It's KRONE Cat 6 for University
of Queensland
Product performance and reliability and competitive pricing ensure
KRONE wins large contract.
The University of Queensland (UQ) awarded an
$800,000 contract for a Cat6 solution for the joint
UQ/CSIRO biotechnology building to KRONE Australia.
Of necessity, universities lead the way as adopters
of new technologies and UQ is no different. It was
among the first Australian educational institutions
to offer courses on biotechnology, the applied
science that studies the cells of plants, animals and
microbes to develop products and processes to
improve our daily lives.
At present, UQ's Institute for Molecular Bioscience
(IMB) - its courses, staff and students - are spread
across a number of buildings on St Lucia Campus. It
is UQ's aim to house them in the one building by
the end of 2002.
The new joint UQ/CSIRO building where the IMB

will be located requires a communications network
infrastructure with the highest possible bandwidth
to enable new and emerging technologies such as
videoconferencing, video streaming, and the
sophisticated imaging and data processing systems
used in this rapidly advancing science.
" We've been working towards this goal for almost
two years now," said Derek Browning, Supervisor
Network Installation and Maintenance, University of
Queensland.
" It has taken 18 months to construct the two,
eight-storey buildings, which include lecture
theatres, an auditorium and facilities for distance
learning. The project is a joint venture between the
University and the CSIRO who will share our
facilities to conduct its own biotechnical research.
" When the first designs for the building were
developed several years ago, Cat5e was the next
proposed standard and we were already running
100 Megabit to the desktop over a Gigabit Ethernet
backbone. It is imperative that we provide the best
cabling infrastructure for our future needs.
" CSIRO has contributed a significant portion of the
funding for the project as well as providing its
cabling infrastructure specifications to use as a basis
for our own network design," said Mr. Browning.
KRONE Australia won the tender for the UQ cabling
infrastructure project from strong competition from
two other vendors.
" We're using KRONE's Premis

NET
®
Cat 6 solution
of cable, connectors and patch panels as well as
KRONE fibre pigtails, connectors and patch panels,"
said Mr. Browning. "The value of this part of the
project is estimated to be around $800,000."

The KRONE endorsed installer, ABB, has commenced
laying 450 kilometres of cable throughout the
building providing voice and data to 5,300 outlets.
" KRONE's Queensland team worked closely with us
to ensure we gain the maximum benefit from our
Premis
NET
®
solution," said Mr. Browning. "They

have been extremely helpful in responding to our
queries on a number of occasions."
Glen Johnston, KRONE's Manager, Marketing and
Product Development said: " The University of
Queensland has been a long-time customer of
KRONE, through many tender processes. We are
particularly excited that they have chosen us again,
against all comers. In fact, the new biotechnology
building is the second University of Queensland
building to adopt a Premis
NET
Cat 6 solution. The
General Purpose North 3 building was completed
earlier this year.
" In choosing our Premis
NET
structured cabling
solution, the University receives the industry's most
extensive standards-compliant warranty program
that guarantees the system's performance for up to
20 years. It is a fully comprehensive product, system
and applications warranty that includes all parts,
labour and service."
The redevelopment of the site at St Lucia is an ongoing
process, demanded by the age of some of the older
buildings but restricted by the size of the site.
" Over the years, we have used KRONE solutions in
other areas of the St Lucia campus and, as existing
buildings are refurbished or rebuilt, we will certainly
be asking the KRONE team to tender for major

projects," said Mr. Browning. " To date they have
won our business because of product performance
and reliability and competitive pricing."
About the University of Queensland
Founded in 1909, the University of Queensland is
the State's oldest higher education institution with
approximately 4,500 staff, 30,000 students and
5,500 courses across three campuses - at St Lucia,
Gatton and Ipswich.
Established as the primary campus in 1948, St Lucia
is located on a 115-hectare site in the picturesque
inner-city suburb of St Lucia, bounded by the
Brisbane River on three sides. As well as
Queensland's most extensive multimedia library,
state-of-the-art laboratories and lecture theatres,
the campus houses 2,000 students in ten residential
colleges. On-campus facilities include extensive
world-class sporting venues, a shopping arcade,
banks, post office, cinema, theatre, restaurants,
refectories and recreation precincts. Many of the
gracious sandstone buildings are more than 50
years old.
