Success Story: Volktek collaborated with Singapore to enhance the process of transferring surveillance data
Volktek collaborated with Singapore to solve crucial challenges in the city's surveillance infrastructure, ultimately enhancing data transition for improved security measures by implementing Volktek PoE Ethernet switches.
Project background
Singapore City Surveillance System Facing the Digital Transformation Challenge
Singapore was facing two crucial problems; one was to enhance its internet speed, and the other was to solve the complex cables between surveillance and streetlamps. In order to achieve digital transformation successfully, Singapore was looking for a solution to approach the goal of becoming a Smart City. It urgently needed cutting-edge technology to implement robust city surveillance. Therefore, it was searching for a trusted brand of Ethernet switches to connect with devices and control centers.
A central aspect of this initiative involved the strategic installation of Volktek IEN-8648PA industrial-grade switches within the cabinets of street lamps, revolutionizing the way smart city surveillance is conducted.
Solution
IEN-8648PA PoE Ethernet Switch
Smart Connectivity: Required Data Transmission Capabilities
The IEN-8648PA is a high-performance managed 8-port 10/100/1000 GbE PoE+ downlink and 4 GbE SFP uplink switch primarily designed for surveillance applications with remote and fast management. Volktek IEN-8648PA switches ensure the smooth and secure flow of data. These switches facilitate real-time data transmission, enabling authorities to respond swiftly to potential security threats. The industrial-grade design ensures rapid data transmission and minimal latency, crucial for real-time surveillance.
Powering data connectivity with less complexity
Volktek was privileged to collaborate on this project. The IEN-8648PA played an important role in enhancing the connectivity of Singapore's City Surveillance Solution. The IEN-8648PA was designed to support Power over Ethernet (PoE), a technique for delivering DC power to devices over copper Ethernet cabling, thus eliminating the need for separate power supplies and outlets. This reduced the number of wires, providing a clearer space in city design.
Attis 5100-24GT2GS
Deliver Gigabit Ethernet speeds with exceptional performance
Attis 5100-24GT2GS was built with 2 x FX/GbE dual-rate SFP uplink ports for long-distance connectivity. It is a high-port density managed access switch designed to deliver Gigabit Ethernet speeds with exceptional performance for a high-density subscriber base with a high ARPU. The control room was not only able to deliver internet to other IEN-8648PA switches but also managed other surveillance remotely.
Result
Industrial-Grade Switch Integration
The core of this innovative approach lies in the seamless integration of IEN-8648PA switches into the street lamp cabinets along roads. Renowned for their industrial reliability and advanced functionalities, these switches play a crucial role in powering the surveillance infrastructure. The implementation assisted in solving the data transmission and cable complexity issues that enhanced Singapore's transition to a smart city.
In conclusion, the integration of IEN-8648PA industrial-grade switches into the lamp cabinets on street roads marks a significant leap forward in Singapore's City Surveillance Solution. This innovative approach not only enhances the efficiency of data transmission but also contributes to the overall safety and security of the city, aligning with Singapore's commitment to being a smart and secure urban environment.
