NEW NETWORK KICKS A GOAL FOR CLUB MARCONI
KRONE cable upgrade connects Australia’s most
cosmopolitan club community.
Club Marconi was established in 1958 in the Sydney
suburb of Bossley Park, near Fairfield Contrary to its
origin of simply serving an Italian community, the Club
Marconi of 2004 provides sporting, entertainment,
educational and social facilities for a whole community
of varying cultures and origins
Located on 31 acres of parkland and playing fields, Club
Marconi is considered to be the most cosmopolitan club
in Australia It has over 23,000 members representing
18 nationalities and over 24 different languages plus a
team of 430 staff
Club Marconi had long outgrown its existing structured
cabling system and in an effort to keep up with the
needs of both club and community, it became apparent
that an upgrade would be required On initial
investigation it was discovered that the Club had no real
structured wiring solution, more a hash of different
cabling products that had been installed over a long
period of time This existing system had not been
supported in anyway and was frequently running
parallel with power cables
According to HHDI, the Club’s IT consultants, this
previous method of installation was not only messy, but
was responsible for poor network performance and a
system experiencing continual problems As a result,
Club Marconi commissioned KRONE endorsed installer,
The Faraday Group, to design and implement a
structured cabling system that would suit both their
current and future needs Club Marconi’s new system
would need to be future proof, flexible to change and
cost effective
Faraday detailed a KRONE PremisNET ®Category 5 cabling
solution for Club Marconi, comprising HIGHWAY patch
panels, patch cord minders, HIGHWAY SMK2 surface
mounted outlets and PremisNET Category 5 cable
Faraday chose the KRONE solution predominantly based
on ease of installation, Chris Carman, Faraday’s Project
Manager commented “We have used other brands of UTP cable, patch panels and outlets before but have always found KRONE Category 5 and Category 6 components to be the most user-friendly.” Mr Carman also commented that KRONE’s reputation as a reliable supplier of structured wiring components proved an important factor when pitching the solution to Club Marconi management
Led by Faraday’s Project Manager, Chris Carman, the installation was carried out in collaboration with HHDI With over eight years experience in the telecommunications industry, Kris Vant, was chosen by Faraday to oversee the installation on site as Project Engineer The installation comprised of many intricate networks all running across the same structured wiring system Due
to distance limitations, a solution of four individual cabinet locations was devised in the main club area The total installation encompassed approximately 500 Category 5 outlets spread over three separate buildings including the main club area, stadium and preschool As well as fibre optic backbone connections and multi-core Category 3 link cables between the main
communications room and the three sub cabinets within the club area and the cabinets located within the stadium, media box and preschool
On completion, Club Marconi commented on the high-level of commitment shown by KRONE In particular KRONE’s 15-year guarantee and the support provided during the planning and installation stages
Marconi’s social and soccer clubs are now experiencing the benefits of the new KRONE cabling infrastructure The system is responsible for supplying both voice and network applications to administration, reception, ATMs, bars, social rooms, soccer administration, bocce courts, tennis courts, preschool, the stadium’s press areas and corporate boxes
