Edwards Air Force Base Selects Celergy Networks to Improve Emergency
Communications System
San Clemente, CA. - February 21, 2007 - Celergy Networks, a national leader in the field of structured cabling and IT infrastructure installations, today announced that it has completed the design and installation of structured cabling to support an enhanced Voice-over-IP (VoIP) emergency communications system for fire protection services at Edwards Air Force Base.
Edwards Air Force Base covers more than 300,000 acres in Southern California, and is one of the largest Air Force Bases in the United States. There are more than 5,909 people, 1,678 households, and 1,515 families residing in the base. The base has five fire stations and 115 firefighters providing protection to homes, businesses, aircraft hangars, Air Force administration buildings and structures that house critical military research projects.
Celergy Networks designed an installed a comprehensive system providing enhanced communications between the base's central 911 emergency dispatch system and the widely distributed fire stations.
"Our old communications system was outdated, in disrepair and actually hampered our response time," said C.R. Eckroth," Edwards Air Force Base Fire Inspector and Logistics Officer. "Our base has very complex system needs, and critical information has to move instantaneously across our entire network. Celergy Networks worked closely with us to customize a system that can provide varying levels of emergency notification to one or more of the fire stations, depending on each situation. Celergy Networks was great to work with. The system has been in place for several months and we've seen a dramatic improvement in the flow of information and response times."
Celergy Networks president and COO
Frank DeJoy said, "We are honored to be selected by Edwards
Air Force Base and we are very proud of the improvements our
network installation team was able to bring to the base's
emergency response system."
