SUCCESS STORY
MULTINATIONAL LEADER IN BUSINESS SOFTWARE
Leading German company in the business application software market, with more than 50 years of specialization in the sector and presence in more than 130 countries.
The challenge
A leading international software company needed to implement a new cabling infrastructure in its offices to guarantee fast and highly reliable data transmission. The demands of applications, the greater number of devices connected to the network, required a bandwidth that would respond to the current needs of the corporation and adapted to future network requirements derived from technological progress.
In parallel to the cabling upgrade, it was decided to renew the audiovisual and multimedia equipment in its corporate rooms in order to improve communication processes.
“Our goal was to implement a cabling infrastructure that would improve network performance. We now have a solid, powerful installation that is capable of evolving with future technology needs.”

Leading multinational enterprise software companyThe solution
After analyzing the needs, technical requirements and characteristics of the corporate building, INSTEL recommended implementing a structured cabling system that would allow network line speeds of up to 10Gbps.
For this purpose, it was decided to implement structured cabling in category 6A SYSTIMAX®, from the manufacturer Commscope, a leader in the connectivity industry.
The elements implemented were:
- SYSTIMAX® GigaSPEED® X10D compact solution + connectors and patch panels. High-performance twisted-pair cabling, with reduced core and compatibility with 1G switches. Delivers network line speeds of at least 10 Gbps without requiring increased rack space and airflow.
- Retex rack cabinets. Latest generation cabinets capable of reducing the volume of a conventional rack by up to 75%.
- Workstation conditioning
- Indoor emergency lighting + electrical panel.
- Multimedia elements for meeting rooms: LED televisions, projectors and projection screens, self-powered loudspeakers.
Instel has offered support throughout the project, from consulting and engineering, installation and certification of network points, network maintenance, as well as delivery of documentation and installation plans.
