Background
An audiovisual integration company had a total of 8 small control rooms consisting of devices of different quantities, ranging from 4 to 28. A solution is needed to manage the devices subject to the control rooms, as well as the IT control room where the data of the 8 small control rooms would aggregate to.
Challenge
- Switches are needed to feed devices in control rooms. The port number should be larger than the sum of the devices. The room consisting of 25 players or above requires a POE + power supply of 15w per player.
- Each small control room must be able to communicate with each other in order to be able to initiate synchronized actions (by UDP).
- All small control rooms need to connect the IT control room.
Conclusion
Pacific Computer helped with building a network that makes a total of 119 terminal devices access to the internet. The cost-effective S3900 series switches are the ideal Gigabit access and aggregation switch for SMB, enterprise, and campus networks. PoE switch works by providing both data communication and power supply for the network segments, which saves both time and money for network deployment and maintenance.
