The new Indianapolis International Airport Midfield Terminal
Indianapolis, IN

ESCO worked with the leading manufacturer of paging systems for airports to design a complete VoIP voice paging system. This will be one of the first of its kind in an airport but will become the standard of design and functionality in the future. Life safety (Fire Alarm) is being provided with a GE/EST system implementing the latest voice evacuation technology.

Delaware County Emergency Management Agency
Muncie, IN

The Delaware County Emergency Management Agency (DCEMA) is a government agency that works with all community first responders and local businesses to assist them with development of business continuity and emergency plans. All of Indiana's county EMA's are required to develop an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). This center must be a secure facility with up-to-date communications resources to be used in the case of a large scale emergency. It is designed to be used by county leaders, including representatives from government, police and fire services. The communications and security components of the EOC are obviously critical to its success. They require stable equipment, UPS backup in case of power loss and excellent audio/video quality for communications. Because of the uniquely stressful environment that is likely in an emergency it is also important that the system is very easy to use and allows simple, quick changes of audio and video content. According to Bill Gosnell, Director of the Dellaware County Emergency Management Agency, ESCO was the right firm for the job:

"We received quotes from many ESCO competitors and not one of them showed the attention to detail and expertise that ESCO did. Bottom line I was very impressed with their professionalism and I am very pleased with the results."
~William G. Gosnell
Director, Delaware County Emergency Management Agency

Noble County Circuit Court
Albion, IN

Indiana Court Administrative Rule #14 gives Indiana courts the ability to conduct hearings and proceedings via teleconferencing under certain circumstances. As court systems have become busier, law enforcement officers have also spent more and more time transporting prisoners to and from court hearings – sometimes at the expense of hours away from their other duties. The increase in traffic by offenders has also affected the security of the public and law enforcement officers – more offenders moving to and from secure facilities naturally introduces more risk. Video arraignment systems and associated technologies not only fulfill the qualifications of Indiana Court Administrative Rules but greatly enhance the security and efficiency of our law enforcement system. Case in point? Noble County, Indiana. Noble County Circuit Court justice, David Laur recognized the issues at hand and the improvements strong technology could bring to their court system. While at a conference Judge Laur saw a presentation about a “model courtroom project” and the technology impressed him, “It was fascinating. The technology in this model courtroom let you do anything you could envision and then some.” Facing an upcoming renovation of an historic courthouse, Laur felt it was the perfect opportunity to update their technology. Considering the age of their courthouse, it was built in 1888, it was also vital that the technology be both state-of-the-art and nearly invisible. ESCO was able to step up to the challenge:

"It was one of the luckiest days of my career when I found ESCO. You can’t see the technology until I push the buttons. It is seamless, nonintrusive, wireless, and state of the art. The lawyers love it… the sheriff loves it… and the county commissioner and council truly appreciate the saved money and added security this technology has brought to Noble County." ~Judge David Laur
