Case Study: Mori Building Co. strengthens Roppongi Hills surveillance and disaster prevention with Allied Telesis

Robust Surveillance and Disaster Prevention for Mori Building

Mori Building Co., the developer and operator of Roppongi Hills in Tokyo, needed a highly reliable surveillance network to support safety, security, and disaster prevention across a large mixed-use urban complex visited by millions of people each year. The challenge was to transport continuous high-definition video from about 600 ITV cameras in the Mori Tower alone over a dedicated gigabit network to the disaster control center, while maintaining high availability, bandwidth, and simple maintenance. Allied Telesis provided its x900 Series advanced Layer 3 switches for the surveillance system infrastructure.

Allied Telesis implemented three AT-x900-24XT core switches connected to the camera edge switches with link aggregation to add redundancy and higher bandwidth, helping future-proof the network for higher-data cameras. The x900 Series’ VCStack capability also simplified management by making multiple switches appear as a single virtual chassis, improving operational ease and reliability. As a result, Mori Building Co. gained a robust, scalable surveillance network that supports 24/7 monitoring and strengthens the safety and security of Roppongi Hills.
