Country: Egypt
Application Site: National Research Center

Background and Challenge

A national research center in Egypt has upgraded its existing CCTV system to strengthen facility security. To achieve this, the administration has deployed an advanced network management solution to ensure the seamless operation of security cameras within and around the premises. The upgraded network must also support high-speed data transmission to handle the anticipated increase in data volume and provide coverage extending over 100 kilometers between the CCTV system and the data center.

Solution

◆ Efficiently Expand Existing CCTV Network

PLANET network switches are designed for seamless integration with existing CCTV systems, eliminating the need for device replacements. This compatibility simplifies workflows, reduces deployment time, and lowers overall costs, making it an efficient and cost-effective solution for network expansion.

◆ Enhance Network Management

Deploying PLANET’s IGS-10020PT, IGS-5225-4P2S, and IGS-4215-8P2T2S Managed Switches provides comprehensive network insights, such as port status, power consumption, and other critical metrics. These intuitive monitoring features ensure reliable performance and optimal management of your CCTV network.

◆ Boost Data Transmission Speed and Distance for Data Center

Integrating the GTP-805A-PD Media Converter with Managed Switches enables the research facility to utilize high-speed 2.5G fiber optic cables for seamless data transmission. This setup ensures reliable connectivity between the CCTV system and the data center over distances of up to 120 kilometers.
