Phone System and Door entry in Mafair, belgravia London
2012 September 12 by admin
Inheriting cabling from a 3rd party can be a nightmare.
Recently we were handed over ‘cat 5′ in a large house conversion in Londons’ Belgravia.
Often if cabling is done by an electrician it is done to electrical standards, thus often is not numbered, or run with enough care for data purposes, let alone terminated on a patch panel.
It can take as much work to fault find and make good from a networking point of view.
London’s Tube to get free Wi-Fi in time for Olympics
2012 March 27 by admin

Free Wi-Fi will be made available to London’s commuters in time for the Olympics. That is, when the Tube drivers aren’t on strike leaving half the network crippled for days at a time.
Everyone loves a freebie, especially if it comes in invisible wireless waves of Wi-Fi enjoyment. Thankfully for the typical grumpy Londoner, users of the Underground subway system will receive free Wi-Fi during July and August.
The catch? There isn’t one as it happens, with anyone able to use the free Wi-Fi during the Olympics and beyond, thanks to Virgin Media. If there were one, however, it would be that once the slightly later Paralympic Games are over, non-Virgin customers will be shuttered out.

TV Serial “Top Boy” on Channel4…

It was strange viewing the first part of “Top Boy” on Channel 4 set in London with a theme about drug dealing. There was a segment of the programme showing the feature drug dealer gang being robbed by an opposing gang of their drugs stash and their competitors for the same trade.
With all the money in the illicit drugs business the most surprising aspect of this was the lack of surveillance equipment to protect their distribution point. Why did they not install a modern Telephone system linked to CCTV system for protection. A door entry system , linked through the
telephone system and protect the access door.
The modern handsets have large enough screens that when connected to the telephone system the images of any wishing to enter the building will be projected from the CCTV cameras on to the handsets. The use of smartphones linked to the CCTV and Telephone system could further enhance protection.
Perhaps in later episodes of “Top Boy” more sophisticated methods are adopted and CCTCV and Telephone systems will be de rigueur….
