Featured Project: Marikina Polytechnic College – Campus ICT & Network Infrastructure Upgrade

Project Overview

Marikina Polytechnic College embarked on a major infrastructure upgrade to strengthen its digital foundation and support the growing demands of technology-driven education. With increasing reliance on online platforms, digital classrooms, and campus-wide connectivity, the institution required a robust, secure, and scalable ICT infrastructure.

AVLS was engaged to deliver a campus-grade network and structured cabling solution, designed to improve performance, reliability, and long-term readiness for future expansion.

The Challenge

As an academic institution serving a large student population, Marikina Polytechnic College needed an ICT environment that could:

• Support high volumes of simultaneous users
• Provide stable and fast connectivity across campus facilities
• Protect institutional data and systems from cyber threats
• Ensure continuous operation despite power interruptions
• Maintain organized, standards-compliant cabling infrastructure

The challenge was to modernize the campus network while ensuring reliability, security, and scalability—without disrupting daily academic operations.

The AVLS Solution

AVLS delivered a comprehensive ICT and network infrastructure upgrade, covering core systems, security, power protection, and structured cabling.

Campus Network Core & Distribution

A high-capacity switching and routing environment was deployed to form the backbone of the campus network. This allows efficient handling of data traffic across academic buildings, offices, and shared facilities, ensuring consistent connectivity for learning and administrative systems.

Network Security & Protection

A centralized security gateway was implemented to safeguard the campus network. This provides traffic inspection, threat prevention, and access control—helping protect students, faculty, and institutional data from digital risks.

Power Protection & System Reliability

Uninterruptible power systems and proper equipment enclosures were installed to protect critical network components. This minimizes downtime, safeguards hardware, and ensures continued operation during power fluctuations or outages.

Structured Cabling & Fiber Infrastructure

AVLS implemented a structured cabling system using industry-standard copper and fiber components. This ensures clean signal transmission, organized pathways, and long-term maintainability across classrooms, offices, and network rooms.

Professional Integration & Commissioning

The project included complete engineering services—covering supply, installation, configuration, testing, and commissioning. All systems were validated to ensure stable operation and readiness for daily academic use.

The Outcome

Marikina Polytechnic College now operates with a modern, secure, and high-performance campus ICT infrastructure that delivers:

• Faster and more reliable network connectivity
• Improved support for digital learning platforms and online resources
• Stronger cybersecurity and system protection
• Reduced downtime through power backup and system redundancy

A Featured Client Story: Tagum City Historical & Cultural Center – Tagumpay Theater

When the City Government of Tagum envisioned the Tagum Historical & Cultural Center, they weren’t just building another venue — they were creating a legacy. A library, museum, and a groundbreaking 1,000-seater theater all in one landmark facility.

For a venue designed to preserve culture, tell stories, and host world-class performances, the Tagumpay Theater needed a stage solution that was versatile, reliable, and truly performance-ready.

AVLS was trusted to deliver exactly that.

The Challenge

The City Government needed a complete stage ecosystem that could support cultural shows, government events, film screenings, concerts, theater productions and ceremonial programs.

All in a single venue — with zero compromise on control, flexibility, and durability.

The solution required a blend of mechanized staging, professional lighting, high-performance audio, and a cinematic projection system that could match the scale and prestige of the theater.

The AVLS Solution: A Complete Stage Transformation

To meet the theater’s diverse production requirements,

• AVLS installed a full suite of motorized curtain and stage mechanisms to allow Tagumpay Theater to instantly shift from dramatic stage productions to formal city events with ease and elegance
  
• AVLS configured a professional stage lighting system that integrates with remote and DMX control for easy scene changes
• AVLS equipped the theater with a robust immersive audio system to support speech, performances and musical events.  Featuring 32-channel hybrid mixer, full-range and sub-speakers with fly bar rigging, stage monitors, wires and wireless vocal microphones and boom stands. Together, they provide clear, powerful, and reliable reinforcement across the entire 1,000-seat venue
• AVLS installed Panasonic 12,000 lumens laser projector, Cyclorama Cinema Screen, HDMI matrix, HDBaseT extender, projector mount and AVR for voltage stability which, together, results to bright, crisp, and cinema-grade viewing experience.

A Cultural Landmark, Elevated with Technology

The Tagum City Historical & Cultural Center is more than a building, it is the Mother of All Infrastructures in Tagum City, a symbol of heritage and resilience.

The Tagumpay Theater, the first of its kind in the Davao Region, now stands as a fully equipped, professionally integrated venue capable of hosting anything from state-of-the-city addresses to full-scale theatrical productions.

AVLS is proud to have contributed to the city’s vision of celebrating culture, stories, and community through world-class AV-IT solutions.
