SMATV Installation at Sŵn-y-Môr Care Centre, Port Talbot
Sŵn-y-Môr Care Centre, situated along the scenic coastline of Port Talbot, is a 91-bed facility offering residential, nursing, and dementia care. Renowned for its extensive activities programme and award-winning services, the centre sought to enhance its in-room entertainment options for residents. One Vision Digital Ltd was commissioned to design and install a comprehensive Satellite Master Antenna Television (SMATV) system throughout the care home.
Client Requirements
The primary objectives for the SMATV system installation were:
- Provide residents with access to both terrestrial (Freeview) and satellite (Sky, Freesat) television services.
- Ensure high-quality signal reception across all rooms within the care centre.
- 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 care centre.
- 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 room receives a full range of television services with excellent picture and sound quality, enhancing the residents' experience.
Project Outcome
The successful implementation of the SMATV system at Sŵn-y-Môr Care Centre resulted in:
- Enhanced Resident 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 care centre's visual integrity.
