Avitech Provides Advanced Turnkey Monitoring & Control Room for Romtelecom

Christie Digital cubes wall enables the monitoring of the national network

AV and security integrators AVITECH, who are also the Romanian distributors for Christie, are slowly introducing sophisticated command and control room monitor environments to the nation’s telecommunications industry.

Having successfully completed a complex two-phase integration at Ericsson’s new Global Service Delivery Center, based around Christie components, they have now provided a turnkey solution for Romtelecom, one of the country’s largest communications companies.

AVITECH received last year the go-ahead for the implementation of another important project, this time for Romtelecom. The project had to offer severely improved monitoring and control possibilities for the client’s national network.

AVITECH replaced the existing system used to check feeds with specified 27 x 67" Christie SXGA+ cubes (configured 9 x 3), with RPMSP-D132 single chip DLP projection, featuring dual long life high pressure UHP™ Mercury lamps.

This is fed from a 10-inDVI-4-inVGA-8 in MPEG/27-out Jupiter Fusion 964 wall controller, which can control multiple MPEG streams. Feeds include 10 x DVI inputs, 8 x MPEG streams and 16 x component inputs.

The 21 computer stations at Romtelecom’s HQ are connected to an RGB Spectrum Linx 3216 DVI matrix switcher (with ten chosen for connection direct to the controller via the input node. “Why have 21 inputs going direct when you have a matrix?” rationalizes AVITECH’s Presales Manager, Iuliu Cristian.

The purpose of the integrated systems is to fix in time and with maximum efficiency possible failure, to monitor specific parameters, but also to synchronize with related networks.

Mr. Cristian added that AVITECH had offered a turnkey solution to the client, consisting of interior design, space renovations, execution of electrical installation, structured cabling, configuration and installation of HVAC systems, lighting control, sound and video wall, installing furniture, workstations and LCD displays and commissioning of all systems. So the newly created monitoring and control room in the famous and historic Telephones Palace building meets all the requirements of the client regarding functionality and comfort.

One of the largest communication companies in Romania and market leader in fixed communications, Romtelecom offers reliable services, innovative and easy to use, from traditional fixed telephony, broadband Internet and digital television to the most secure data center in Romania and service packets of voice and data.

“We are very proud about this project, as it underlines the competencies gained by our company in more than 10 years of hard work. The Christie cubes helped us a lot in offering to the client the reliable monitoring solution he asked for” summarized Mr. Cristian.
