The Bronx, NY

Forest Electric New York provided data, telecommunications, and security systems for a new 10-story Public Safety Answering Center (PSAC) that will expand 911 services for the city.

We furnished and installed end-to-end data systems, including a Cat6A copper plant and a 10-gigabit fiber plant, in order to provide the fastest and most up-to-date IT solutions for the call center. 

PSAC handles approximately 11 million emergency calls a year, so it was vital that their data systems have the capacity and sophistication needed to handle high volume.

Our scope of work included:

  • Grounding system
  • Security system
  • Data center
  • Radio room
  • Telecommunications/data systems
  • Copper and fiber cabling

The Public Safety Answering Service is the information technology and communications hub of the New York City Police Department and New York City Fire Department.
