Our solution
- 1
Element secured this project in 2024 and completed it within 3 months. We proposed an integrated IP security system from Axis Communications and Paxton encompassing CCTV, access control and intruder systems over a resilient optical network.
- 2
Element proposed a resilient switching scheme ensuring continuous uptime with the ability to immediately switch security control to another geographic location.
- 3
Element installed redundant optical links connecting separate Category 6a structured cabling systems to provide edge connectivity at 1Gbps.
- 4
The latest Paxton Access Control system was installed allowing management of all site security systems, creating a single resilient security architecture.
- 5
Our team comprehensively tested the integrated infrastructure installed within the refurbished building, ensuring a seamless handover of this important phase of the project.
- 6
This new IP security framework makes the management of the site's separate security systems simple with access from anywhere in the world, making disaster recovery straightforward.
