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.
