Network and collaboration

The network infrastructure is the foundation of the productivity of any working environment, whether it is related to communication, security or anything in between. Proper design and deployment will be directly proportional to the efficiency and output. Consequently, our projects always begin with the proper design of the IP Backbone to meet each client's unique business requirements.

IQ ensures that your network is efficient, optimized, secure and redundant.

Switching & Routing

Switching and routing are two core functions of any communications network

  • Switches create a network.
  • Routers connect networks.

Together, they are the building blocks for all business communications, from data to voice and video to wireless access. They can improve profitability by enabling your company to increase productivity, trim business expenses, and improve security and customer service.

Beyond the proper design of the network to meet the client requirements, our success lies in the proper execution of projects in the unique environment that is Qatar. We can manage all the supply chain from procurement to importing and clearance with ICTQatar and customs. Once at site, we execute in coordination as required with the client, consultants, contractor and sub-contractors.

Our key partners are: Huawei, Cisco and Moxa.

Network Security

Effective network security targets a variety of threats and stops them from entering or spreading on your network.IQ will work to support the client's network administrator or system administrator to implement the security policy and hardware needed to protect the network and the resources accessed through the network from unauthorized access and also ensure that employees have adequate access to the network and resources to work. This typically relies on layers of protection and consists of multiple components including networking monitoring and in addition to hardware and appliances. All components work together to increase the overall security of the computer network:

  • Anti-virus and anti-spyware
  • Firewall, to block unauthorized access to your network
  • Intrusion prevention systems (IPS), to identify fast-spreading threats, such as zero-day or zero-hour attacks
  • Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), to provide secure remote access
Our key partners are: Fortinet, Huawei, Cisco and Symantec.

Wireless

A basic business requirement has become the ability to provide anywhere, anytime access to network resources with the same quality of experience that a wired network delivers. Pre-deployment planning can make a difference in terms of ensuring the optimal speed, scalability, and security of a wireless LAN.

By first defining the pre requisites and understanding the layout, a heatmap can be designed to define the optimal positioning of the Access Points (APs). Ultimately it can be deployed as stand alone APsor centrally controlled coordinated Aps, and either as a stand alone network solution or to extend the capabilities of an existing wired network.

Our key partners are: Aruba, Huawei and Cisco.

Our key partners are: Panduit and Brand-Rex.

VOIP Telephony / Collaboration

A VoIP phone is a telephone set designed specifically for use in a voice over IP (VoIP) system by converting standard telephone audio into a digital format that can be transmitted over the Internet, and by converting incoming digital phone signals from the Internet to standard telephone audio. Enterprise collaboration enables employees in an organization to share information with one another and work together on projects from different geographic locations through a combination of software technologies, networking capabilities and collaborative processes.

Audio visual systems

Audio systems

Taking into account the environment of each installation, we consider all the variables to ensure the quality of the sound is at the highest level.

Video systems

Video and display systems vary across a range of applications and configurations, and depending on the situation, the equipment will follow. The environment and usage will dictate if we will use LEDs, Front Projection, Rear Projection, drop-down, or pop-up lifts. Beyond that, from control centers to digital art presentation systems, video walls are becoming more and more popular.

iptv & digital signage

Clients can maximize their existing IP network infrastructure by delivering high impact TV and video, and reach virtually an unlimited number of end users. The ease of use and centralized management of the entire system allows for complex functionality to be rapidly deployed.

With Digital Signage our clients can develop a platform for interactive media experiences so as to deliver and manage applications to communicate, connect, and engage customers and employees in a unique way. Leveraging signage as a platform, clients can go beyond the delivery of static information and advertising, and create new and innovative experiences across a variety of verticals, from Hotels to Stadiums to Hospitals, including:

  • Executive and organizational communications
  • Advertising
  • Customer, patient, or citizen interaction
  • Directions and transportation information
  • Safety and security
Our key partners are: Cisco, Appspace, TriplePlay, and Exterity.

public address

As an important part of an Industrial, Commercial or Enterprise environment, PAGA is meant to make announcements during normal operation and in emergency situations. Apart from making announcements, these systems also provide Alarm Notification and method of two way communication between point to point or point to multi-point. PAGA systems should interface with other systems such as telephone (VoIP) or radio to further enhance the operational and functional aspect.

videoconferencing

We empower our clients (large and small) to use video for faster and more productive collaboration and communication, as well as for sharing information and insights.Improve team productivity, strengthen customer relationships, and scale expertise throughout your organization and beyond with live and on-demand video collaboration and content sharing.

Videoconferencing solutions can be as simple as from your desktop or mobile, to a conference room, to a full telepresence solution. And can be deployed locally within Qatar, or globally to all client’s offices.

Our key partners are: Cisco and Huawei .

physical security

We offer a range of security solutions from Access Control to CCTV, in order to comply with the regulations

CCTV SYSTEMS

CCTV (closed-circuit television) is a TV system in which signals are not publicly distributed but are monitored, primarily for surveillance and security purposes. CCTV relies on strategic placement of cameras and private observation of the camera's input on monitors.

ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS

Access control is the selective restriction of access to a place or other resource. The act of accessing may mean consuming, entering, or using. Permission to access a resource is called authorization.

Gate Barriers

Act as the outermost layer of security. There are different types of barrier gates depending on the purpose it is meant for. A barrier gate is often controlled by a mechanical device called the gate operator, which is a device that mechanically (electromechanical or hydraulic) used to open and close a gate.

INTRUSION DETECTION

Alarm Systems and Sensors can be installed to alert security personnel when unauthorized access is attempted. Alarm systems work in tandem with physical barriers, mechanical systems, and security guards, serving to trigger a response when these other forms of security have been breached. They consist of sensors including motion sensors, contact sensors, and glass break detectors.

INTERCOM

An intercom (intercommunication device), talkback or doorphone is a stand-alone voice communications system for use within a building or small collection of buildings, functioning independently of the public telephone network.

CAR PARK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Represents multiple parking technologies beyond revenue and access control, which typically apply to off-street parking facilities. Other systems represented by CPMS include meter revenue systems, Parking guidance systems, systems that track occupancy, and other systems that do not necessarily include access and revenue control.

it enterprise

We provide the Enterprise technology solutions to ensure that organizations function properly. This includes customized solutions that involve designing, implementing, testing and deploying technology and business solutions based on Microsoft's enterprise platform including Developer Tools and the suite of Windows Server Systems. This can range from a simple File Server, to complete messaging and collaborative workgroup solutions for email, fax, calendaring, scheduling, reporting, and document management

SERVERS

As Microsoft Silver Datacenter partners, we leverage Windows Server Systems for our deployments as we can host software applications under the heavy demand of a network environment.

  • Towers: If space is not a concern, we can usually get more drives and more hardware into a single tower. For scalability, however, space can become a real concern.
  • Rack Servers: Racks are designed to hold multiple servers, and rack servers are specially constructed to fit in these small spaces. Since these are essentially stacked right on top of each other, it makes cooling more difficult, while scaling is much easier.
  • Blade Servers: Although very similar to rack servers in design, some components have been removed from blade servers and are instead shared among multiple ones. This makes blade servers even thinner, but also more expensive.
Our key partners are: Microsoft, Dell, Cisco, and Huawei .

storage

As data is the critical component of any organization, we tailor the storage solutions depending on whether it is for documents or videos as for CCTV. Our goal is to achieve higher scalability and higher reliability with better fault tolerance, depending on your needs:

  • Online Storage: Disk array solutions, minimizing access time to the data, and maximizing reliability
  • Backup: Off-line storage for data protection, cost-effective but longer access time, e.g. tape libraries
  • Archiving: Technically similar to backup, but better used for long-term retention (i.e. for regulatory compliance or litigation protection)
  • Disaster Recovery: protect the data from localized disasters, usually being a vital part of broader business continuity plan.
Our key partners are: Huawei, Dell, and EMC .

Software

Besides offering customized enterprise solutions that involve designing, implementing, testing and deploying technology and business solutions based on Microsoft's enterprise platform, we also work with Dassault Systemès and Oracle Primavera Unifier.

The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry faces several challenges, such as providing a high quality experience for tenants, maintaining sustainability, improving project productivity and efficiency, and ensuring construction worker safety, among others. Of course, all of these must be done while completing the project under budget.

Dassault Systemès, the 3D Social Industry Experience Company, provides a business platform on premise, on line, on the cloud, powered by a suite of software applications that permit social and industrial collaboration.

unified communication

Unified communications is an increasingly important investment for our clients looking to improve productivity and responsiveness while reducing their IT costs. The convergence of voice, video, and data communications around a shared IP-based infrastructure - allowing users to easily make a call, send a message, or join an audio or videoconference - is bringing benefits to businesses of every size, industry, and geography.

The benefits are clear when we integrate real-time or near-real time unified messaging, collaboration and interactive systems. For example, a single user can access a variety of communication applications such as e-mail, SMS, video, fax, voice, and others through a single user mailbox. Additionally, unified communications has expanded to incorporate collaboration and other interactive systems such as scheduling, workflow, instant messaging and voice response systems.

Our key partners are: Cisco, Huawei, and Avaya .
