Selected Projects are summarized below demonstrating full competency in this discipline area.

On a project for the US Army Corps of Engineers in Korea, Johnson Controls designed the entire data communications and assured information exchange system based on fast track site survey and basic concept drawings provided by DoD personnel. Johnson Controls, using local company offices and qualified and secured local resources deployed a communications network for AT/FP activities in support of expanded mission requirements.

Johnson Controls was retained to provide numerous complete security projects based on dedicated secure network technology for the U.S. Army’s program for protecting our nation’s critical infrastructure. Enterprise systems provide for access control, alarm monitoring, personnel identification and screening, enrollment and badging, digital imaging, and surveillance management and control. System architectures feature scalable flexible security solution operating over fiber networks using advanced technology. Multiple workstations with redundant head-end computer systems assure reliability and capability to handle and existing and planned expansions. The Johnson Controls team is responsible for entire project from design, through procurement, integration, factory and field testing and final commissioning.

For the Food and Drug Administration nationwide security system (70 + sites across the US and Puerto Rico) Johnson Controls utilizes and optimizes existing communication network infrastructure to assure on-line access to all security information. Troubleshooting, node expansion, system expansion (locally, geographically and globally), bandwidth modifications, and secure transmission are areas that Johnson Controls provides critical assistance to all sites including the Command Center in metropolitan Washington DC.

Johnson Controls designed and provided a new data network for the Volpe Center at a number of federal sites under the Omnibus Security Solution contract. Projects involved multiple suburban emergency response centers, multi building campuses with multi Gigabit connectivity between the core sites and remote buildings, and newly constructed million+ square foot headquarter buildings of the Department of Transportation.

A wireless distributed integrated video surveillance system has been implemented using CISCO technology with Motorola functional integration for a large metropolitan police force in a major Midwestern city. The system allows police officers to access information using wireless technology across the municipality while in their vehicles, enabling timely informed decision making and documentation for law enforcement purposes.
