The development was gated to provide a sense of security. Electronic security was required to manage resident and visitor access through the various entrances. Opticomms scope was to create a sophisticated fibre network that supports not only the residents Telephone and Internet requirements but also integrates other required technologies onto a single fibre network with a single pit and pipe infrastructure. The interconnectivity between these systems give better results and provides capacity for future technologies.

Our Solution

Any area of the development such as the recreation centre can now utilise the same electronic security assets as a site-wide system with a connection to the Opticomm network.

Free to air & pay TV

All local free to air television channels and Foxtel TV signals are provided across the single fibre. Opticomm processes the signals at a single headend ensuring all the correct signal levels are achieved before they are distributed across the single fibre to each Villa. There is therefore no need for the Villas to have a TV antenna or Satellite dish.

As the site utilises a single TV system a local community TV Infotainment channel can be easily added.

Electronic utility monitoring

A third party metering system was utilised to read Electricity and water meters. This removed the need for manual meter reading. Opticomm transported the signals from the meters across the network for cloud processing and subsequent billing.

Now equipped with an efficient network and smart technology, Gemlife has the infrastructure it needs to maintain its status as a premium Lifestyle Resort.
