Solution Capacity

The System Capacity shall be according to the no. of users and design requirement.

System Control

The services shall be controlled through a software program that shall facilitate the required administration, day-to-day operation and add-on, maintenance, and alarming.

1.6.8 Traditional Telephone system.

Some of project contain the traditional telephone system Technology, the stem shall cover all future mentioned above in the IP telephone system, the contractor shall follow up the scope of work in addendum no.1, BOQ and specification to cover the system.

1.7 IP Data Networks

1.7.1 Introduction

The model that we are considering is the three layers or two layer architecture models to simplify network design, implementation and management for the project buildings.

Some projects contain two Data network the contractor shall follow up the scope of work and

BOQ of each project.

1.7.2 System Provisions

The network IP Data Network System shall be provided to the main Building and all buildings in the projects as per mentioned in the drawing and BOQ buildings.

1.7.3 System Description

This network should secure different department’s application. It is consider the main solution for connecting the secure active ports.

1.7.3.1 System components

This network shall be based on the hierarchy of three layers: Access layer, distribution layer

(if exist ) and Core layer. The Edge switches are Layer–1 fixed configuration switches, the distribution layer are Layer-2 and the core switches are third layer.

The number of active ports in each IT closet shall be based on the design drawing and as approved prepare drawings by contractor. The Edge switch that shall be used is a fixed configuration switches 24 10/100 ports or 48 10/100 port with 2 Gigabyte uplink to the backbone switches, as per port distribution requirements. The backbone switches shall be high performance modular switches that support a variety of modules, like Ethernet Gigabit.

The Secure IP data network provides Ethernet connectivity and switching for all connected ports. Core, distribution and Access switches shall maintain QoS performance for all provided services based on type of service and class of service. Different security techniques can be used to guarantee network security, such as VLAN and Access Control Lists. The secure IP data network operation can be monitored, managed, and reported via the LAN centralized management system.

This network shall be used to connect the IP telephony system and internet connectivity ports.

The IP data network shall be considered the main network for connecting the IP telephony sets/ Internet PCs. This requires a complete available, manageable, and secure solution.

The Edge switches shall offer Power over Ethernet (PoE) that deliver DC power to IP telephone sets. The modular Backbone switches shall support a variety of network modules, like Ethernet Gigabit.

The IP data network shall provide Ethernet connectivity and switching for all connected ports.

The Core , distribution and Access switches shall maintain QoS performance for all provided services based on type of service and class of service.

Also, this network is responsible to serve IP Low current systems (CCTV, access control,

BMS, etc.).

1.8 Audio/Visual and video conference systems

Audio Visual system and training Aids shall be designed for Auditoriums, Lecture halls,

Training workshops, Class rooms, meeting rooms and conference rooms as mentioned in the drawing project building and BOQ , The system shall be intelligent control system to distribute Audio/ Visual sources to display units .

The equipment shall be consists of Audio/ visual sources , DVD players , VCRs, Double auto revere cassettes , Video Projector with automatic lift, Motorized large screens, Mixer

Preamplifiers , Computer Interface, speaker ………..

For the Education building, each class room shall have the A/V system which can operate standalone from the class and can operate from centralized location for all class rooms in the same time.
