IP Voice Deployment Case Study for Sports Broadcasting Network

This case study outlines the deployment of an IP voice communication solution by an American sports broadcasting network using NVT Phybridge's PoLRE switch. The organization faced challenges with its outdated digital phone system, which was inefficient and costly. The existing infrastructure, relying on single-pair UTP cabling, was not suitable for new IP devices, and company policies mandated continuous operational uptime, preventing any disruption during the transition. The solution involved the implementation of the PoLRE switch, which enables Power over Ethernet over existing cabling, allowing the network to modernize without extensive infrastructure changes. The deployment resulted in significant cost savings of over $500,000 and facilitated a smooth digital transformation, enabling the network to support new IP phones without additional infrastructure requirements. The case study emphasizes the effectiveness of the PoLRE switch in overcoming traditional barriers to modernization in a high-demand operational environment.
