IVC Media to build resort security and access control management infrastructure for the new luxury Tortuga Beach Resort
IVC Media has announced it has been contracted to design and build a state-of-the-art centralised AV, IT, resort security and access control management infrastructure using the latest fibre technology for the new luxury Tortuga Beach Resort & Spa in the Cape Verde Islands.
The £1.1 million IVC network will provide multiple services to the resort including: fast internet access, multi-channel high definition TV capabilities, video on demand, telephony, fire detection, door entry systems and CCTV all controlled by a remotely monitored, centralised management system.
“IVC Media’s experience implementing some of the world’s leading AV and IT installations will allow us to supply and install every element of a complete working unified communications system for the entire Tortuga Beach Resort & Spa that is easy to manage and maintain,” confirms Ray Harding, managing director of IVC Media. “By implementing the latest fibre backbone technology we have been able to realise The Resort Group’s vision of a future-proofed, high bandwidth capacity network that supplies multiple services to numerous dwellings while maintaining optimum performance.”
“We chose IVC Media because of the company’s vast experience in the installation of large AV and IT projects and the clear understanding of our customers’ needs,” confirms Andrew Lawson, Development & Construction director of The Resort Group. “The innovative use of fibre technology is new to the hotel and resort industry and will ensure each of our dwellings has a downstream capability of over 2 Gbit/s ready for when suitable bandwidth becomes available on the Island. The fibre technology is way beyond the potential of a standard broadband system and will ensure we have the capacity for the interactive services of the future.”
The IVC system will take advantage of a GPON (Passive Optical Network) which is a point-to-multipoint, fibre-to-the-premises network architecture using optical splitters deployed across the resort site. In this way, a single optical fibre will be used to serve multiple premises, reducing the amount of fibre and central office equipment required compared with a point-to-point architecture.
