Digitize has the products and the custom-engineering ability to help you make your legacy alarms work in our modern world. If you have an aging alarm system that is using outdated and expensive technologies like leased phone lines, then it's time to consider an upgrade. Digitize has products and the custom-engineering ability for you to make legacy alarms work in our modern world Although this was once a necessary technology and expenditure for a valuable panic alarm system, that was no longer true. That's over $36,960 in annual savings.Īs you can imagine, it didn't take long for the Digitize system to pay for itself in this scenario, simply by elimination of wasteful spending on phone lines. This innovative solution reduced the amount of dedicated phone lines, being used from 78 to just 1, thereby saving the airport over $3,000 every month. The Digitize DGM-32 eliminated nearly $37,000 in annual phone line expense by consolidating all panic alarm buttons into a single dialer output.Įach plaza’s panic alarms could then be multiplexed over a single dedicated phone line to the police dispatch center. The DGM-32 accepts up to 32 EOL inputs from the panic buttons. The Digitize solution was to connect all the panic buttons in a plaza, to a centrally located Digitize DGM-32 Data Gathering Panel. Digitize reduced the recurring phone expense from $37,000+ to only $480 per year That's an amount that enables 78 simultaneous voice phone calls, yet the vast majority of these leased lines are used for precisely nothing each month.

Regardless of quality, $3120 is a wild amount to be paying for panic alarm reporting in the Internet Age. That's over $3120 every month, $37,440 every year, just to keep the important but technologically simple panic alarms running!Īdditionally, there were many false alarms and troubles due to the phone company frequently repairing the lines to correct problems due to age, water in the conduits, and new construction demands. The airport was paying the local telephone company over $40 per line, per month.

There were 78 panic buttons and 78 leased dedicated-telephone lines. Each Payment Booth has a panic button reporting over individual dedicated phone lines to a central alarm-reporting console at the Airport police dispatch center. JFK Airport had 3 Parking Payment Plazas with several Parking Payment booths in each plaza. JFK Airport was paying over $37,000 per year on dedicated phone lines to keep panic alarms running That's something that many companies and agencies, including the administrators at JFK Airport, are recognizing. There's just no reason to do that anymore. Suddenly, things we long took for granted, like dedicated phone lines for each and every panic alarm button, can seem pretty silly. That's an expense you should not tolerate when cheaper options are now available. Legacy dialers can be massively expensive because they require dedicated phone lines.
