«Jeder Rappen zählt» – For mothers in need
From 12 December to 17 December 2011 Swiss Radio and Television (SRF) and Swiss Solidarity held their «Jeder Rappen zählt» fundraising campaign for the third time. Once again this year visitors and donors enjoyed the varied and entertaining supporting programme in the Europaplatz in Lucerne. Famous personalities such as the rapper Stress, singer Marit Larsen and DJ Tatana alternated as studio guests. Many school classes made the pilgrimage to Lucerne, marvelled at the radio presenters in the Glass Box and enjoyed the Christmas atmosphere.
Swisscom was a partner of «Jeder Rappen zählt» for the third time in 2011 and was there on location with Swisscom Event & Media Solutions’ latest truck, the EventStar. A call centre had been set up in the truck and was operated by Swisscom apprentices. Donations «For mothers in need» were accepted via this call centre.
Swisscom Event & Media Solutions set up the necessary telecommunications infrastructure on site, provided Internet and ISDN connections and gave round-the-clock support.

In order to set up the LAN, 1 km of LAN cable was laid. Thanks to IP-plus, speeds of between 500 MB and 1GB were achieved. Various telephones were provided, 7 SISCO switches were used and CIRUS access points were used to set up a WLAN which could be accessed by 680 people simultaneously. In this short-term campaign it was possible to make an additional 9 screens available for SRF and to set up Swisscom TV.
The project went without a hitch and to the customer’s full satisfaction. There was special praise for the flexibility with which even new requirements that emerged at short notice could be implemented quickly. The SRF employees were thrilled by the fast data lines that were set up for the video editing stations.
Within the framework of «Jeder Rappen zählt» the expertise of Swisscom Event & Media Solutions was used successfully for a good purpose, providing the crowing glory for the year 2011.
«This year is the third time that the fund-raising campaign «Jeder Rappen zählt»has once again been held successfully thanks to the assistance of Swisscom Event & Media Solutions Ltd. In a project which has the distribution of data via the media at its heart, the importance of technical infrastructure and connectivity should not be underestimated. Here we can count 100 percent on the best possible infrastructure and support on site. » Florian Birchmeier, overall project manager for Swisscom of «Jeder Rappen zählt».
