04 Oct United Nations Office Nairobi
The United Nations Complex in Gigiri, Nairobi established in 1996 houses several key UN installations such as the global headquarters of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), and is a vital part of facilitating the global United Nations agenda.
The Complex had a legacy infrastructure that affected service delivery, especially with regard to the numerous conferences, workshops, and seminars that often involved participants from all over the world.
Wilken upgraded the entire network infrastructure including fibre and structured cabling across the campus. This facilitates the UN complex to host major conferences with global participation on a network that is fast, reliable and secure. In 2004 the UN Security Council held a rare session in Nairobi to discuss the armed conflict in South Sudan. Wilken manages the network with an onsite team of dedicated experts that provide support for any emerging network related issues.
