Heras has been protecting what matters since 1952 — today, as Europe’s leading supplier of permanent and mobile perimeter solutions.
Heras needed to connect multiple European offices, reduce vendor complexity, and solve connectivity challenges at a remote site. Expereo delivered a fully managed global network using DIA and LEO satellite, improving performance, visibility, and operational control.
About Heras
Founded in 1952 Heras is a leading European end-to-end supplier of permanent and mobile perimeter protection solutions.
The challenge: How to connect multiple offices globally
Heras needed a partner who could connect their offices in the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France, enabling them to consolidate the number of partners they work with and improve the visibility of the network performance across these countries.
They also required a solution for a remote site that had always suffered with poor connectivity, as the facility is located where a fixed line was not available and mobile connectivity was limited. Only 4G connectivity had been available which was impacting the performance of Microsoft Office and their proprietary business applications.
The solution: Combining DIA and LEO satellite to solve global connectivity challenges
Expereo designed, installed and managed a DIA underlay solution for their 12 locations in 5 countries. We also provided high-performance connectivity to the remote location through a managed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite solution based on Starlink technology. With LEO, the team are now able to use their business applications in that location as they would in any Heras office.
As well as reliable connectivity, Expereo also provided complete visibility of Heras’ network performance and insights through our network visibility platform. Now their IT team have complete network visibility whenever they need it.

Why Heras chose Expereo
Heras chose Expereo as we were able to design, implement and manage their solution across the 5 countries, reducing their vendor partners and enabling their IT team to focus on more strategic projects. This was made possible with a single MSA and point of contact with their dedicated Account Manager.
The Expereo’s platform gave them complete visibility of all their connections and each one’s performance and insights allowing for planning and budgeting for future years. Invoicing by site enabled easy management for their Finance teams.
Heras have a strong ESG focus and goals and expect all the partners they work with to have the same values. Expereo share a similar commitment to ESG with a demonstrable strategy encompassing sustainability, diversity and governance.
Full visibility meant Heras could finally plan and budget with confidence — and site-by-site invoicing kept things simple for their finance team too.
Heras holds itself to high ESG standards, and expects the same from every partner it works with. We do too.
