Fire and Police Department

New York City

What They Needed:
Some of the very first call boxes in history were those created for fire departments like those in New York City. Though the boxes themselves are still in place, the hardware has long since become obsolete.

How CASE Responded:
CASE Emergency Systems designed a custom faceplate with wireless electronics to convert the FDNY hardwired Fire and Police call boxes to a wireless solution. The solar-powered and wireless service has proven successful and potentially will save the city millions of dollars in repairs annually.

The Iron County Sheriff’s Office is very excited about the addition of these satellite phones in these remote locations. This will help all emergency services in Iron County to rapidly respond to emergencies where there is little or no cell phone coverage.

Thank you everyone, this means a lot to my department as we work toward improving public safety and officer safety. Every person who calls us from a phone box at the bottom foot paths lowers the chance of harming themselves and us getting harmed as we work to help them.

The phones are simple to use. One need only open the call box and follow the 4-step instructions. These are a unique and valuable asset to the County, and we hope that individuals will recognize their value and help us maintain and protect them so if and when they are needed, they can serve members of and visitors to our great community in times of need.

Units Installed

CASE Retrofit Conversions

CASE Blue Light Towers and CASE e-Phones offer simple one-button activation of voice connectivity to the local police and emergency dispatch center. The operator can then assess the need and deploy the necessary first responders to the scene.

Units remain active even when power is out – a major advantage during winter storms.

Cellular units onboard the latest CASE equipment models come 4G ready and will be ahead of the 3G sunset already underway by many cellular carriers.

An optional feature of Blue Light Towers and e-Phones from CASE is public address broadcast – which allows for announcements to be made to the entire network or a portion of the network in case of transportation interruptions.
