Electronic component supply specialist Quadtronics has made a key contribution to the installation of a CCTV and surveillance system to the Africa Cup of Nations 2008 football tournament held during February 2008 in Ghana, Africa.
Played across four venues in four different cities across Ghana, the football tournament required a custom-designed CCTV facility to be added to an existing IP-based network originally provided by Pro Security Ghana Ltd (PSGL) for the nations 50th anniversary celebrations last year. PSGL was again called upon to provide the Cup of Nations system, and Martin Parry, technical adviser to the company, says:
"Between the four venues, we had feeds from over 200 cameras, all coming into a central IP network control centre in the Ghanaian capital, Accra. The cable requirements for the stadia were a combination of analogue and IP. Quadtronics had previously supplied over 60 kilometers of fibre-optic cable to PSGL for a previous project, and for the Africa Cup of Nations they supplied a further 75 kilometers of CTI25 cable to the venues."
