SMATV Installation at Trawler Road Apartments, Swansea
Project Overview
Trawler Road, located in Swansea's vibrant Maritime Quarter, is a modern residential development offering picturesque views over the marina. The development includes a mix of apartments and a 1,539 sq ft retail/office unit, providing both residential and commercial spaces. To enhance the entertainment options for residents, One Vision Digital Ltd was commissioned to design and install a comprehensive Satellite Master Antenna Television (SMATV) system throughout the apartments.
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 in all apartments.
- Implement a scalable and maintainable infrastructure for future technological advancements.
Our Solution
To meet these requirements, One Vision Digital Ltd implemented a robust 5-wire SMATV distribution system, which included:
- Televes 5-Wire SMATV System: Installation of a Televes 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 apartment 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 Trawler Road Apartments 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 development's visual integrity.
