Key Projects and Outcomes
E911 FCC Compliance
Passage of the Ray Baum's Act requires certain multi-line telephone systems to provide location-based dispatch information to emergency first responders. Our team travelled across 33 states to audit and map 173 buildings, a total of 203,698 ports and Wireless Access Points (WAP), to ensure customer compliance and accurate, swift, lifesaving care for the callers.
AV/ Life Cycle Refresh
Over 4.5 months, the NCS team upgraded/refreshed the AV equipment in over 800 Microsoft LCD display-based conference rooms by removing the old AV hardware and replacing it with new video codecs, cameras, and microphones and/or LCD monitors then completing the configuration work and activating the new equipment on the customer's corporate production network.
Legacy Corporate Campus PBX Support and Decommissioning
This project included assuming maintenance and support for Microsoft’s vintage PBX voice communications infrastructure to ensure continued up-time and operations while at the same time, implementing a plan to migrate all services to other modern platforms with the eventual goal of decommissioning all legacy systems, which had been in place for 20-30 years. NCS also assumed ongoing support for 180+ modern SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) Gateways, also referred to as SBA’s, Analog Terminal Adapters (ATA’s), and Session Boarder Controllers (SBC’s). NCS still provides global management and remote support for these devices today.
