headed by Dave McMahon and his team - lead by Meydan Project Manager Zahid Abbas Mir - had a hard task ahead. Dave McMahon of Dubai-based service provider Almoe AV Systems commented, "We had an enormous area to cover, extending from the track itself to the lower and main grandstands - fully 120m from front to back - and the associated delay posed a considerable challenge.
"We're talking more than 4,500 ceiling speakers across the entire facility, all of which are actively monitored. On race day, the network is designed to operate as one massive super system, all controlled by one of the largest CobraNet installations in the Middle East."
Almoe's project manager Zahid Abbas comments, "There are 21 remote racks in Meydan and the tricky part was to use the building's network infrastructure for the vertical network and a new installed horizontal network to cater for the system."
