Pricewaterhouse Coopers

Enterprise IT Passive Cabling and Audio-Visual Infrastructure Across Bangalore and Hyderabad Campuses

Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC), one of the world’s most influential consulting and professional services organizations, operates large-scale delivery and innovation centres in Bangalore and Hyderabad. These campuses support continuous client engagement, extensive hybrid collaboration, data-driven consulting assignments, and mission-critical service delivery operations. To enable seamless digital interaction and strengthen its workplace technology backbone, PwC required a modernized IT passive cabling and audio-visual infrastructure engineered for performance, consistency, and future-ready scalability.

Orchids Network & Systems (I) Pvt. Ltd. was selected to design and implement a comprehensive technology upgrade that unifies the network foundation and transforms collaborative spaces across both locations.

Project Objective

PwC’s objective was to build a standardized, enterprise-grade cabling ecosystem capable of supporting high-density user environments, cloud-native applications, secure data movement, and high-availability consulting workflows. Simultaneously, PwC required a cutting-edge audio-visual infrastructure to elevate hybrid meetings, multi-location presentations, digital conferencing, training sessions, and global team collaboration.

The solution had to align with PwC’s stringent global IT governance, security protocols, and uniform experience guidelines used across their global offices.

Solution Delivered by Orchids Network & Systems

High-Performance Structured Cabling Architecture

Orchids deployed a unified structured cabling system using CAT6A shielded copper for workstation connectivity and high-speed access layers. Fiber backbone links were engineered to interconnect buildings, communication rooms, and executive collaboration zones to guarantee low latency, high throughput, and minimal signal interference. All cabling pathways were designed with precision containment, optimized bend radii, and a standardized labelling system to ensure full alignment with PwC’s global infrastructure framework.

Every link was validated through rigorous certification processes, enabling predictable data performance across both campuses. The resulting infrastructure supports high-bandwidth workloads, secure data processing, and the high user density typical of consulting and analytics teams.

Advanced Audio-Visual Infrastructure for Hybrid Collaboration

PwC’s work culture demands real-time communication, cross-office coordination, and immersive digital meeting experiences. Orchids implemented an enterprise-grade AV system across meeting rooms, training halls, client interaction suites, and collaborative pods.

This included intelligent displays, professional-grade conferencing systems, ceiling microphones, room-based audio optimization, wireless presentation gateways, and control processors for centralized management. Rooms were acoustically optimized and calibrated to deliver clear voice capture, echo reduction, and reliable video clarity even in long-duration or multi-participant sessions.

The AV system was integrated seamlessly with PwC’s global communication platforms, enabling consistent user experience, secure content sharing, and reliable cross-location connectivity.

Multi-Campus Coordination and Delivery Excellence

Orchids executed the project across both Bangalore and Hyderabad in a synchronized deployment format, ensuring uniformity in design, engineering standards, documentation, and project governance. Installations were performed without disrupting ongoing consulting operations, using off-peak hours and staged execution plans. A consolidated project office monitored progress, approvals, and compliance documentation, ensuring that both campuses received identical quality outputs.

This unified approach allowed PwC’s IT team to manage and scale the deployed solutions effortlessly while maintaining complete visibility and control over infrastructure evolution.

Security and Compliance Integration

All cabling and AV systems were deployed in accordance with PwC’s global compliance frameworks, including access control restrictions, network segmentation requirements, and secure integration guidelines. Cabling routes, AV processors, and control systems were mapped to PwC’s internal audit structure, ensuring traceability, accountability, and full compatibility with corporate cybersecurity standards.

Outcome and Measurable Impact

PwC’s Bangalore and Hyderabad campuses now operate on a highly optimized, future-ready passive cabling foundation capable of supporting advanced digital workloads and enterprise collaboration tools. Network latency was reduced significantly, improving response times for consulting, tax, assurance, advisory, and data analytics teams. The standardized AV infrastructure delivered a consistent and reliable hybrid meeting experience, improving cross-office collaboration, client engagement, and internal communication effectiveness.

The new technology backbone supports expansions, modernization initiatives, cloud migrations, and digital consulting capabilities while simplifying IT maintenance and governance across locations.
