Overview

An America high school needed to install emergency phone systems to swiftly respond to potential dangers and maintain real-time awareness of campus incidents.

The school administration had several initial concerns:

  • Lengthy construction periods

  • High costs

  • Significant construction challenges

After onsite verification conducted by the school's network technicians and project designers, the client became convinced that Ourten's two-wire transmission solution offered superior cost-effectiveness, ultimately exceeding the project's initial design goals.

Challenges

The school's primary concerns were detailed as follows:

  1. Construction Period:

    Construction could only be undertaken during school holidays. A prolonged construction period of up to three months would disrupt the school's regular schedule.

  2. Budget Constraints:

    Extensive re-cabling would significantly increase the project budget, limiting the number of installation points and consequently falling short of the intended safety objectives.

  3. Construction Complexity:

    Excavation for conduits and wiring required adjustments based on existing pipeline layouts, complicating the construction process and increasing difficulty.

Solution

After discussions with our sales team, the client became interested in Ourten's two-wire communication solution OT-PLC302POE/OT-PLC302-DC, which eliminated the need for additional wiring. Laboratory and onsite testing demonstrated the solution's benefits:

  1. Utilization of Existing Infrastructure:

    Existing telephone and control lines could transmit network signals without the need for new cabling.

  2. Rapid Installation:

    Shortened construction duration and reduced installation complexity significantly lowered costs.

  3. Stable Communication:

    The system provided reliable, interference-resistant communications.

Results

By implementing Ourten's OT-PLC302POE/OT-PLC302-DC, the school achieved:

  • A 55% reduction in project duration

  • 45% cost savings

  • Enhanced safety for students and staff without significantly disrupting daily school operations.
