Ludwigsburg Fertility Center Dr. Ott
The Dr. Ott Fertility Center in Ludwigsburg offers medical support for couples who are unable to conceive. It encompasses various diagnostic and therapeutic methods of reproductive medicine, including hormonal treatments, insemination, and procedures such as IVF and ICSI. An interdisciplinary team of physicians and specialists supports the process, based on the latest scientific findings and the highest technical standards.
Requirements
For access control in the new building, the existing, 15-year-old Paxton system must be retained and expanded with new Paxton controllers. The system should enable centralized management of access rights for various user groups such as tenants, employees, and visitors. Flexible customization options for individual access times and authorizations are also required. System security must be ensured through encrypted data transmission and high reliability.
Since the building is used by multiple tenants, a flexible intercom system with a concierge function is required. This must enable centralized access control and ensure direct communication between visitors and the respective tenants. The system should be flexibly configurable to meet the diverse needs of the tenants and support efficient management of visitor flows.
For the smooth operation of the access control and intercom system, specific network requirements must also be met. PoE (Power over Ethernet) management must be integrated to reliably supply the connected devices with power and enable centralized control. The network must support the latest security features. Particularly important is stable and high-performance distribution of audio and video data, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted video and absolute lip synchronization.
Solution
Paxton products, characterized by their long-term backward compatibility, were used for access control and the intercom system in the new building. This allowed the existing 15-year-old Paxton system to be seamlessly integrated and expanded with modern Paxton controllers. This combination enables centralized management of access rights for tenants, employees, and visitors, as well as flexible adjustment of access times and authorizations without having to abandon existing structures.
Touch intercoms with tenant images were used outside to ensure intuitive operation and quick identification of tenants. The particularly compact P38 readers, measuring just 3.8 cm wide, were installed for the thin frame doors to enable space-saving and unobtrusive integration.
The network was implemented with Barox switches, which offer PoE management for reliable power supply to all components. To ensure high reliability, the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was also implemented to avoid network loops and maximize system stability. This network technology ensures that if a network path fails, alternative routes are automatically used without affecting system functionality.
Audio and video distribution is smooth and absolutely lip-synchronized thanks to a perfectly coordinated Quality of Service (QoS) system. The optimized QoS ensures the prioritization of audio and video traffic, enabling stable and delay-free communication between visitors and tenants. At the same time, the QoS system ensures that other data streams do not interfere with real-time audio and video streaming, thus ensuring consistently high communication quality.
Conclusion
The combination of proven Paxton technology, modern network components, and optimized audio and video quality creates a powerful and fail-safe solution. The integration of PoE management and the Spanning Tree Protocol ensures high stability and availability. The flexible intercom system and intelligent access control provide a future-proof infrastructure that meets the needs of a modern building.
