Case Studies

The GMU dispatch office is located in the crowded, busy 911 center. By connecting securely to the campus LAN, the Keltron LS 7000 enables the system manager to program and maintain the system from a remote location without disrupting the activity in the dispatch center.

The relationship between colleges and universities and their supporting municipal fire departments is a critical point of focus in providing high-quality life safety response on campus. The volunteer fire department in the town of Bristol, Rhode Island improved its life safety response to local college, Roger Williams University using a unique combination of technology and procedure.

After five years of research and consideration, the University of Maryland chose Keltron’s life safety event management solution to combine their existing equipment with a Keltron’s UL listed, high technology signaling system to ensure optimal response to campus incidents.

As the last user of the legacy copper infrastructure, this campus facilities services department recognized that the university needed a system that would transmit campus alarm signals using the well-established Ethernet/LAN network. They determined that the Keltron Ethernet Signaling System was the most cost-effective and efficient way to make the technology transition.

As part of Florida State University’s commitment to provide state-of-the-art safety and security systems across all of its campuses, the Fire Safety group added Keltron’s LS 7000 life safety event management system to its high performance active network radio system. The Keltron LS 7000 system provides FSU with network access, expanded history functionality and unlimited scalability.

How do you seamlessly upgrade one of the world’s largest utilities’ security monitoring systems in a post-911 world? Con Edison’s Corporate Security team acknowledged that its infrastructure and customer demands provided challenges and after researching and reviewing the systems available, Keltron Corporation provided the best and most cost-effective solution.

Because proceeds from subscriber alarm monitoring fees cover 100% of the equipment, installation and on-going maintenance costs, the City of Naperville was able to purchase and implement the entire system with no upfront cost to the city.

Miami University of Ohio’s new fire alarm monitoring system needed to meet comprehensive requirements: UL-listing for fire alarm monitoring, the ability to connect with various different manufacturers’ fire alarm control panels, the capability of transmitting all information from each type of addressable fire alarm panel, redundancy and the ability to monitor the system from more than one station.

Dual head ends ensure that a catastrophic event cannot render the entire system inoperable; radios function as both transmitters and repeaters.
