About Us
Rapier Systems was established in England in 2003 to provide innovative Wireless solutions to organisations that used expensive leased lines. The company rapidly established a reputation for expertise in consultancy, design, product selection, installation, commissioning and support. Major customers included leading Telecommunication companies, local government, health and education establishments and many SMEs.
The Senior Management Team, Managing Director Richard Watson and Technical Director Stuart Wilson, are Wireless veterans, having between them over 40 years’ experience in every aspect of the industry.
Rapier’s mission remains to provide the very best in class, and best value for money, Wireless (including WiFi) solutions. Customers range from SMEs to Local and Central Government, companies in the Transport and Renewable Energy sector and the Oil and Gas Industry. With offices in England and Scotland Rapier covers the whole of the UK.
The company is responsible for some of the most innovative deployments of wireless technology in the UK, including the largest metropolitan area wireless network in Scotland and the first fully licensed 1Gb Wireless link (for an NHS Trust in England).
Rapier partners with leading vendors worldwide to ensure customers get the most appropriate, robust and secure solution, which can be anything from single building to town – wide Internet access via WiFi right through to very high speed (10Gb/sec) point to point wireless connections.

Our People
Our staff are our biggest asset. Rapier passionately believes in empowering its staff, who are continually engaged in personal development, including vendor / industry training and accreditation or career development through taking on additional responsibilities. We believe that by properly engaging our people they buy in to the Rapier Systems way and therefore the customer way. We do not employ people simply because their past experience ‘ticks the boxes’; rather they need to be able to demonstrate a willingness to be part of a team of like – minded people, who are driven to do the right thing for our customers.
