NVT Phybridge Case Study: Financial Institution

A Latin American-based financial institution wanted to deploy IP security devices across several of its locations. However, the high cost and complexity involved in removing and replacing the existing coax-based infrastructure presented several barriers. The customer needed an innovative solution to overcome its challenges and enhance security.

Problem

The proposed digital transformation project was complex. The customer hoped to have eight locations complete with 1,600 new IP cameras by the end of the year. However, removing and replacing the existing Coax infrastructure would take months of work, with a price tag that was far too costly for the customer. The financial institution did not know how to proceed and nearly gave up on the project entirely due to concerns of:

  • Loss of revenue due to long-term business disruptions
  • The extremely high cost to remove and replace the existing yet reliable Coax cabling
  • Security risks and network downtime during the implementation

Solution

The customer learned about NVT Phybridge’s long-reach Ethernet over Coax solutions and engaged with a subject matter expert to learn more. NVT Phybridge recommended leveraging the existing Coax cabling using the award-winning CLEER24 and EC10 EoC switches. The customer was intrigued and scheduled a no-obligation proof-of-concept to test the solution in their environment.

After a few simple setup steps, the CLEER24 managed switch and the EC10 unmanaged switch transformed the existing Coax infrastructure into a power-packed IP backbone with more than enough bandwidth to support the IP devices with up to 6,000ft (1,830m) reach. That’s 18-times the reach of standard switches. The customer was impressed and was confident that the NVT Phybridge Ethernet over Coax family of products was the perfect solution.

The CLEER24 and EC10 solutions eliminated all of the barriers that had kept the customer from modernizing to IP – no Coax replacements, no business disruptions, no service outages, no security risks, no network complexity, and no wasted budgets. “The customer had nearly given up on the possibility of having IP-based security cameras in their offices,” said Jaime Trujillo, Account Manager, NVT Phybridge. “But the CLEER24 switch changed the impossible to possible. The customer and integrator are both very satisfied.”

Result

The customer took a proactive approach to find new and better ways to achieve its digital transformation objectives in a financially responsible manner. Project partners used NVT Phybridge Power over Ethernet innovations to deploy over 3,000 IP security devices across several customer locations without the need to remove and replace the existing and reliable Coax infrastructure. The customer was extremely satisfied with the entire experience, as they were able to:

  • Accelerate deployment by eliminating the need to remove and replace the existing Coax infrastructure
  • Improve project ROI by allocating infrastructure cost savings towards more endpoints and applications
  • Eliminate unnecessary business disruption and network downtime to ensure business continuity and efficiency
  • Prevent over 20 tons of cabling e-waste

NVT Phybridge Case Study: McKinney ISD

3 minute read time.

McKinney ISD (Independent School District) was founded in 1848 to support local business owners and farmers’ educational needs. Today, McKinney ISD is one of the fastest-growing school districts in Texas, with 68 facilities, including elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, early childhood education centers, and administrative offices.

Problem

McKinney ISD relied on an aging analog phone system that was out-of-date, end-of-life, and no longer supported. The school district wanted to upgrade to an IP communication solution across 37 separate buildings.

The school board already had a Fiber backbone that connected each of the buildings. However, the IP devices would also need power, meaning every classroom would require an MDF closet. This solution was not viable due to high costs, network complexity, network security, and safety concerns.

Additionally, many endpoint locations were well outside the 330ft (100m) reach limitation of standard switches. McKinney ISD considered laying new cable, but the $1.1 million price tag was far too high, the deployment times too long, and the project’s return on investment in jeopardy. The school district needed an innovative solution to modernize communication within the defined budget and time frame.

Solution

Due to the school district’s challenges, Cisco suggested the PoLRE switch to overcome the digital transformation barriers. The NVT Phybridge PoLRE switch delivers Ethernet and PoE over a single pair of UTP wire with up to 1,200ft (365m) reach, which is four times the reach of standard switches. Cisco was confident in the PoLRE switch and coordinated with NVT Phybridge subject matter experts to present a tailored solution to the customer.

McKinney ISD registered for a free, no-obligation proof-of-concept to test the PoLRE switch in its environment. After a few simple setup steps, the PoLRE switch transformed the existing single-pair UTP cabling infrastructure into a power-packed IP backbone with more than enough bandwidth to support the Cisco IP devices. The school district was impressed with the solution and told its technology provider, CDW, to incorporate the PoLRE switch into the proposal.

Result

McKinney ISD took a pro-active approach to find new and better ways to achieve its digital transformation goals without high costs, complexity, or disruption. CDW used the NVT Phybridge PoLRE switch to deploy over 3,300 phones without ripping and replacing the existing and proven voice infrastructure. Deploying across the 37 locations was quick and straightforward thanks to the PoLRE switch’s repeatable, predictable, and scalable deployment methodology, which further increased time and cost savings for the customer. “Deployment was quick and simple for the installation team,” said Jeannie Newman, Central US Sales Manager, NVT Phybridge. “Our Technical Support Team did an amazing job assisting with configuration over the phone.”

“The installation was really smooth,” said David Spann, CIO, McKinney Independent School District. “The PoLRE switch allowed us to modernize without having to deal with construction. We did our homework. Re-using our existing cabling and turning it into a more secure transmission model was a huge win for us and a huge win for our taxpayers. This really was a win for everyone.” McKinney ISD used the PoLRE switch to achieve incredible results:

  • Reduced infrastructure costs by more than $1.1 million.
  • Reduced the total deployment time by three years.
  • Avoided putting IDF closets in the classrooms.
  • Prevented over 10 tons of cabling e-waste.

Digital Transformation and the Internet of Things Improving Services Across Several Industries

We live in an age where smartphones and laptops are no longer a luxury; they are a requirement. For nearly every problem we have, there is a digital solution. Therefore, organizations of all sizes are using technology to revolutionize industry practices. Here are a few sectors that have undergone a digital transformation thanks to technological innovations.

Digital Transformation in Education

The global COVID-19 pandemic has forced schools to forego in-person learning, with students and teachers meeting on an online platform instead. However, many schools were already adopting educational technology to supplement and deepen students’ understanding of their lessons before the novel coronavirus had accelerated this trend.

In 2019 alone, EdTech investments in the United States had reached $18.66 billion. Meanwhile, the market for online education is forecasted to balloon to a whopping $325 billion by 2025.

It’s easy to see the drive behind these investments, as the Internet of Things presents countless opportunities to the education sector. Gamifying lessons through apps helps with students’ retention and their enjoyment of learning. Additionally, augmented reality (AR) technology aids in visualizing concepts that would otherwise be hard to understand, like chemical reactions. With these advantages, technology now plays an indispensable role in education, even in the new normal.

Digital Transformation in Healthcare

In a world of packed schedules, people have turned to technology to make healthcare more accessible. In Canada, telemedicine companies like Dialogue and Maven offer sought-after digital health solutions. These services eliminate the need to go to a doctor’s office and risk exposure to others.

Wearable technology such as smartwatches and fitness bands send personal health data to medical professionals in real-time to facilitate remote care delivery. This is especially important for COVID-19-vulnerable citizens or those who have difficulty traveling.

Aside from virtual care, predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms have also helped medical practitioners better assess their patients’ needs. This technology uses data recorded from previous patients to estimate outcomes and determine the best treatment course before an illness can reach its terminal stage.

Digital Transformation in Hospitality

At an ever-increasing pace, travelers often use apps to plan their trips and review hotel stays. With an increasingly tech-savvy customer base, the hospitality industry cannot afford to put off digitizing its services.

To adapt, hotels streamline the travel process by utilizing one-click booking services, complete with automated payment. Furthermore, smart technology installed in hotel rooms helps enhance the guests’ experience by turning the user’s voice into a universal remote control. This allows them to manipulate lighting and heating, turn on the television, or even order room service with a simple voice command.

Artificial intelligence has also found a place in the hospitality industry. Some establishments like The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas have begun to use AI concierges to provide guests autonomous utility. Meanwhile, hotels track user preferences through data analytics, using machine learning technology to offer a more personalized experience.

Digital Transformation in Transportation

Technology has been instrumental in helping commuters navigate public transportation, given the current health crisis. For instance, contactless payments are reducing the risk of spreading the virus. This transit app also provides information on mass transport occupancy levels to help enforce social distancing. Passenger counters outfitted on vehicles record and transmit foot traffic data in real-time.

Digital transformation has also provided benefits to transportation workers who work on the frontline of the pandemic. A Verizon Connect article on mobile management systems notes how these systems have helped empower people like bus and taxi drivers. This technology allows them to coordinate with their team remotely, receive up-to-date traffic information on their routes, and minimize physical contact through wireless payments.

These are just a few examples of how multiple industries have embraced technology to digitize the consumer experience, improve operations, and adapt to the global health pandemic.

St. Anne's Church

NVT Phybridge Case Study: St. Anne’s Church

Verkada VSaaS Deployment Made Possible with NVT Phybridge PoLRE Switch

Video: 9 min watch time

Story: 3 min read time

Summary

  • St. Anne’s Parish vestry wanted to upgrade from its failing local NVDR and CCTV security system to Verkada 4K ultra-high-definition IP cameras. However, the church could not re-cable due to high costs, disruption, and the historical significance of the building.
  • John Purnell, an IT industry consultant, led the digital transformation effort for St Anne’s Church. Purnell needed a networking solution to help the church modernize without ripping and replacing the existing CAT3 wiring infrastructure.
  • Purnell, who had used NVT Phybridge products in the past, suggested the use of the PoLRE switch.

St. Anne’s Parish vestry wanted to upgrade from its failing local NVDR and CCTV security system, comprised of 14 low-resolution cameras throughout the two buildings’ interior and exterior. The staff requested five additional camera views bringing the total to 19. The vestry wanted to deploy Verkada 4K ultra-high-definition IP cameras that store video in the camera, requiring a fast and reliable IP network. However, given the building’s age, St. Anne’s could not remove and replace its existing CAT3 network infrastructure due to high costs and complexity.

Solution

John Purnell, an IT industry consultant and Co-Chair of the St. Anne’s IT Committee, led the digital transformation effort for St. Anne’s. With several years of experience under his belt, Purnell was confident that an NVT Phybridge PoLRE switch would be the perfect solution for the project, including the church building in the circle and two buildings just down the street. Purnell discovered NVT Phybridge at a communications technology conference and had previously used the technology in several airport projects.

Purnell reached out to NVT Phybridge, detailing St. Anne’s digital transformation objectives and barriers. NVT Phybridge was happy to help and quickly supplied a PoLRE24 switch to support the upgrade to IP. The PoLRE24 switch delivers Ethernet and PoE over any new or existing single-pair UTP (CAT3) infrastructure with up to 1,200ft (365m) reach, four times the reach of standard Ethernet switches. NVT Phybridge also provided EC-Link Adapters after discovering coax cabling during implementation.

Result

Completely satisfied with the solution, St. Anne’s Church deployed a robust IP surveillance system to ensure safety inside and outside of the church and the parish house. “The IP cameras can store up to 30 days of video while performing analytics, which was not possible with our old NDVR,” said Purnell. “This allowed us to dramatically reduce network load and increase security, which was not possible with an NVDR or cloud-based solution.”

The reseller team from BlueCapIT was trained on deploying the switch within one hour, and the deployment was finished just a few hours later. St. Anne’s Church saved a tremendous amount of time and money by avoiding the traditional rip-and-replace process, considering the historical value and community significance of the buildings. “The NVT Phybridge Power over Ethernet switches allowed us to meet strict Historic Preservation requirements and quickly deploy IP cameras without re-cabling,” said the Rev. Dr. Manoj Mathew Zacharia, Rector of St. Anne’s Parish. “It’s incredible that we can support 4K ultra-high-definition IP cameras using the existing category-3 cable. NVT Phybridge helped prevent seven difficult cable runs and the disruption that comes with pulling cable. I am thrilled to have avoided the rip-and-replace of existing cabling while not compromising on performance.”

About St. Anne’s Church

St. Anne’s Church, located in Annapolis, MD, was established in 1692 and served as the Chapel Royal for Maryland. Following the American Revolution, the church building was rebuilt in 1792, which served the community until it was destroyed in a fire on Valentine’s Day evening, 1858. In less than two months, architectural drawings were presented for the third St. Anne’s Church. Construction was quickly completed, and the first service was held in July 1859. Francis Scott Key and several signers of the Declaration of Independence worshipped at St. Anne’s.

St. Anne’s Church is one of the most important landmarks in the Maryland State Capital, situated in the center of the main traffic circle. As an iconic symbol of Colonial Annapolis, preserving the historic building was very important to the City. In need of more space in the 19th and 20th centuries, the St. Anne’s established a Parish House for administration, programs, and a preschool about 100 yards down Duke of Gloucester Street.

NVT Phybridge COVID-19 Corporate Update – December 2020

Like many organizations, the effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic have impacted us at NVT Phybridge. Since March 2020, we have effectively adjusted to our new normal to strengthen the health of our business, ensuring current and future customer and partner needs are met in an effective and timely manner.

Procurement and Order Fulfillment

Initial pandemic lockdowns across the globe impacted manufacturing capacity and the modes of transportation that move raw materials and finished goods. Despite the pandemic, demand for electronics and electronic parts did not decrease. As expected, when short term supply gets tight, companies order even more to stockpile for the medium term, leading to further shortages.

NVT Phybridge has faced the same risks that all electronics manufacturers have faced. However, we are in a strong position as our entire CHARIoT line of products is manufactured in Canada. We rely on major carriers, partners, and distributors to get our products to end-users, and we continue to foster strong relationships with these players. We have also made appropriate adjustments to production and raw material procurement.

Many learnings have been incorporated into our administrative, production, and procurement processes that strengthen our ability to meet customer expectations, even in uncertain circumstances.

Completing Digital Transformation Projects

At the onset of the lockdowns, many businesses were forced to shut down or adapt to public health guidelines. Many large digital transformation projects were paused as the pandemic initially impacted the global economy.

Based on partner and end-user feedback, we remained confident that we were witnessing a delay in demand that we needed to manage, not an overall drop in demand. In the months following, some projects moved ahead as businesses adapted and took advantage of building availability after shifting to a work-from-home model.

Sales, Marketing, & Support

The sales and marketing landscape has shifted drastically since March 2020. As tradeshows and in-person workshops are no longer a viable option to reach potential clients, we have adjusted our focus to digital marketing, online marketplaces, and virtual selling. In place of physical meetings and site visits, we are hosting online webinars and have implemented a robust online meeting system. Potential clients and partners can easily book an online meeting with the NVT Phybridge sales team. We have also increased our digital marketing efforts while strengthening our relationships with distributors.

Fortunately, the nature of our technology has helped many of our customers complete their digital transformation projects. As a technology that enables the reuse of existing infrastructure, end-users and integrators are avoiding the re-cabling, construction, and renovation work on-site, simplifying deployment while adhering to social distancing measures.

Some of our end-user customers continue to experience project delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to support their needs with discount extensions and other programs.

We are very proud of the technical support team and our efforts to continually improve during 2020. While maintaining our live technical support, we launched a website chat feature, which has experienced heavy usage from the outset. We will continue to provide effective support over the phone, video calls, and website chat.

Looking Ahead to 2021

We have laid a solid foundation upon which to grow and succeed in 2021. We will continue to focus on partner relationships, digital marketing, and promotions to ensure every organization can experience a simple, secure, and cost-effective digital transformation. The Internet of Things has supported and will continue to support businesses as they adjust to our new normal.

NVT Phybridge Podcast: C-Suite IoT Dilemma

Podcast: Overcome the C-Suite IoT Dilemma and Easily Deploy IoT Solutions

NVT Phybridge CEO, John Croce, shares what he calls the C-Suite Dilemma in this episode of the NVT Phybridge podcast!

C-suite decision-makers know that organizations with IoT capabilities are more competitive and better able to adapt to today’s landscape – especially when considering the challenges presented by the current global health pandemic. However, these same decision-makers struggle with the financial, physical, and resource requirements needed to implement these solutions. This is the c-suite IoT dilemma.

Croce explains the root cause of the c-suite dilemma being “outdated local area network design principles that have not evolved with the times.” IT teams are using the same LAN design principles used in the ’80s when the only devices connected to the network were data terminals and printers. “Today, we look to connect all kinds of “things” within the Internet of Things using the same outdated thinking.

However, these modern devices have very different requirements and require a modern infrastructure to support them. These devices include Wi-Fi access points, IP communication devices, sensors, digital signage, and IP cameras. Supporting IoT solutions using traditional network design thinking has resulted in higher network costs, increased disruption, greater complexity, less reliability, and security concerns. This is the dilemma.

Overcome the C-Suite IoT Dilemma

In 2018, Frost & Sullivan introduced Modern LAN principles. These principles provided local area network design enhancements that incorporate modern Power over Ethernet innovations to address all aspects of the dilemma that decision-makers are facing. Frost & Sullivan suggest that organizations reuse their existing network infrastructure to avoid the traditional and outdated rip-and-replace upgrade model. This eliminates many of the previously-stated pain points, allowing organizations to deploy IoT solutions without high costs, unnecessary risk, business disruption, complexity, or security concerns.

  • Reduce infrastructure costs by up to 80%, allowing more budget to be allocated to ROI-driving IoT endpoints and applications.
  • Avoid the disruption associated with ripping and replacing the existing infrastructure. Deployment can be completed in as quickly as just a few hours, compared to months – or even years – using the traditional approach.
  • Reduce resource requirements with less cabling, fewer server closet updates, and less labor needed to deploy IoT solutions.

Croce continues by explaining that NVT Phybridge has had over a decade of success and has helped customers collectively save over $200 million in infrastructure costs while simplifying and accelerating their digital transformation projects. These customers include government agencies worldwide, the leader in space research, and many fortune 500 companies.

NVT Phybridge offers a no-obligation proof-of-concept, allowing organizations to test the technology in their own environment. This provides proof and peace of mind to the customer, knowing that the solutions will live up to their highest expectations.
