SMATV Installation at Southwark Town Hall, London
Project Overview
Southwark Town Hall, a historic building constructed in 1872 and originally known as the New Vestry Hall, has long served as a central hub for the borough's administrative affairs. Recognising the need to modernise its facilities while preserving its architectural heritage, the management sought to upgrade the building's television infrastructure to meet contemporary standards.
Client Requirements
The primary objectives for the SMATV system installation were:
- Provide residents and occupants with access to both terrestrial (Freeview) and satellite (Sky, Freesat) television services.
- Ensure high-quality signal reception in all flats within the building.
- Implement a scalable and maintainable infrastructure to accommodate future technological advancements.
Our Solution
To meet these requirements, One Vision Digital Ltd implemented a robust 5-wire SMATV distribution system, which included:
- Triax 5-Wire SMATV System: Installation of a Triax 5-wire SMATV system to distribute signals efficiently throughout the building.
- Signal Distribution: Deployment of high-quality multiswitches and cabling to ensure consistent signal quality across all outlets.
- Quality Cabling: Use of high-grade coaxial cabling to minimise signal loss and optimise performance.
This configuration ensures that each flat receives a full range of television services with excellent picture and sound quality, enhancing the occupants' experience.
Project Outcome
The successful implementation of the SMATV system at Southwark Town Hall resulted in:
- Enhanced Occupant Satisfaction: Residents enjoy a wide selection of television channels with consistent signal quality.
- Efficient Infrastructure: The centralised system simplifies maintenance and allows for future scalability, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Aesthetic Preservation: The design negates the need for multiple external dishes or aerials, maintaining the building's visual integrity.
