Atkins Telecoms - Communications, CCTV and Access Control

Atkins is a true multi-disciplinary consultancy committed to design excellence for the built environment.

We recognise the increasing reliance that organisations now have on high quality Information and Communications Technology (ICT) services and the impact this is having on building projects. This core technology together with increased need for physical security have led organisations and the general public to expect their working environments to be provided with a wide range of ICT services from on-demand broad-band to wireless LANs and the security system as a minimum, to have access control and CCTV coverage.

CONVERGED NETWORKS

Our approach is to combine technology and innovation to produce sustainable design solutions that meet wide-ranging needs and maximise efficiency. By designing in telecommunications infrastructure we produce solutions that will meet our client's current requirements and also enable the adoption of new technologies.

Increasingly convergent networks are using a common communications infrastructure to provide data, voice and video services throughout buildings.

In some cases such as shopping malls, this infrastructure can also be a source of revenue and provide tenants with services such as:

• Private communications circuits for LAN and VPNs
• Telephony using VoIP
• Managed WiFi access
• Footfall / people counting
• CCTV coverage
• Extension of mobile networks
