Standing a proud 632 meters above the streets of the megacity, Shanghai Tower is
China’s tallest landmark and the second tallest building in the world after Dubai’s
Burj Khalifa. Located in the Lujiazui financial district, the structure was completed at
the end of last year following a six-year construction project. It consists of 127
mixed-use floors above ground and 5 underground and dubbed a “vertical city’,
Shanghai Tower will be home to many green spaces, offices, entertainment, retail
and cultural venues as well as a luxury hotel.

A key feature of the tower’s security solution includes a network of 2,100 high
resolution fixed Bosch DINION and FLEXIDOME cameras as well as moving
AUTODOME cameras, dotted throughout the building, covering a full range of
operational needs. Thanks to Bosch starlight technology, these cameras ensure 24/7
high-resolution video regardless of lighting conditions or object movement.

The Bosch AUTODOME IP cameras also feature Intelligent Tracking allowing the
tower’s security personnel to automatically track moving targets throughout the
building based on predefined alarm rules or a simple click. Camera settings are
continuously and dynamically adjusted depending on movement, the tower’s varying
light intensity and front and backlight fluctuations thanks to Intelligent Auto
Exposure and Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction.

150 integrated Bosch VIDEOJET 7000 decoders controlled by Bosch Video
Management Software (BVMS) allow security staff to continuously monitor live and
playback security video even in the event of an interruption or failure. Finally, the
Bosch 2PB DSA-E series storage system was chosen for long-term video recording
to ensure retention and reliability.

For a safe and fast evacuation in the event of an emergency, the tower is equipped
with a digital Bosch PRAESIDEO public address and voice evacuation system. With
more than 100 amplifiers and 6,000 loudspeakers strategically distributed
throughout the building security personnel can distribute highly intelligible and
targeted evacuation instructions to different areas of the tower. The audio and
control signals of six control rooms are connected through a local area network
within the tower, forming a redundant loop. This loop means that even in the event
of a breakdown of one tower’s control rooms, evacuation messages can continue to
be broadcasted throughout the building ensuring the orderly evacuation of visitors
and personnel. The tower’s surveillance system is also supported by Bosch’s Blue
Line Gen2 intrusion detectors and 12 sets of DS7400XI Bosch Intrusion Control
Panels.

Shanghai Tower also features a multifunction conference centre as well as a
multifunction banquet hall in the podium building of the tower. For improved audio
performance for the conference centre’s events, products from Electro-voice, also a
brand of the Bosch group, were also chosen. This includes 100 EVID Loudspeakers
strategically placed throughout the centre to provide an optimal audio experience
for conference and event participants. In addition, EVF loudspeakers, Tour Grade
(TG) and Contractor precision series (CPS) amplifies, RE series microphones etc.
were also selected to provide a high-quality sound experience for the Shanghai
Tower.
