Jordan & Skala design communications systems around the building’s use, technology requirements, and user needs, and then we coordinate that infrastructure with the rest of the project.
We help owners and design teams make practical communications decisions early, when there is still flexibility to address space, pathways, equipment, power, and service-provider requirements.
Â
That means coordinating telecom rooms, cabling, wireless coverage, and communications equipment alongside the broader building design.
Connectivity has to work when people need it. We coordinate wired networks, wireless systems, telecom spaces, and supporting building systems early so the infrastructure is positioned to support dependable day-to-day operation.
Reliable service depends on more than adding devices later. We plan pathways, equipment locations, wireless infrastructure, and first-responder radio requirements around the building so coverage needs are considered before construction limits the options.
Telecom rooms, pathways, service entrances, power, and cooling all require space in the building. Coordinating those needs early helps protect usable space and reduces the risk of costly infrastructure changes later.
Technology will change long before the building does. We help teams plan communications infrastructure with future equipment, network needs, and reasonable expansion in mind so the building can adapt without unnecessary retrofit work.
We design and coordinate the physical infrastructure that supports reliable wired data connectivity throughout a property. From telecommunications rooms and backbone pathways to horizontal cabling and equipment locations, we develop systems around the building’s operational requirements and anticipated technology needs.
Wireless connectivity is increasingly part of the basic expectation for residents, guests, employees, and visitors. We help determine the appropriate level of Wi-Fi coverage for each project, whether connectivity is needed in select common areas or across the entire property.
First responders need reliable radio communication throughout a building, including areas where building materials or construction can interfere with signal strength. We design and coordinate ERRC systems to help properties meet applicable code requirements and provide the coverage emergency personnel need.
Healthcare and senior living environments require communication systems that support both everyday operations and emergency response. We design wired and wireless emergency and nurse call systems, including nurse stations, emergency pull cords, wander management, and related infrastructure.
We coordinate with local service providers to establish points of entry, infrastructure requirements, equipment needs, and pathways so the building is prepared for connection and future service changes.
Telecommunications rooms need to be planned around the equipment, pathways, clearances, and service requirements they will actually support. We coordinate MDF and IDF locations, room sizing, equipment requirements, and infrastructure throughout the property to help avoid space constraints and costly changes later.
Where traditional television services are part of a property’s communications strategy, we design and coordinate the coaxial infrastructure required to distribute those services throughout the building.
01
We coordinate technology infrastructure with architectural, electrical, mechanical, and other project requirements early, helping teams resolve conflicts before they become construction issues.
02
Every project has different users, budgets, operating requirements, and expectations for connectivity. We listen first, then help owners and design teams evaluate the options that make sense for the building, balancing current needs with the flexibility to adapt as those needs change.
03
Our Low Voltage team has designed communications systems for multifamily, hospitality, healthcare, municipal, high-rise, industrial, and mixed-use projects. That breadth gives us a practical understanding of how communications infrastructure needs to respond to different occupants, operations, and building conditions.
03
We arrange pathways, equipment, rooms, power requirements, service-provider connections, and related systems so the design is easier to understand, easier to build, and easier to maintain.
