Greece Community School: Campus-Wide CCTV & Network Infrastructure

The Operational Challenge

The school campus features multiple detached academic buildings separated by courtyards, sports areas, and parking facilities. Running standard copper Ethernet cables outdoors across long distances between buildings would exceed the 100-meter limit and expose hardware to lightning surges during Addis Ababa's rainy season. Furthermore, installation work had to proceed without interrupting classes or student activities.

Our Engineering Solution

We engineered an optical fiber backbone linking the separate academic blocks to the central administration server room, providing lightning-isolated, gigabit transmission speeds. Outdoor cameras were deployed with long-range infrared illumination (up to 60m) covering perimeter walls and play areas. Cabling and ceiling work inside hallways was executed during holiday recesses and after-school hours to guarantee zero disruption to learning.

Verifiable Project Outcomes

• Total visibility across campus perimeter fences, student walkways, and vehicle drop-off gates.
• Real-time dual-screen console provided to security personnel at the main gate for active visitor supervision.
• Secure administrative console for the principal with encrypted mobile streaming for weekend and holiday oversight.
• Enhanced safety standards reassuring parents and meeting international educational safety accreditations.
