A SAFER RIDE
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) was looking to improve safety and security throughout the subway system and provide communications between the riding public and New York City Transit (NYCT) personnel at the Station Token Booths and the Rail Control Center (RCC) for the millions of people who ride the subways in New York City every day.
Turtle & Hughes furnished and placed in operation new life safety communications and security devices in the form of Help Points and Access Nodes at 10 stations. Help points are highly visible and easy-to-use communications and security devices that provide hands-free VoIP (Voice over internet) intercom over wired Access Points or wireless mesh networks in a fully integrated solution using Belden Cat6 cable and Prysmian Fiber cable.
