The Challenge

With the background and history o this eventand the need to relay all games and events to theentire world, the most critical challenge is to havea high-speed and bandwidth connectivity systemthat is 24/7 real-time with a reliable network.The CWG management was looking at a 100%uptime and error-ree network connectivitysolution or all the sports, training venues alongwith the games village (where thousands oathletes would be residing).

The second challenge was to Design a networkthat would provide virtually 100% uptime and NOnetwork ailure that could hamper the critical realtime applications. It also required a convergenceo voice, data and video over a robust, reliableand eicient structured cabling backbone.The demand was clear! - When the cablingsystem work is completed the operators MUST

have a stadium with a 24/7 Real-time, Reliableconnectivity system.

The third challenge was to complete thedesign, installation and testing o the entiresolution within a short timeline which includedcoordinating with the various stake holdersinvolved in this government project. To integrateall these needs and deliver would require anexpert network inrastructure provider

Stadium, Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium,Siri Fort Sports Complex and Yamuna SportsComplex.

ADC irst conducted a thorough site survey or allthe venues and designed a network that wouldaccommodate the bandwidth requirements othe intended applications. For the Games Data

Network (GDN), the LAN is networked usingCat6 Cables or connectivity and Fibre or theBackbone cabling. In the Security Data Network(SDN),which has an IP based security camera atevery 100m interval, to cover every corner o thestadium, a ibre end to end connectivity solutionwas implemented.

A structured cabling system was designed orthese multi-story structures in order to realizeideal connectivity and communication betweenall the services locations (including advertisingscreens around the stadium, scoring, attendance,media broadcasting, ticketing systems, stand

management). The system installed wasCategory 6 Copper horizontal cabling and FibreConnectivity or the backbone cabling.

In all, more than 7000 nodes with over 200km oFibre Cable and 350 km o Cat6 Copper Cablinghas been deployed. ADCs innovative modularjacks (RJ45) are installed at the telecommunicationoutlets, along with ADCs patch panels and patchcords.

Conclusion

ADC managed to successully complete thedesign, coordination, delivery, installation,integration and testing as per schedule and tothe customers satisaction. On time delivery andcoordinating with various government agenciesor completion o the installation was a keyachievement. With the cabling installation letuntil the inal stages o the project, the entireinstallation rom conceptual design to inalhandover was done in 7 weeks.

The most critical challenge

is to have a high-speed and

bandwidth connectivity system

that is 24/7 real-time with a

reliable network.
