VoIP Upgrading.webp


Overview

Hangzhou Clothing Wholesale Mall, a prominent commercial building, sought to upgrade its existing PSTN telephone system to a VoIP network telephony system. The primary objectives of this transformation were to significantly enhance communication efficiency and elevate user experience.

The customer had several initial concerns:

● Compatibility issues with network equipment.

● Poor audio and video quality.

● Lengthy construction periods and high associated costs.

After rigorous on-site testing by the quality inspection team and project engineers, the customer was convinced of the efficacy of Ourten's OT-PLC302-N two-wire transmission solution. This solution was selected for its ability to enhance the effectiveness of the network intercom system, resulting in substantial time and cost savings.


Challenges

The customer's concerns included:

Network Compatibility:

VoIP networks employ various protocols, creating potential incompatibilities such as unsynchronized audio and video streams, call latency, and lost control commands when using diverse transmission solutions.

Audio-Video Quality:

Over long transmission distances, bandwidth limitations could cause interruptions in HD video streams, including frame freezing and reduced image quality.

Construction and Cost:

Re-cabling with optical fibers or Ethernet cables would greatly extend the construction timeline, disrupt mall operations, and significantly increase cable procurement and labor costs. The mall management needed a highly feasible solution.


Solution

Based on a similar successful PSTN-to-VoIP upgrade project at Wanda Plaza in Nanjing, Ourten's OT-PLC302-N solution was recommended. Subsequently, joint testing was carried out on-site with technicians from all parties involved.

Through rigorous evaluation, the customer identified three major advantages of Ourten's solution:

Transparent Transmission:

The network transmitter provides transparent TCP/IP compatibility, is plug-and-play, easy to install, and can be managed by non-technical staff.

High-Quality Transmission:

Utilizing existing two-wire telephone cables, the OT-PLC302-N reliably transmits 100Mbps data over distances of up to 600 meters. It ensures minimal latency and maintains smooth audio-video streams.

Reduced Construction Impact:

Eliminating the need for extensive re-cabling reduced construction times dramatically. Installation involved merely adding transmitters and minimal cable connections, cutting down cable and labor costs by 45%. Merchants continued operations uninterrupted, significantly simplifying project implementation.


Results

By adopting Ourten's OT-PLC302-N network transmitter, Hangzhou Clothing Wholesale Mall achieved a notable cost reduction of 45%, while also generating 4 tons less waste compared to traditional methods. Mall operations remained unaffected throughout the upgrade, fully meeting the project's intended design and performance goals.
