We’ve also delivered work at a genuinely national scale for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, making every fire station in the country Microsoft Teams compatible, with a screen and meeting room facility fitted for calls between stations and for joining town hall and central briefings and training. That’s a separate programme from the wider multi station rollout referenced in the case study below, which remains under discussion.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service needed its national Incident Command Centre rebuilt around the assessor’s workflow — consistent audio across every assessment pod, automated camera tracking, one-touch recording and national remote-assessor streaming, built to scale without a system overhaul.
Read the case studyBeamforming ceiling microphones, dual-lens PTZ cameras and hardware-based recording across every pod, the Incident Command Room and the Plenary observation space — EIS’s largest single SFRS engagement to date, and the reference point for a wider multi-station rollout now under discussion.
A broken training room at Perth — a disconnected control system, a damaged screen, no interactive capability — rebuilt in three and a half days on site with zero scheduled courses lost, and phased so nothing installed now stands in the way of the full Teams Room to come.
Read the case studyNew projection, interactive smartboards, simple push-button control and a full audio refresh in Phase 1, with hybrid conferencing and full remote/BYOM capability already scoped for Phases 2 and 3.
Yes — from a single station to a service-wide rollout across control rooms, stations and training centres, procured under one contract.
Control room installations are specified with reliability and duty cycle for 24/7 operational use as the primary design requirement, not an afterthought.
In most cases yes, following a survey to confirm compatibility before quoting a support contract.
Fire and rescue stations and other public-facing premises can fall within scope of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (Martyn’s Law) depending on occupancy. Our Martyn’s Law Communication Readiness page has a free two-minute scorecard to check where you stand.
Tell us what you’re trying to fix and we’ll tell you honestly what’s realistic.
Yes. Given the response time SLAs already in place for operationally critical systems, installation and maintenance work on a live station or control room is scheduled outside normal operational hours where the site requires it, rather than assuming a standard nine to five visit will work.
