(AM/FM) should be provided by Contractor and Company shall determined the
programming setup during detailed engineering.
 The end user equipment (televisions, radios, VHS, VCD, DVD, etc.) quantities and
locations shall be designed by Contractor and approved by Company during detailed
engineering
 Frequency Band: In areas of persistent rain, fog, or snow conditions, the frequency
band should be chosen to minimize signal attenuation.

The video-on-demand and music-on-demand server allows users to watch video content on
demand. It also allows users to listen to audio content on their televisions in the comfort of their
rooms/cabins. Download and streaming video / audio on demand systems provide the user with
a large subset of VCR functionality including pause, fast forward, fast rewind, slow forward, slow
rewind, jump to previous/future frame etc. These functions are called “trick modes”.

The size of the Video on Demand server depends entirely on the Company’s preferences and
the amount of content they would like to store on the system. Each server shall have be capable
of storing anywhere from 2TB to 32TB. When more than one server is used to store content or
to provide additional streaming capacity all servers shall be capable of using load balancing or
clustering. All VOD servers shall be top of the line servers.

NOTE: The Video-on-demand feature broadcast the video / audio signals using LAN unicast
data stream. Each VoD service wiIl require a network link form the set top box to the
middleware server. It requires a tremendous amount of LAN bandwidth. Offer this

feature only when the LAN network has sufficient spare bandwidth and has the
capability to set QoS on the link.

This service shall not be offered to users at the initial stages of this project. Offer the
service only when the fiber backbone network is fully commissioned.

5.5 CONTENT AND DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT (DRM)

Content is digital media files to be used with the VoD system. The DRM shall allow the
Company to use the Video on Demand Server to load their proprietary content, such as training
videos. They DRM shall also allow for canned content from major movie studios. This will
necessitate the inclusion of a DRM server.

system shall use an industry standard DRM server/solution to ensure legal usage of the digital
content provided to the Company. This ensures that the Company is using the content that is
purchases in accordance with the licensing terms and conditions and also makes sure that they
are not violating any copyright/licensing regulations. All studios demand that the content is
protected by such systems to prevent illegal copying/transferring of content.

more easily, animations can be shown, and the signs can adapt to the context and audience,
even interactively.

The components of a typical digital signage installation shall include one or more display
screens, one or more media players, and a content management server. Sometimes two or
more of these components are present in a single device but typically there is a display screen,

8 SUPPORTING EQUIPMENTS

8.1 TEST EQUIPMENT

[A] [M] Maintaining equipment requires that operational parameters are tested routinely. At the
Commissioning and SAT, the initial parameters will be recorded and they will be retested
periodically according to established industry and Company preventive maintenance schedules.

27-JUN-2011, Rev. 0 IQWQ-FT-TSPDS-00-310801

Page 19 of 22
WEST QURNA I SPECIFICATION - AUDIO / VIDEO
ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM

This information is generally recorded and turned over to the Operating Company during
turnover and acceptance.
Depending on the size of the project, the following equipment and materials could be required to
test and maintain the audio/video entertainment system:
 Spectrum Analyzer capable of spanning the broadcast, and satellite frequency bands
 Watt/Power meter
 Digital Multimeter(s)
 Oscilloscope
 Transmission line analyzer
 Network Analyzer

8.2 SPARES

[A] [M] Project sparing for this project has generally been defined into two categories:

 Operational Spares: Operational Spares have historically been defined as spares to

replace items that could be expected to fail within a two year period after installation.
 Start-Up Spares: Start-Up Spares are generally smaller amounts of spare equipment
to replace equipment that may have been damaged during shipment or failed upon
installation.
In this project, a complete list of spares should include not only Manufacturer's recommended
spares, but additional equipment that may be deemed necessary to bring the system back into
operation in a timely manner. Depending on the country of Operation, spare equipment and
ancillary material may experience significant shipping delays caused by the remoteness of the
area or countries where it is known to have long lead time customs delays. These factors need
to be considered when developing the sparing strategy.

A set of start-up spares shall be handed over to the Company before system commissioning.
9 SAFETY AND SECURITY

9.1 SAFETY
[S] All communication systems including antennas shall be installed in non-hazardous areas.
Refer to project specification No. IQWQ-FT-ESPDS-00-160101 for additional information on site
classification.
Tower climbing has been noted by OSHA as one of the most dangerous jobs in the industry with
the most recorded safety incidents. Tower climbers must be experienced and some countries
require tower climbers to be certified. Double lanyard safety harnesses are required for tower
climbers. When a tower climber is on the tower for any work activity, a minimum of one person is
required on the ground as a safety monitor. The activities to be performed on the tower will
dictate how many men should be on the tower as well as the number of ground support staff.
Personnel Safety
Depending on the in-country requirements, some equipment may require certification that the
RF energy emitted is within acceptable limits. Certification may be required via an independent
study from a third party contractor/consultant. For further information on radiation hazard see
project specification No. IQWQ-FT-ESPDS-00-310303.

9.2 SITE SECURITY

Telecommunication sites and or equipment rooms generally require two forms of physical
security when gaining access to equipment. The physical security of the main bldg or room door
can be considered as one form of security. A second form of security within a locked building or
closet is a locked telecom cabinet. Refer to project specification No. IQWQ-FT-TSPDS-00-
310201 for additional information.
In areas where telecom buildings are installed in remote areas, a security fence has been a
project standard and serves as an additional means of physical security.
