Project Overview
The National Theatre of Greece embarked on an ambitious project to upgrade its wireless communications systems. The project’s primary goals included achieving wireless interconnection between different buildings, enhancing reach for underground floors with no reception, and developing a comprehensive operating and maintenance plan. This upgrade was essential due to the high architectural value of the theatre, which restricted conventional cabling solutions.
Project Objectives
The key objectives of this project were:
- Wireless Interconnection: Establish seamless wireless communication between various buildings within the theatre complex.
- Reach Enhancement: Improve signal reach to cover underground floors that previously had no reception.
- Operating and Maintenance Plan: Develop a plan to ensure the new system’s long-term operability and maintenance.
- System Installation and Configuration:
- Implement a new IP hybrid PBX phone system.
- Install DECT antennas and terminals (wireless handsets).
- Ensure business continuity with UPS for telecoms and networks equipment.
- Integrate the system with the theatre’s evacuation plan and audiovisual equipment.
- Set up remote network performance monitoring for ongoing system efficiency.
