one managed design, then add local connections and indoor Wi-Fi for each holiday home.
- Work around the layout and character of your park.
- Use existing infrastructure where suitable.
- Agree a phased rollout as more owners join or new pitches open.
A CLOSER LOOK / UNIFI POINT-TO-POINT
Two radios. One wireless link.
This UniFi view shows the two ends of a radio link roughly 300 metres apart. The displayed throughput capacity relates to this link. Individual home packages and internet speeds depend on the wider network and incoming service.
THE JOURNEY TO YOUR SOFA
-
1
Internet arrives
The park’s incoming service feeds the main network.
-
2
Across the site
Wireless links, fibre or both reach the required areas.
-
3
Into the home
A receiver or cable brings the connection to the lodge.
-
4
Onto your devices
An indoor router or access point provides local Wi-Fi.
03 / A BETTER EXPERIENCE INSIDE
Bring the signal indoors.
Holiday home walls, insulation and glazing affect outdoor Wi-Fi signals. Providing a connection to the home, then creating Wi-Fi inside, helps us put coverage where guests need it.
Evenings in
Plan capacity for streaming, browsing and several devices sharing the connection.
Time away, still connected
Support video calls, keeping in touch and everyday online tasks.
Your own space
Design separate household connections and keep guest access apart from park business systems.
We agree service speeds and coverage after assessing the incoming connection, network capacity, home layout and equipment.
04 / OUT ON SITE
Real equipment. Real installations.

05 / SUPPORTED AFTER INSTALLATION
A service your park has someone to call about.
At Forest Park, our in-house Downtime Monitor checks network devices and alerts our team when equipment stops responding. This helps us investigate faults and identify the affected part of the site.
For your park, we agree the monitoring, maintenance and support arrangements as part of the proposal. A service level agreement sets out the scope, support hours, response targets and responsibilities.

06 / CHOOSE HOW TO RUN THE SERVICE
Your park. Your operating model.
You manage the owners.
Your park funds the agreed infrastructure and service costs, sets owner charges and manages the customer relationship. Netcom provides installation and the support you choose.
We manage the service.
Your park funds the initial infrastructure. Under an agreed arrangement, Netcom handles owner sign-ups, service billing and day-to-day technical support.
Equipment, individual home installation charges, ongoing fees and support scope form part of your tailored proposal.
07 / YOUR QUESTIONS
Before we connect your park.
Do you need to dig up the whole park?
No. Wireless links reduce the need for trenches along suitable routes. Some local cabling, equipment mounting and power are still required. We show the proposed work in the survey and installation plan.
Will wireless work through trees?
Trees and seasonal foliage affect radio links. We assess signal paths and mounting positions on site. If a route is unsuitable, we look at a different position, an intermediate link or a cable connection.
What speed will each holiday home receive?
We size the network around the incoming internet service, number of connected homes and expected busy-period demand. Your proposal sets out the available packages and service expectations.
Are you installing a separate broadband line to every home?
The design described here distributes the park’s incoming internet connection across a managed site network. Each holiday home receives a local connection and Wi-Fi equipment, rather than a separate public broadband line.
Do all holiday homes need to join at once?
We discuss phased installations during planning. This lets the park establish the main infrastructure and add homes as owners sign up, subject to the agreed design and commercial terms.
