More than 190 kilometres of the TrueNet CAT 5eT end-to-end cabling solution has been laid by KRONE endorsed installers, SJ Watts and Somerville, at the five-storey site which was completed and occupied at the end of January this year. When the processing of more than 25 million records a week into market research reports is the lifeblood of your organisation, it is imperative that your computer network can cope with millions of bytes of information processed each day and be prepared for future business expansion and the increased bandwidth required by emerging technologies. In addition, when your company is the world's leading provider of market research, information and analysis to the consumer products and services industries, as well as to government and social services and, by virtue of corporate acquisitions, its main New South Wales operations are situated in three separate locations, it is a golden opportunity to re-assess the capabilities of your existing network. ACNielsen was the first IBM commercial mainframe site in Australia and in the early days of its former premises adopted a 16 Megabit token ring network. The computing infrastructure uses Novell and Windows NT and multiple Relational databases, supported by Compaq servers and HP UNIX equipment. Over the past few years the company has acquired the businesses of AGB McNair, Reark Research and Aim Data. Each organisation operates from a separate location, running different networks. The new Talavera Road premises were commissioned to integrate all the disparate businesses and computer networks and 450 Sydney- based people into the one building. The first step in establishing the new information technology and telecommunications network was to ensure ACNielsen had the best possible structured cabling infrastructure to support its present and future requirements. "We asked our electrical and data cabling consultant, Steve Watts of SJ Watts for his recommendations," said ACNielsen's Director, Systems and Technology, Peter Fernie. "Steve has been working with ACNielsen for eight years and knows the demands of our network." Times have changed and, besides the traditional printed market research reports ACNielsen produces for its customers, it now offers the information electronically - via hard media like CDs or via the Internet. The company has been using both 16 megabit token ring and a 10/100 switched megabit ethernet networks which were showing signs of inefficiency and relatively high maintenance. "Our staff place great demands on our network and as those demands intensify it was vital that the structured cabling solution we select should give us the best possible throughput of data on a 100 megabits switched ethernet network.

He had no hesitation in specifying KRONE's TrueNet Silver solution, based on HIGHBAND modules and HIGHWAY patch panels, as the best for our purposes. "One of the key factors in our decision to adopt TrueNet was that KRONE could guarantee us zero bit error rate on 100 megabit throughput for five years, and the overall cabling infrastructure had a 20-year warranty for parts and labour," said Mr Fernie. "Plus, KRONE actually audited the installation of the network to ensure it adhered to Australian standards and, indeed, to the company's own certification requirements." Peter Davis, Sales and Marketing Manager, KRONE Australia, said: "We live in tumultuous times, where change is constant. Our customers need to be confident that what they're getting is the best possible product to cope with present and future needs. "The current ISO standard for cable-to-connector and connector-to-patch leads connections allows a 15 ohm difference in the components. The recently drafted revised standard tightens this allowance to 6 ohms difference. We think this is still too high as it allows an error rate that can mean constant retransmission of information, severely impacting business efficiency and communications effectiveness. That's why our TrueNet solutions have a maximum of 3 ohms difference and it is why we can confidently give our guarantee to customers such as ACNielsen," he said. . his recommendations," said ACNielsen's Director, Systems and Technology, Peter Fernie.
