Short delivery windows
Large scopes are often expected between the final bell and staff return, making surveys, procurement, staging, and acceptance critical.
District standards, school-level execution
It happens over the summer, or it does not happen.
Classroom and office connectivity, wireless, backbone, cameras, controlled entry, intercom, and paging, planned against the school calendar, because the window is the summer.
The problems we design around
Start with what creates delay, risk, and repeat work.
District standards drift by campus
Building age, additions, prior vendors, and incomplete records create support and budgeting inconsistency.
Safety systems need shared context
Entry, intercom, cameras, paging, visitor workflows, and network dependencies must be coordinated with district policy.
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
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.
02
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.
03
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.
04
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.
05
Intercom, paging, and mass communication
Entry communication, operational paging, and targeted announcements that reach the right areas without creating noise everywhere else.
- Zone and use-case planning
- Door, gate, desk, and facility-station options
- Speaker, endpoint, and network pathways
- Priority, schedule, and emergency-interface coordination
Pricing pathDesign-to-quote from station and zone count, audio conditions, access-control integration, and existing-system compatibility.
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.
