WINNER of the IFSEC Security Project of the Year 2013

1. Case Study
Highlights
Challenge
Temporary security solution across
land and sea for Olympic Sailing
Events.
Solution
Resilient wireless rings for video
backhaul, and the CCTV systems
solutions for the video, telemetry
and storage.
Benefits
• Wide geographical area
(land sea)
• Fixed and mobile coverage
• Temporary solution on a low
budget
• No environmental impact
• Withstand harsh sea-air
conditions
• Surety of using licensed
spectrum
The Challenge
As the chosen venue for the sailing events
during the summer of 2012, Weymouth
and Portland expected unprecedented
visitor numbers beyond the capability
of the existing local authority CCTV
infrastructure. In order to meet the
increased level of security, Dorset Police
required a networked solution that
spanned a wide geographical area which
was capable of delivering fixed and
mobile coverage both on land and some
3km out to sea.
It was also essential that all forms
of connectivity were secure, with a
minimum requirement for network links
to be encrypted and delivered using
licensed spectrum.
The temporary nature of the project
meant that budgets were limited as there
was no long term requirement for the
solution post the games. The coastal
location also meant that the solution had
to have virtually no environmental impact
but be resilient enough to withstand
harsh sea-air conditions.
The Partner
Quadrant Security Group (QSG) is one
of the UK’s largest independent security
systems integrators. A wholly owned
subsidiary of UK-based Synectics Plc Group,
QSG has delivered end-to-end security and
surveillance solutions from consultancy to
systems design, installation and support
for the last 30 years.
Project Summary
UK Broadband, working closely with Quadrant Security Group (QSG), delivered a
temporary CCTV solution across land and sea, to help Dorset Police ensure that
a huge influx of visitors experienced a summer spectacle of sailing in Weymouth
and Portland, safely and securely.

The Solution
The requirements for the project fell
into two distinct technology areas,
being the network solution for video
backhaul, and the CCTV systems
solution for the video, telemetry,
matrix and storage.
The fixed network design consisted of
several high speed point-to-point links
deployed as resilient rings and utilising
UK Broadband’s licensed spectrum in
42GHz, 28GHz and 3.9GHz. For mobile
access across the town and coastal areas
a number of point-to-multipoint base
stations were deployed which provided
roaming connectivity for mobile Police
vehicles equipped with CCTV cameras.
Surveillance across the sea was delivered
by way of equipping two Police launches
with wireless connectivity that enabled
live streaming of FLIR gyro stabilised
cameras at a range of 7km off shore.
Again, this was delivered using UK
Broadband’s licensed spectrum and
wireless expertise.
Given the high profile event and mission
critical requirement, the solution was
delivered as a complete managed service,
monitored 24x7 with on-site support
present during the main and Paralympic
game periods.
The Benefits
UK Broadband and QSG worked in
partnership to build a proposition
which leveraged the core
competencies of each company and
enabled a ‘complete solution’ to be
submitted. By working closely and
aligning activities within the project,
it was also possible to ensure no
duplication of costs and therefore
provide a more cost effective solution.
The solution delivered by UK Broadband
and QSG enabled Dorset Police to
carry out its largest security operation
to date and made monitoring a vast
and demanding geographical area
manageable. It was also delivered on
schedule and on budget.
Dorset Police Perspective
“The solution devised by UK Broadband
and QSG was the most viable and most
cost effective solution we looked at and
was exactly what we asked for, despite
the fact that it was a highly complicated
and demanding brief. It’s unusual for a
networked solution of this scale to be
required on a temporary basis, so for
them to select, specify, implement and
manage the technology they did, in that
context, was impressive”.
“While the technology was what was
needed, their ethos and attitude also
played a key role in this project.
Our working relationship was excellent,
open and frank, and they were always
willing to go above and beyond to make
the project a reality. The attention to
service was just what we needed for such
a high profile operation”.
Andrew Sims, CCTV Network Project
Manager for Dorset Police.
The Partner Perspective
“There were two distinct elements to
this project – the CCTV solution and
the wireless network provision. UK
Broadband’s reputation and experience
was paramount in the decision to partner
with them – and the project was a huge
success as a result. Our collaborative
approach enabled us to maximise
our collective expertise in providing
the solution that was consistent, cost
effective and most importantly, one
that overcame all of the challenges with
delivering CCTV transmission over land
and sea.”
