6K Switches Chosen for City-Wide CCTV Surveillance Projects Throughout Turkey

One of the most important parts of any Mobese project is the networking equipment. Because the network switches were placed in field cabinets that are exposed to direct weather conditions with no special shelter or building for them, they needed to be hardened. Additionally, the switches needed to handle multicast traffic well. Live multicast video traffic would be coming into the switches from all corners of the city and required good management otherwise the traffic could flood the network in seconds.

The other requirement was network redundancy via redundant links with very rapid recovery.

With these requirements, very few vendors could even make the short list. Then field tests had to be performed with live video traffic. Because of the very high and continuous throughput requirement of the application, two of the switches from other vendors on the short list failed to transmit continuous live video traffic at the required frame rate and video quality. After the final tests, GarrettCom 6KQ switches were qualified and were recommended.
