| IT, Telecom and Low-Voltage Design | We believe that intelligent buildings begin with intelligent design. The architectural design of modern buildings must integrate and coordinate voice and data transport systems (i.e., the electronic systems of communications, life safety and building automation). These must be included in the overall, multi-discipline planning and design process.
It is critical to involve an Information Technology (IT) consultant early enough in the process to allow this technological integration to happen. If the infrastructure for the information technology and communications systems is not considered soon enough, the cost of later retrofit can be exorbitant.
There are three distinct categories under the generic building IT infrastructure umbrella. They are:
- Communications – Structured cabling and connecting hardware, voice/data/video communications systems, telecom and data centers, wireless/radio systems, audio/video systems, distributed communications (e.g., dynamic signage and visual information displays, paging/public address, synchronized clock systems).
- Life Safety and Security – Access control, intrusion detection, video and audio surveillance, alarm/detection/monitoring.
- Integrated Automation – Network infrastructure for building automation systems and facility controls, telemetry, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA).
Our comprehensive telecommunications consulting and design services can help you attain that intelligent building. |
