Many of our job sites are vacant, unfinished buildings across the country. But on the off chance that we get the opportunity to install ERRCS in an operating business, we never take it for granted. The SpeakEZ crew is highly experienced and handles such situations better than anyone else in the industry. Thus, we were the integrator of choice for an ERRC system installation at the Disney Digital Center 3. However, something we wanted to keep top of mind in this job is to seamlessly work alongside their employees during the installation.
This facility has dozens of live ON-AIR broadcast studios for Disney, Fox Sports, and ESPN. Editing and live program control is a 24/7 operation at this 187,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility in The Woodlands, Texas. A recent building addition and subsequent “testing” for two-way radio signal strength revealed the need for boosting to bring this facility up to code. An occurrence that comes up often when existing buildings go through renovation/remodeling. When permits are pulled, the Fire Marshal will require testing near completion.
