Today, Redcliffe City Council is the local government organisation charged with managing the region. With an annual budget of approximately $50 million, the Council provides a wide range of services such as road maintenance and construction, business and tourism support, town planning and development, waste management and recycling, water and sewerage, community, cultural and youth activities, public health and animal control, library services and maintenance of parks and other public areas. As the area has grown, so too, have the administrative needs of the Council and it has recently completed a $6 million refurbishment and expansion of its administrative centre. As the backbone for its new network infrastructure the Council selected our TrueNet  Cat 6 solution, which was designed by the KRONE technical support team and installed by Allan Wilkenshaw and his team from Data Installations using KRONE Patch-by-Exception (PBE) methodology. In all, around 650 TrueNet outlets were installed in the administration centre to cater for the current 400 employees and to allow for future expansion. The new network accommodates all the Council's financial and asset management information systems and public works programs used to service the city's 50,000 ratepayers. A disaster recovery centre has also been established to ensure Council records will be safe should any unforeseen incident or accident damage the network. KRONE's HIGHLIGHT  suite of fibre optic products was used to inter-connect the administration centre to other Council buildings in diverse locations throughout Redcliffe, including a museum, art gallery and library and sporting and recreational complexes. By selecting KRONE's TrueNet solution Redcliffe City Council now has a structured cabling system that addresses the one thing critical to IT and network managers - efficient data throughput. Each component of the TrueNet solution is impedance matched and tested during installation to ensure the network is completely free from data errors in the cabling channel that cause data re- transmissions resulting in network downtime or slowtime. By using our PBE methodology, it will give greater flexibility, superior reliability and a neater, tidier cable management system allowing Redcliffe's IT department to do all their own moves adds and changes. As a TrueNet customer, Redcliffe City Council receives our unique 20/20/5 warranty comprising a 20-year all-inclusive industry standards compliance warranty, including all parts labour and service, plus a five-year TrueNet throughput warranty guaranteeing zero bit error rate (ZBER) performance. . www.krone.com.au 6062 05/03 Redcliffe goes Platinum Located on the northern peninsula of Moreton Bay, about 45 minutes drive from Brisbane, Redcliffe was the site. warranty comprising a 20-year all-inclusive industry standards compliance warranty, including all parts labour and service, plus a five-year TrueNet throughput
