Samsung Human Resources Development Institute required a state-of-the-art AV network infrastructure to support their mission of developing top talent through immersive training experiences. By implementing NETGEAR AV’s switch solutions, SHRDI created a robust backbone for Dante AV integration across multiple conference and training rooms. The deployment has significantly improved AV performance with reduced latency, simplified management for IT teams, and established a scalable foundation for future growth.
BACKGROUND
Samsung Human Resources Development Institute plays a crucial role in cultivating talent across the Samsung organization. As training methodologies have evolved to incorporate more sophisticated audio-visual elements, the Institute recognized the need for an infrastructure upgrade that could support high-quality AV streaming, conferencing, and interactive learning experiences.
The Institute serves as both a training center and a showcase for Samsung’s commitment to technological excellence and innovation. Their facilities required an AV network that could deliver flawless performance while accommodating diverse training scenarios and collaboration needs.
CHALLENGE
SHRDI faced several significant challenges in upgrading their AV infrastructure:
- Establishing a high-bandwidth, low-latency network capable of handling real-time AV streaming across multiple rooms simultaneously
- Successfully integrating Dante AV technology to ensure synchronized, high-fidelity audio and video
- Creating a solution with room-by-room flexibility while maintaining centralized management
- Building a future-proof infrastructure that could scale as training technologies and methodologies evolve
- Ensuring reliability and redundancy for mission-critical training sessions
SOLUTION
After evaluating various options, SHRDI selected NETGEAR as their technology partner, implementing a comprehensive AV networking solution.
The implementation included an impressive array of NETGEAR equipment:
- 57 GSM4230PX-100EUS switches
- 18 GSM4210PX-100KOS switches
- 2 CSM4532-100EUS switches
- 13 VSM4320C-100NES switches
- 13 APS600W-300AJS power supplies
- 2 XSM4344C-100NES switches
- 2 APS1200W-200NES power supplies
This equipment was strategically deployed throughout the facility to create a distributed yet unified AV infrastructure:
- Room-Specific Deployment: Each conference and training room received dedicated AV switches, ensuring isolated performance and simplifying troubleshooting when needed.
- Dante AV Integration: The network was meticulously configured to support Dante AV protocols, enabling low-latency, high-fidelity media transmission across the facility.
- Redundant Power: APS600W and APS1200W power supplies were implemented to support high-availability and load balancing, ensuring continuous operation even during power fluctuations.
- Modular Design: The network architecture was designed with scalability in mind, allowing for future expansion and the integration of new AV technologies as they emerge.
RESULTS
The NETGEAR-powered solution has delivered exceptional performance:
- Enhanced AV Quality: Latency has been dramatically reduced, resulting in smoother and perfectly synchronized AV streams during conferences and training sessions.
- Simplified Management: IT staff efficiency has improved through centralized management via NETGEAR’s intuitive GUI, allowing for quick configuration changes and proactive monitoring.
- Room-by-Room Flexibility: Each space operates with dedicated resources, eliminating cross-talk concerns and enabling customized configurations based on specific training needs.
- Scalable Infrastructure: The deployment provides seamless integration capabilities for additional devices and services as SHRDI expands its AV requirements.
- Reliable Operations: Power redundancy and enterprise-grade hardware ensure consistent performance for mission-critical training operations.
CONCLUSION
This comprehensive AV network deployment demonstrates how NETGEAR AV solutions, combined with Dante AV technology, can transform corporate training environments. Samsung Human Resources Development Institute now enjoys a robust, scalable network infrastructure that enhances communication effectiveness while providing the flexibility to adapt to evolving training methodologies.
With NETGEAR as their technology partner, SHRDI has established a foundation for delivering exceptional learning experiences today while being well-positioned for whatever tomorrow’s training technologies might bring.
