Seamless Structured Cabling Upgrade for News18

This case study details the successful upgrade of News18 India's IT infrastructure by Targus Technologies, focusing on a structured cabling overhaul that ensured live broadcasting without disruption. The project aimed to transition from a CAT 5e cabling solution to a CAT 6 solution while maintaining minimal downtime and maximum efficiency. Key requirements included a modular design for easy modifications, identifiable ports for quick troubleshooting, thorough network documentation for emergency rollbacks, user-specific ports in workstation areas, and sufficient redundancy to prevent revenue loss due to port failures. Targus Technologies selected Molex products for their modular design and tool-less termination process, which facilitated quick and reliable installations. The implementation involved meticulous planning, divided into phases with strict timelines to avoid any downtime. The upgrade resulted in enhanced performance and reliability, allowing News18 to broadcast its programs seamlessly.
