Formerly the home of Granada Television, Versa Studios is Manchester’s biggest city centre TV and film studio facility. A dynamic campus that pays homage to its history, offering a massive square footage of studios and production suites for a wide range of clients across the TV and film industry.

Versa Studios is a huge space with a high bandwidth demand. With production peaks seeing significant upload activity, Versa needed a solution that would perform consistently from corner to corner.
No time for downtime: If the internet went down during filming or production, it would have a massive impact on scheduling and sharing, and most importantly, the reputation of the studios.
Need for speed: it’s a fast moving, busy environment with dozens of people needing to use the internet at once.
We supply a dedicated internet connection for the facility, with speeds up to 10 Gbps. Because we built our award-winning network from the ground up, our engineers know every inch of it, and can anticipate and respond rapidly to necessary fixes. In terms of service, Versa Studios have a dedicated account manager, so in the unlikely event a fault did occur - there’s one, accountable point of contact ready to sort it out.
Our Managed WiFi solution stays fast and reliable because we put both humans and ‘robots’ to work. Juniper Mist constantly monitors and interrogates the network to find, fix and provide precise locations for faults, often resolving them even before they’re known. Our network analysts are on hand 24/7 too, ready to step in if needed.
"I'd definitely recommend Elevate to other businesses, thanks to the quick and reliable WiFi and great customer service."
With zero drop offs, even during peak traffic times and with high WiFi demand, the only show-stopping performances stay on stage and in studio.
