COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS CONSULTING AND ENGINEERING DIGITAL v ANALOG v FIBER v WIRELESS
Firm Profile We develop cutting-edge solutions targeted to our clients’ needs and strive to design state-of-the-art systems that keep pace with evolving technology. Digital v Analog v Fiber v Wireless
Enterprise Wide Communication Solutions PSE’s principle objective is to become a partner in the development of enterprise level communication systems throughout the corporate and agency environments and to strategize on technology while collaborating on its implementation. Our firm has the experienced skill sets of certified network design engineers and architects, secure cyber protection certification level individuals, data center design architects, RF/fiber/UTP infrastructure engineers, and 700/800/900/cellular RF engineers. But, there is more to it than just the digital and RF world. Our trained staff includes experts in acoustics, noise and vibration control, displays/monitors/scanning systems, sound and program reproduction systems, digital intercom, and analog systems.
Converging Technologies The convergence of these technologies requires a firm with a wide diversity of talent, as well as a deep level of experience to provide targeted specifications, reports, contract documents, and studies to create a sustainable communication platform across corporate and agency levels. We have the capacity to provide comprehensive services and complete documentation including single study, report, or schematic design through full documentation and commissioning.
Expanding Personal Communication Environment The expanding personal communication environment needs to be continuously addressed. The continuous uprooting of bandwidth by social networks and higher technologies on platforms as diverse as web browser, PDA, messaging, and newer personal communication methods requires meeting a challenge that is a moving target. Centralizing your consulting and design capabilities into PSE’s staff provides cost efficiencies and tangible benefits directly to the shareholders’ and stakeholders’ bottom line.

National Museum of American Jewish History
Technology Integration Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The National Museum of American Jewish History is located on historic Independence Mall. The new building represents a history of the Jewish people, from those who gave the early colonialists financing to continue the Revolutionary War, such as Robert Morris, to today’s successful Jewry in America. Its five story 100,000 SF design will be as remarkable as the data/ voice/video capabilities of the site to manage both historic content and museum transactions.
The National Museum of American Jewish History is located in Philadelphia’s Historic District on Independence Mall. Seeking expertise in integration of data, voice, and video in a secure expansive environment, Professional Systems Engineering (PSE) was selected to design all networks and remote services for wired and wireless networks, conferencing capabilities, exhibit data support for both high speed and wireless networks, and tele/data/video services. PSE was chosen to design and deploy technology for this special mission to herald the assimilation of Jewry into the United States. PSE’s first task was to provide an assessment of existing networks, connectivity issues, information technologies transition to the new site, and recommend unified digital electronic communication platforms. This implementation of an “All Digital” site includes data/voice/video and conferencing using the latest secure appliance and network infrastructure that can handle both gift shop transactions and prevent denial-of-service attacks, as well as intrusion detection to any of the data equipment.

19th Judicial District Courthouse
Courthouse Information Technology & Secure Communications Parish of East Baton Rouge, Louisiana
The new state-ofthe-art 12-story, 360,000 SF courthouse will have the latest in networking and high-tech audio-video systems inside courtrooms, including a transcription recording system and touch screens used to control audio and video. Cyber security designs involved intrusion protection firewall and virtual access hardening of the 10 gigabit capacity network infrastructure.
Professional System Engineering, LLC developed and prepared the RFPs and equipment purchase lists required to purchase the courts Information Technology and Communications FF&E Technology package. This included the courts telephone system, data network, computers, servers, and distributed antenna system. PSE found, while reviewing the 19th JDC’s legacy systems, the courts relied on multiple single core servers. PSE presented a technology plan that employed a virtual server cluster to greatly reduce data center’s space, power, and cooling requirements. PSE filled a unique role acting as technical liaison for the Administrative office of the Courts. PSE demonstrated a unique ability to translate the highly technical into easy to manage concepts. This helped the AOC and project architect to stay on top of the project and make informed decisions throughout the project.

Amtrak
Enterprise Safety Assessment/Emergency 9-1-1 Dispatch Nationwide
PSE was chosen by Amtrak to replace its Emergency 9-1-1 Dispatch Center with a modern system that will cover no less than 15 cities and nearly 150 operators. PSE’s designs allow for adaptation with evolving technology to serve current and future needs.
Professional Systems Engineering, LLC (PSE) provided consultant services including debriefing, interviews, historical analysis, technology requirements, specification preparation, RFP production, and bid analysis to replace Amtrak’s CHIEFS system public safety software. Amtrak’s existing system was nearly ten years old and no longer met Amtrak Police Department’s business needs. It did not keep pace with upto-date technological demands and proved labor-intensive to maintain. The existing central monitoring center is a national call center providing coverage for emergency, enforcement, disaster management, hazardous spill/contamination response and rail operations management with far-reaching, and sometimes overlapping jurisdictionalbased, automated response call-up. The new system includes the following components and capabilities: ❖❖Computer-aided dispatch/geobase sensitive programming ❖❖Records management system ❖❖Internal affairs module for secure review ❖❖Employee communications ❖❖Personnel management module ❖❖GIS mapping with national coverage and integrated/imported response jurisdiction mapping ❖❖Custom reporting relating to train-specific information The new system will allow for effective real time dissemination of information regarding departmental productivity and crime trend analysis, which facilitates effective deployment of resources in conjunction with daily operational requirements as well as emergency deployments. This project demonstrates PSE’s ability to “prime” a sophisticated, nationally advertised consulting award and bring stakeholders technology support into a modern data and systems managed universe that will be deployed in at least 15 cities and covering almost 150 operators.
