IPTV System Installation at Admiral Headquarters, Cardiff
Project Overview
Admiral Group plc, a leading car insurance provider in the UK, established its new headquarters in the heart of Cardiff city centre. The state-of-the-art building, situated near major transport links and the St David's shopping centre, features modern amenities including 'chill out' zones, kitchen areas on every floor, showers, and a 'get ready' room. To complement these facilities and enhance the workplace environment, Admiral sought to implement a cutting-edge IPTV system throughout the building.
One Vision Digital Ltd collaborated with Evans Electrical to design and install a comprehensive IPTV solution that would integrate seamlessly with the building's infrastructure and meet the company's requirements for high-quality television services.
Client Requirements
The primary objectives for the IPTV system installation were:
- Deliver high-quality television services across multiple floors and communal areas.
- Integrate the TV distribution system with the building's existing IP network.
- Ensure scalability and future-proofing for emerging technologies.
- Minimise disruption during installation within the operational office environment.
Our Solution
To meet these requirements, One Vision Digital Ltd implemented a robust IPTV distribution system, which included:
- TDX Headend Installation: Deployment of a Triax TDX headend, a true IP headend capable of delivering television services over the building's network infrastructure.
- Signal Distribution: Integration of a 5-wire input system into the TDX headend, allowing for efficient distribution of TV signals throughout the building via the IP network.
- Network Integration: Seamless incorporation of the IPTV system into the building's existing IP network, allowing for centralised control and monitoring.
This configuration ensures that each area within the headquarters receives a full range of television services with excellent picture and sound quality, enhancing the experience for both employees and visitors.
Project Outcome
The successful implementation of the IPTV system at Admiral's Cardiff headquarters resulted in:
- Enhanced Workplace Environment: Employees benefit from access to a wide array of television content in communal areas, contributing to a more engaging and comfortable workplace.
- Efficient Infrastructure: The centralised system simplifies maintenance and allows for future scalability.
- Seamless Integration: The IPTV system's compatibility with the building's IP network ensures streamlined operations and management.
