# Business Connectivity & Cloud Telephony for AEC Firms > Canonical: https://wit-support.uk/services/connectivity-and-communications Connectivity & Communications # Connectivity your projects can rely on Under our WIT: Connect banner we draw on partnerships with leading providers to deliver high-quality, cost-effective connectivity: leased lines, business internet, cloud VoIP telephony, Microsoft Teams integration and networking across offices and sites. The challenge ## Sound familiar? ### Connections that can’t keep up Syncing large models, cloud collaboration and video calls all compete for bandwidth, an under-specified line drags the whole studio. ### Telephony stuck in the past Legacy phone systems tie numbers to desks and offices, when your team now works everywhere. ### Multiple offices, inconsistent networks Growth by studio or acquisition often leaves a patchwork of networks that behave differently in each location. ### Provider finger-pointing When connectivity, telephony and IT come from disconnected suppliers, faults fall into the gaps between them. How WIT helps ## Fast, dependable connections between people, offices and projects We design and deliver connectivity as part of the whole system: internet, networking and telephony sized for the way AEC teams actually move data. Because WIT also runs your support, monitoring and infrastructure, connectivity problems have one owner, us.

FAQs ## Common questions Can you take over our existing lines and phone numbers? Yes. We manage migrations and number porting carefully to avoid disruption and we coordinate with your current providers on your behalf. How long does a leased line take to install? Lead times vary by location and provider, typically several weeks to a few months. We plan ahead and can arrange interim connectivity where needed. Do you supply connectivity on its own? Our connectivity services are usually delivered as part of a wider WIT relationship, which is what allows us to take end-to-end responsibility. Talk to us about your situation.
