Disruption: Hexagon – media technology failure

2023/10/26

+++ Update from 11.07.2023: At present, the all-clear cannot yet be given. Further parts of the media technology installation have been switched off and parts of the network infrastructure have been removed. The retrofitting of the air-conditioning technology is planned for the beginning of the winter semester 2023/24. +++ +++ Update from 03.07.2023: At the moment, the emergency solution is working – with significantly lower outside temperatures. The next challenge will be the 34° outdoor temperature predicted for the weekend. +++ +++ Update from 28.06.2023: We can cautiously give the all-clear. The units were obviously not permanently damaged by the heat. At the moment, only the connection panels on the consoles can be used. Nevertheless, transmission is possible from 08 to 0012. We hope that this will stabilise the situation. +++ The media technology in the three lecture halls S3|11/08, 0012 and 006 is currently not running stably because the technology room reaches temperatures of up to 50° Celsius and equipment therefore switches off. A solution is being worked on. It is not foreseeable whether the various emergency solutions will actually suffice to get the problem under control.
