The Challenge
The Dubai Mall in the United Arab Emirates is the world’s largest shopping, leisure and entertainment destination. It contains, among other things, approximately 1,200 shops, its own ice-skating rink and underwater zoo. Advanced audio visual systems for retail marketing, customer information and entertainment are situated throughout the mall, including a number of large LED displays (12 meters long by 1 meter high). Due to the bandwidth requirements and the distances involved, the Mall’s network backbone was single-mode fiber optics. But the AV equipment in the control room used multi-mode fiber optic interfaces, and space was tight in the control room.
The Solution
B&B Electronics provided IE-ModeConverter SFP/SFPs with the IE-PowerTray/18 to mount them. The IE-ModeConverters allow network operators to incorporate multiple fiber types within the same network and the small footprint of the IE-PowerTray lets them deploy multiple converters in locations where space is at a premium.
Why B&B Electronics?
No two networks are identical. Their connections may include combination of copper cable, fiber optics, wireless or cellular. B&B Electronics knows how all the pieces go together. We can help you design and build a network that suits your precise specifications, or to upgrade an existing installation.
