Aldershot Centre for Health and Sabre

Costing £28 million to construct and covering an area as large as two Wembley football pitches the Aldershot Centre for Health (ACH) is now officially open.

ACH brings together Army primary healthcare services and NHS primary medical services to the local population of Aldershot. It replaces the old Aldershot Health Centre, the Cambridge Military hospital and current Aldershot Garrison medical facilities.

Playing a significant role in the sites completion Sabre provided the telephony system for ACH. By implementing the highly resilient Avaya S8730 switch onto the Cisco network, Sabre was able to demonstrate and put into action the capabilities of Avaya's Communication Manager to the 500 users required via the 450 telephones and 400 PC's installed.

Sabre's relationship with ACH is set to continue maintaining and supporting the telephony whilst adhering to the strict 802.1XAAA security standard laid out by the MOD and NHS joint venture.
