Spectrum Integrated Technologies provides lobby security systems

Spectrum Integrated Technologies (Spectrum IT), the security and telecom division of J. & M. Brown Co. Inc., has completed the design and installation of fully integrated visitor entry security systems at four Blackstone Properties' buildings in Boston and Cambridge - 100 High St., 225 Franklin St. and One Post Office Sq. in Boston, and 1 Memorial Dr. in Cambridge. The lobby/entry security systems, designed by Spectrum specifically for high-rise applications, tie each property's security sub-systems, including electronic turnstiles, card access, elevator control, intercom, and digital CCTV into each building's overall security management system. At 225 Franklin St., One Post Office Sq. and 100 High St., Spectrum also installed the latest in high-rise electronic turnstile visitor entry security systems. All security system solutions were designed to correspond to the buildings' "class A" rating. The fully integrated lobby security at each of the properties allows expected pre-enrolled visitor's to gain entry to elevators and destination points within the building via a touch-screen kiosk in the lobby, which is designed with a bar code scanner and reader. Spectrum's director of operations Terry Kilduff and principal Steve Feldman managed project planning, design, integration and implementation to meet Blackstone Properties unique requirements for entry security at each facility. Security system companies integral to the projects included AMAG, Pelco, Building Engines, and ITS (Interactive Touchscreen Solutions). Spectrum also worked closely with Infrasafe, the national security consultant for Blacktone Properties. Shawmut Design and Construction served as the general contractor for the lobby renovations at all four Blackstone projects. Spectrum Integrated Technologies also recently provided electronic turnstile security system projects at 101 Arch Street, aand 10 St. James Street in Boston.
