Industrial IT Infrastructure
Design and deployment of integrated network, server, communications, VoIP, monitoring and video surveillance infrastructure in an industrial environment.
The industrial site included many buildings, operating units and pieces of equipment, and needed a stable, manageable communications infrastructure for data, the phone system, video surveillance and business services.
Stable connectivity between the plant’s buildings and departments.
Managing 300 network cameras and a monitoring room.
A central communications system for 100 users.
Hosting finance and office-automation services on reliable servers.
Central monitoring of devices and services was needed.
The main links between the plant’s buildings run over fibre.
Wireless links where they were needed.
Physical servers for finance and office-automation services.
CCTV with 300 IP cameras and a monitoring room.
A VoIP phone system for 100 users.
Wireless coverage with a central controller for wireless handsets.
Network, servers and communications are managed from one place.
Internal calls between units run on one phone system.
All camera feeds are viewed in one monitoring room.
The status of devices and services can be monitored.
Network manager and support.
