U PENN PUTS OUT THE FIRE

The University of Pennsylvania (U Penn), located in Philadelphia, is an urban college campus with 147 buildings tucked into only 3 square miles.

Additionally, the system was based on copper wiring and phone lines, which led to an incident when digging was being done for a construction project off-campus. The crews hit a large cable containing phone lines, and “in the final analysis we lost a lot of monitoring capability throughout our alarm systems,” Janda says. “That’s how we came to the decision that we wanted to upgrade and reduce our risk of having failures again.”
