This project aims to design, construct, and operationalize a modern broadcasting data center that integrates cutting-edge IT systems with advanced broadcast technologies. The Key features are:
Walta Media and Communication Corporate S.C. (WMCC), headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is a state-owned media organization established in 1994. Initially known as the Walta Information Center, WMCC has evolved into a comprehensive media house, encompassing television, radio, and digital platforms.
Walta TV Launched on April 7, 2017, Walta TV is a satellite television network broadcasting primarily in Amharic. The channel is accessible via multiple satellite platforms, including Eutelsat 7 West A, Belintersat-1, and Ethiosat.
In December 2024, Walta Media and Communication Corporate (WMCC) merged with Fana Broadcasting Corporation (FBC) to form Fana Media Corporation (FMC).
The strategy is to plan and design a reliable, secure, and flexible backbone for broadcast operations, integrating IT and media systems seamlessly:
Target
Construct a Broadcast Station
The design approach involves specialized considerations to ensure it meets the unique needs of broadcasting services.
In the project, it plays a critical role — not just in installing and managing servers, but also in making sure the station’s digital backbone is reliable, secure, and ready for broadcast operations.
The broadcast station is a facility used to transmit audio and video content to the public. The key features are:
The TV Station Data Center is a critical component in broadcasting operations, managing the storage, processing, and distribution of vast amounts of content and data. It is designed to ensure reliable, efficient, and high-quality delivery of television content to viewers.
This project aims to design, construct, and operationalize a modern Security Operations Center (SOC Room). It is a facility where an organization’s information security team can monitor, detect, respond to, and mitigate cybersecurity threats.
The construction of the SOC requires a careful blend of physical space design, technology infrastructure, personnel requirements, and security processes. It involves:
