Every building has a different history
Pathways, documentation, standards, construction, and ownership vary across years of campus growth.
Campus-scale technology
A campus is dozens of buildings, each with its own history.
Campus backbone, wireless, classroom media, cameras, access, residence life, and athletics, phased across buildings that were each wired in a different decade.
The problems we design around
Start with what creates delay, risk, and repeat work.
Demand changes by hour and calendar
Class changes, events, residence life, athletics, research, and summer projects create very different capacity and access conditions.
Projects cross too many owners
IT, facilities, public safety, academic units, contractors, and procurement need one visible scope and acceptance path.
Systems that fit the operation
One environment. Connected layers.
Every layer is scoped with its purpose, dependencies, administrator, acceptance evidence, and change boundary. Select systems can stand alone; integrated programs share one site plan and closeout.
01
Fiber and building backbone
High-capacity links between rooms, buildings, production areas, and critical systems with a testable handoff.
- Single-mode and multimode design
- Pathway, enclosure, and termination planning
- Fusion splicing and loss testing as scoped
- Backbone labeling and as-built records
Pricing pathFiber is priced from route, strand count, termination, pathway, access, and test requirements after a site or drawing review.
02
Business and guest Wi-Fi
Wireless coverage designed around people, handhelds, scanners, tablets, operational devices, and guest traffic instead of a residential router model.
- Coverage and capacity planning
- Separate staff, guest, device, and operations networks
- Indoor and outdoor access-point options
- Validation, naming, and handoff documentation
Pricing pathInstalled indoor and outdoor access-point pricing is shown below; final quantities follow the facility layout and coverage plan.
03
Network core and structured cabling
A documented physical layer for point-of-sale, workstations, phones, devices, cameras, controls, and future expansion.
- MDF and IDF planning
- Cat6 or Cat6A pathways and drops
- Racks, patching, UPS, labeling, and test results
- Switching, routing, and deployment configuration
Pricing pathPublished network packages and installed per-drop options are shown below. Larger environments are built in the project estimator.
04
Collaboration and presentation systems
Meeting, training, classroom, public-address, and presentation spaces designed for predictable everyday use.
- Display, camera, microphone, speaker, and control plan
- Room-compute and bring-your-own-device options
- Acoustic and sightline coordination
- User presets, labeling, and quick-start documentation
Pricing pathDesign-to-quote by room size, display count, audio coverage, control platform, mounting, and integration requirements.
05
Access control and controlled entry
Credentialed doors, gates, restricted areas, and entry records tied to the way the facility actually operates.
- Door and hardware review
- Local or cloud-managed credentials
- Schedules, groups, and administrator setup
- Intercom and camera coordination where required
Pricing pathPublished one-door and four-door packages are shown below; door condition and life-safety interfaces are verified before agreement.
06
Video security and operational visibility
Camera placement, recording, viewing, and retention planned around the decisions the footage must support.
- Indoor, outdoor, overview, detail, and specialty views
- Local, cloud-managed, and open-platform options
- Retention and viewing-station planning
- Placement schedule, naming, and administrator handoff
Pricing pathLocal and cloud-managed camera packages plus installed per-camera options are shown below.
Product options and published pricing
Concrete starting points—not a mystery quote.
These are current GHT catalog planning prices for standard scope. They show the hardware class, included installation, and recurring platform cost when applicable. Site conditions, pathways, quantities, schedule, taxes, licensing term, and verified scope can change the fixed agreement.
