Donato's Turn-Key Solution



FirstComm is ringing in the New Year by completing work on a project in Greensboro, NC that highlights our ability to deliver a turn-key low-voltage system to the commercial consumer. Over the past week our technicians successfully installed and integrated a comprehensive low-voltage system for Donatos Pizza. The package provided to Donatos included an Inter-Tel phone system, data cabling, a digital CCTV security system, burglar alarm, digital signage system, access controls, a drive alert system, as well as a PlayNetwork business music solution. Here are some pictures from the site:


DIGITAL SIGNAGE SOLUTION




Donatos franchise incorporates digital signage into their menu boards. FirstComm mounted a 26" LG LCD HDTV in the center of the restaurant's menu board. The images are sent to the LCD screen from a Sony DVD player located in the main office.

Access Control

FirstComm installed a Crow S-106 stand alone access control for use on the backdoor at Donatos. The S-106 is a cost effective solution that provides PIN code or proximity card entry.


Drive Alert System

Donatos Pizza plans on generating a lot of pick-up traffic. In anticipation Donatos has reserved 2 parking spaces outside their front door and required a sensor alert the crew when a car pulled up for delivery. To fill this need FirstComm buried and installed a Meir Drive Alert System into the
asphalt in the parking area.


Voice/Data Structured Cabling

FirstComm installed the Voice and Data Cabling for Donatos. The phone system installed at Donatos is an Inter-Tel system. Here are some pictures of the terminated products.



Security and Music

FirsComm also handled the install of Donatos Digital CCTV security system as well as a PlayNetwork business music system. The security system consists of dome and bullet cameras that are connected to a DVR that can be viewed remotely via an internet connection. The music system consists of a Crown amplifier and Specco commercial flush mount speakers. The audio content is provided by PlayNetwork.

The Donatos project shows the breadth of FirstComm's knowledge and experience in the area of low-voltage integration and installation. Why deal with multiple contractor for phones, data, security and business music when it can all be handled under one umbrella? Before you start your next construction project be sure to call FirstComm with all your low-voltage needs. It will save you time and money.
