Application: Mission Critical Control Room
Organization: Rwandatel Telecommunications
Background: The control room is a mission-critical environment, the key to the functioning of the IT infrastructure of large-scale buildings and organizations. Without safe and secure control rooms, organizations can be cut off from all access to information databases, email or the Internet – conveying a damaging business message and reaping heavy costs.
About the Customer:
Rwandatel, the largest telecommunications and internet provider in Rwanda has over 500 km of fibre and more than 300 points of presence in the country.
Key Customer Challenges: Rwandatel plays a key role in the social, economic and technological development of Rwanda. A team of 40 people must manage essential and complex information stored in the control room hardware. To maintain reliable operations, it is critical to ensure that the entire building remains within a predefined temperature and humidity conditions.
DataNet Implementation: Below the control room location, equipment and battery rooms each house a DNL920 DataNet with external temperature sensors. Repeaters are situated throughout the building, with alarms sent to the monitor, as well as via email and SMS in real-time. Half-hourly reports are sent to an administrator’s monitor, conveying DataNet system data in graphic and table formats.
Measurable Results: Rwandatel has maintained a secure and smoothly functioning control room during a key period of corporate and nationwide development. They have successfully monitored a nationwide rollout of infrastructure supporting new GSM and 3G UMTS network service from the headquarters control room.
