Sports Center Changes the Conversation; Leverages Existing Infrastructure to Improve Their IP Modernization Outcomes
A Sports and Recreation Center in Mexico was relying on an outdated security system that could no longer provide the required capabilities. The organization decided to deploy a new Axis IP solution to provide the safest facility for healthy recreation. The center is a place where sports and culture come together to contribute to the physical, intellectual and social development of the community. The organization promotes honesty, diversity, and participation; ensuring everyone can contribute to creating a better world.
One of the organization’s core values is to continuously improve service quality and member experience. However, while planning their IP upgrade, the organization became concerned with establishing the necessary infrastructure to effectively and securely support the new Axis IP surveillance system. The large Sports and Recreation Center is comprised of several indoor and outdoor facilities; including soccer fields, tennis courts, swimming pools, basketball courts, gymnasiums, and multi-purpose rooms. The size and diversity of the facility left the organization concerned with:
- Extremely high costs to establish new infrastructure in each building – and connect the infrastructure in each building with new fiber-optic cabling
- Long deployment times to establish the necessary infrastructure and implement the new Axis IP solution
- Disruption to members and network downtime caused by the network overhaul

Mass Transit Subway System Saves Over $500,000 Deploying New IP Security System
NVT Phybridge Case Study: Subway System
Subway System Finds Innovative Solution; Leveraging Existing Infrastructure to Deploy Over 500 New IP Cameras in Subway Stations
A subway system serving Southeast Asia needed to modernize from its aging analog CCTV system to a new IP security solution. The subway system includes over 150 stations connected by 135 miles of rail; facilitating over 5 million commuter trips on an average weekday. The passengers have come to expect a high level of quality and reliability as the transit system is one of the most reliable in the world; consistently achieving a 99.9% on-time rate.
However, it was becoming increasingly complex and difficult to manage passenger security and safety within a transportation network of this incredible size, especially while relying on outdated surveillance technology. The existing analog CCTV surveillance equipment was approaching end-of-life and the organization wanted to modernize security in its rapid transit subway stations. The organization decided to modernize to an IP security system, which would provide enhanced capabilities and higher resolution security footage.
One of the company’s core strategies is to continuously upgrade its services to meet the needs of its customers. However, the organization was facing several infrastructure barriers as they planned the upgrade to IP security. Traditional LAN design philosophies would involve ripping and replacing the existing Coax-based infrastructure to support the new IP cameras, leading to concerns of high project costs, long deployment times, and a harsh environmental impact. The organization was unsatisfied with this approach and required an innovative solution.
Change the Conversation; Improve the Outcome
Due to the organization’s needs, the distributor was confident in recommending the NVT Phybridge CLEER24 Ethernet over coax switch to leverage the customer’s existing and proven Coax-based infrastructure. The customer was excited about the new solution but wanted to test the capabilities in its environment. NVT Phybridge assisted the customer in organizing a no-obligation proof of concept. After a few simple setup steps, the CLEER24 switch transformed the existing Coax-based infrastructure into a robust and reliable IP backbone for the new surveillance system. The customer was also pleased with the ability to connect IP devices up to 6,000ft (1,830m) away from the application using existing infrastructure – with zero IDF closets required along the way.
Environmental Responsibility
Protecting the natural environment is an important core value of the organization, as they aim to become one of the most resource-efficient and ecologically sustainable railway companies in the world. The organization has implemented LEED green building standards and continuously strives to reduce energy and resource consumption in all railway operations. Aligned with their existing sustainability programs, NVT Phybridge helped the organization:

BOOK A MEETINGPutting it All Together with Modern LAN Principles
Putting it All Together with Modern LAN Principles
GUEST BLOG: Elka Popova, Vice President and Senior Fellow, Connected Work and Digital Experience @ Frost & Sullivan
If you have been following along on this guest blog series about Frost & Sullivan’s Modern LAN principles, I hope you’ve come to some of the same conclusions that my colleagues and I have reached: Today’s local area network is a vastly different environment than the PC-centric one of only a couple of years ago. A different environment requires not only a new way of thinking about network design but also a new toolbox of solutions to support an increasingly diverse set of network endpoints.
Each of the previous blog posts laid the groundwork for the need for a new set of best practices—what we call the Modern LAN principles. Modern LAN design recognizes the greater role that IoT is playing in both our businesses and our networks (Build the network around the devices you’re really using), as well as a reminder that all the work we do today should be done in a responsible and sustainable manner (Reduce, Reuse, Refocus Applies to the Network Too). In addition, Modern LAN principles break down some of the conventional wisdom when it comes to dealing with the new normal of connecting endpoints (The New Normal for Modern LANs), as well as a bit of a return to an older way of thinking about physical networks, suggesting that physically separate but functionally integrated IP network paths is the best approach to more efficiently manage the local area network, as well as a clever approach to dealing with ongoing and unanticipated cybersecurity threats (Why Segregating the Network Just Makes Sense).
As I helped develop the Modern LAN principles with my Frost & Sullivan colleagues, I have become convinced of two things. First, I believe that network administrators and solution architects will benefit by applying even one of these design principles in their own local area networks. Case in point: Just by leveraging the Modern LAN principle around environmental sustainability, the IT department can start to move from being the biggest producer of e-waste in the organization to a champion of sustainability and corporate responsibility.
Secondly, and most importantly, I firmly believe that the benefits of Modern LAN design actually multiply when they are applied together. Starting with an outside-in approach, administrators can begin to right-size the network to match the requirements of deployed endpoints. From there, clear opportunities to reuse existing cabling infrastructure begin to emerge, as well as the ability to start conversations about dividing these devices into physically separated but logically integrated networks. At the same time, outside-in efforts will shed needed light on what used to be considered network exceptions, bringing these increasingly common issues well into the fold of network design.
Together, the Modern LAN principles offer what network administrators need most: a highly flexible, cyber secure, and agile local area network design. By prescribing to the Modern LAN principles, network architects and administrators can build networks that are environmentally conscious and better prepared for the rapidly approaching connected future, all while putting money back in the IT budget for other projects.
