Convergint Technologies encountered network malfunctions at a data center’s vehicle gate due to a shorted Cat6 cable and complex conduit issues. Implementing LigoVision wireless devices provided a quick, cost-effective solution, restoring reliable security connectivity.

Issue: Cat6 Cable Short Causes Network Malfunctions

Convergint Technologies discovered a short in one of the Cat6 cables at a data center’s vehicle gate entrance, leading to malfunctions in other network devices. The conduit setup, with its length, absence of pull boxes, and multiple 90-degree bends, raised concerns about further damaging existing cables during the replacement process.

Solution: LigoVision Wireless Devices Restore Connectivity

Convergint implemented LigoVision wireless data transfer devices, utilizing existing power and installing a POE network switch within a NEMA enclosure. This wireless setup established a robust connection between the gate and the building, successfully bringing all network devices online and ensuring proper security at the vehicle gate.

Setup: Implementing a Wireless Solution to Restore Network Connectivity

To address the network malfunctions caused by the shorted Cat6 cable, Convergint Technologies implemented a LigoVision wireless data transfer solution. They utilized the existing power at the vehicle gate to install a POE network switch within a NEMA enclosure. The malfunctioning network devices were rerouted to this switch. A LigoVision unit was then mounted on a camera pole to establish a wireless connection to the switch, with a corresponding receiving unit installed on the building and connected to the network. Positioned 350 feet apart with a clear line of sight, the LigoVision units provided a robust and secure wireless signal, effectively restoring the network and ensuring reliable security at the gate.
