Overview
The building has a planned 75 year life span, so with this in mind the project required a fully flexible data cable system, able to cope with future moves and changes for many years to come.
We installed a total of 4,351 10GPlus cables; consisting of 3,551 Outlets to Desk and 800 Cabinet to Cabinet Links. Each Control Desk had a total of 22 Outlets, being fed from 6 different cabinets located in 2 different Comms Rooms for complete diversity, enabling disaster recovery if ever required.
The Fibre backbone was also installed with diversity, utilising different risers and cable routes between the Control Floor Comms Rooms and the Server Rooms located on other floors within the building.
”Whitestar always met our requirements, without fail. When we started our headquarter renovation project, we knew we could rely on John and the team to keep our network running.

”Whitestar has a ‘can-do’ attitude. As a customer, this puts my mind at ease. I know they will do everything they can to deliver a project for me.
