Edge Services Platform
  • Building Footfall and Occupancy Management

    Managing the number of people within enclosed spaces is pre-requisite for social distancing and Government compliance, however, in most cases, this has been achieved using manual counting. At DTP, we offer a solution that provides real-time footfall and occupancy management within a building or zone using the existing WiFi infrastructure. The solution anonymously logs visitor without the need to download an app, allowing operations teams to provide building access and security personnel with up-to-the-minute information. Delivered through a mobile-friendly portal, building accesses can even be linked to smart signage via an API to create a traffic light system at entrances, with threshold alerts sent to the relevant person in real-time.

  • Smart Buildings and Intelligent Spaces

    Delivering in-building services was once limited to enterprise software applications with enterprise software application price tickets. Over recent years, a host of more cost-effective smart apps have come to market. This allows organisations to manage staff and guests on-site and offer automated booking facilities for meeting rooms, hot desks and car park spaces; guest and reception management; and staff safety management. Added to employee engagement components, we’ve seen how low-cost, pay as you use, mobile app-based solutions can be extremely valuable in the new norm.

  • Throughout our partnership with DTP, we’ve always known that if there was a problem, DTP would be there to fix it. They’ve always been available and looked after us and our equipment. We knew if we went with Aruba we could count on that level of support.

  • What is the “edge”?

    The “edge” refers to the outermost part of a computer network, where end-user and IoT devices such as laptops, smartphones, sensors, and security cameras meet the network. The data from these devices is generated, processed, and transmitted to the rest of the network from the edge.

  • Why is edge computing important?

    The demand on the edge of networks has increased over recent years due to the surging number of mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Each of these devices generate data which must be processed, resulting in network congestion, and growing demands on the data centre. 

    Improving computing power at the edge optimises your network, allowing data to be generated and processed outside of the data centre. The benefits of this include digital transformation opportunities, security and privacy enhancements, minimal latency, and reduced costs.

  • Why is network security important?

    Today, most modern organisations rely on their networks to store, transmit, and access sensitive information, making it a target for cyber attacks and data breaches. Network security helps to protect against unauthorised access, theft of sensitive information, and other malicious activities that can compromise the integrity and availability of an organisation’s network. By implementing robust security measures, organisations can reduce their risk of being targeted and ensure the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of their data and resources.

  • What is Enterprise Networking?

    “Enterprise networking” is the application of computer networks within an organisation to support its daily operations and business aims. An enterprise network often utilises a range of solutions such as local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN) and the cloud to connect devices and servers across the organisation.

    The reliability of an enterprise network is crucial to ensure business continuity. Networks are used for communication and collaboration between customers and employees, allowing them to generate, access, store and share data.

    Key components of an enterprise network include routers, switches and firewalls. Other aspects include security, management and monitoring tools. Enterprise networking is designed to be highly secure, scalable, and reliable to support the needs and goals of the organisation.

  • What are the different types of networks?

    There are several types of networks, including local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN), wireless local area networks (WLAN), and personal area networks (PAN). Each type of network serves a specific purpose and is designed for a different scale of operation.

    LANs are typically used for small office or home networks and connect computers, printers, and other devices. WANs are used to connect LANs over a larger area, such as a city. WLANs use wireless technology, such as Wi-Fi, to connect devices over short distances, while PANs are even smaller, connecting devices within close proximity, such as a single room.

  • How does a network work?

    A network is a system of interconnected components that enables the exchange of data, resources, and information between different devices.

     

    The aspects of a network often include:

    • Devices: These are the endpoints of the network, such as computers, smartphones, routers, switches, and other components.
    • Connections: These are the links between the devices, such as cables and wireless links.
    • Network hardware: This includes components such as routers, switches, firewalls, and access points that control and manage the flow of data between devices.
    • Network protocols: These are the standards and rules that oversee the interaction between the devices.
