Commercial
IRS Systems
Full digital switchover compliance and very flexible for end user and most important very cost effective. Tenants choose themselves if they wish to subscribe to these services. IRS Systems in the basic terms are a dish, TV aerial and radio aerials for analogue and digital TV, combined and brought down one cable to the tenant. This then gives each individual tenant through one cable, Satellite and Digital aerial, Analogue aerial signals.
If your tenant requires reception also from more than one satellite via this communal system, which is common place now for local authorities and housing associations, this is possible quite simple with a change of electronics, extra dish and 4 more cables down from the roof with an extra satellite dish pointing to a different satellite.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does commercial CCTV installation cost?
Commercial CCTV installation costs vary based on several factors including the number of cameras required, building size and layout, and system complexity. For a basic system with 4-6 cameras, expect to invest between £2,000-£5,000 including professional installation. Larger installations with advanced features such as night vision, analytics and remote monitoring can range from £8,000-£15,000 or more. At Abacus Aerials, we provide free site surveys and custom quotes tailored to your specific security requirements, ensuring you get the right system for your budget.
What are the benefits of smart lighting for businesses?
Smart lighting offers significant advantages for commercial premises. Energy savings are substantial—businesses typically reduce lighting energy consumption by 30-70% compared to traditional systems through automation and LED technology. Beyond cost savings, smart lighting improves employee productivity and wellbeing by allowing customized lighting levels that support natural circadian rhythms. The systems provide complete control via mobile devices or automated schedules, enhance security through timed operation, and integrate seamlessly with other building management systems. Many businesses also qualify for rebates and incentives when upgrading to energy-efficient smart lighting solutions.
How long does commercial Wi-Fi installation take?
The timeframe for commercial Wi-Fi installation depends on your premises size and complexity. A small office or retail space typically requires 1-2 days for a complete installation including site survey, equipment setup and testing. Medium-sized businesses with multiple floors or complex layouts may need 3-5 days. Larger commercial properties, warehouses or multi-building installations can take 1-2 weeks. At Abacus Aerials, we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business operations, often scheduling installation work outside of business hours when requested. We’ll provide you with a detailed timeline during your free initial consultation.
Do I need professional installation for commercial sound systems?
Professional installation is strongly recommended for commercial sound systems to ensure optimal performance and compliance. Expert installers assess your venue’s acoustics, recommend appropriate equipment for your space, and ensure proper speaker placement for balanced sound distribution throughout your premises. Professional installation also includes discreet cable management, integration with existing systems and thorough testing. DIY installations often result in poor sound quality, coverage gaps and potential equipment damage. Our experienced team at Abacus Aerials guarantees quality workmanship and ensures your sound system performs flawlessly from day one.
What ongoing costs should I expect with commercial security and networking systems?
Beyond initial installation, commercial systems have several ongoing costs to consider. For CCTV systems, expect monthly cloud storage fees ranging from £10-£50 per month depending on retention periods and camera count, plus occasional maintenance costs. Commercial Wi-Fi systems require monthly internet service fees (typically £50-£150+ depending on speed and bandwidth), potential equipment rental fees and annual maintenance. Smart lighting systems have minimal ongoing costs—mainly electricity savings—but may require occasional software updates. We recommend budgeting 10-15% of your initial investment annually for maintenance and support to ensure your systems continue performing optimally.
