SRS Networks
Situational Awareness Deployment Partner

Deployment Partner for Status Solutions SARA & Stanley/Securitas Healthcare

The platforms are great. What kills the project is the network underneath them — RTLS dead zones, undersized PoE, life-safety traffic on the corporate VLAN, and nobody owning the cabling.

SRS Networks deploys the network, low-voltage cabling, RTLS Wi-Fi, and PoE edge that SARA and Stanley/Securitas Healthcare run on — nationwide, with W-2 leads and a single project manager.

Define responsibility and acceptance before deployment

The authorized platform vendor or integrator supplies endpoint, network, wireless and acceptance requirements. The work order assigns cabling, mounting, power interfaces and agreed network checks. Platform licensing, specialist configuration, RTLS accuracy and life-safety commissioning remain with the responsible platform and facility owners unless explicitly assigned.

SRS Networks is a nationwide enterprise infrastructure deployment company headquartered in South San Francisco, California, delivering structured cabling, low-voltage wiring, wireless, and network integration across the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, and Hawaii since 1996. On Status Solutions SARA and Stanley/Securitas Healthcare projects, we are the deployment hands — the network, the cabling, the RTLS Wi-Fi, and the PoE edge — so the platform vendor and the integrator can do what they do best.

The Problem

Why Situational Awareness Projects Stall at the Network

Status Solutions and Stanley/Securitas Healthcare ship reliable platforms. The most common reason go-live slips isn't software — it's the network and cabling underneath.

RTLS Dead Zones

Real-time location tags lose contact in stairwells, corridors, and outdoor courtyards because the underlying Wi-Fi was designed for laptops, not for asset tracking, wander management, or staff duress.

Mass Notification That Reaches Nobody

SARA broadcasts arrive at desktops nobody's sitting at, IP speakers that were never wired, and digital signage on a network that can't carry the traffic. The alert fires and the building doesn't know.

Life-Safety Traffic on Corporate VLANs

Hugs infant protection, AeroScout asset tracking, and SARA inputs sharing the same network as HR and printers means a single broadcast storm can take the entire situational awareness platform offline.

Undersized PoE for Edge Devices

IP speakers, video paging endpoints, RTLS exciters, and integrated cameras all draw PoE. Consumer-grade switches don't have the budget — devices reboot mid-event when they're needed most.

Sensor Integration Stalls at the Patch Panel

Status Solutions and Stanley/Securitas Healthcare ship great platforms. What kills the project is the low-voltage cabling, structured wiring, and network drops that nobody owns at the site level.

The Solution

A Network Built For Situational Awareness.

We deploy the underlying infrastructure that Status Solutions SARA and Stanley/Securitas Healthcare gear uses, to the authorized integrator's approved coverage, traffic and segmentation requirements. Agreed network checks support the handoff; the platform owner accepts RTLS and life-safety behavior.

What's Included

End-to-End Deployment for SARA + Stanley Healthcare Integrations

From the wireless heat map through the last PoE endpoint, SRS handles every layer of the network that situational awareness platforms ride on — and hands documented as-builts to the integrator.

Network Design for Situational Awareness

The authorized vendor or integrator supplies the supported network requirements for SARA inputs, gateways and notification endpoints. SRS executes the assigned infrastructure scope; the platform owner approves specialist RTLS and life-safety acceptance.

VLAN architecture for life-safety isolation
Bandwidth and QoS for mass notification
Gateway and controller placement planning

Low-Voltage Cabling & Structured Wiring

Every sensor, panic button, IP speaker, RTLS exciter, and signage display needs a drop. Assigned field crews install the scoped cabling so the integrator's gear has somewhere reliable to plug in.

Scoped low-voltage cabling
Terminations and agreed cable test records
As-built documentation per drop

Wi-Fi & RTLS Coverage

The authorized platform vendor or integrator defines the wireless coverage, device placement and representative test cases. SRS installs the assigned APs and records agreed network checks; specialist tag accuracy and life-safety validation remain with the named platform owner.

Heat-mapped wireless site surveys
AP placement and channel plan to approved platform requirements
Agreed network checks and platform-owner acceptance handoff

PoE Edge & Endpoint Installation

IP speakers for SARA mass notification, video paging endpoints, integrated cameras, duress stations, and exciters all draw power and data over the same cable. Switch power budgets and cabling are selected for the approved endpoint counts, loads and interfaces.

PoE++ enterprise switching
Endpoint mounting and termination
Integration handoff to the platform vendor

What SARA Delivers — and Where SRS Comes In

SARA is an automated alerting engine that unifies stand-alone alarm and communication systems into one situational awareness platform. Every capability below depends on a network and endpoint layer that holds up under load — that's the SRS scope.

Centralized Alerting & Reporting

SARA unifies life safety, security, and environmental monitoring inputs into one alerting engine. We deliver the network that is checked against the platform owner's agreed traffic and acceptance requirements.

Mass Notification

Real-time emergency alerts plus courtesy reminders broadcast to designated endpoints. We install the IP speakers, the digital signage, the desktop endpoints, and the cabling underneath all of it.

Mobile Duress with Location Data

Premise and wide-area duress use platform-specific positioning and communication methods. SRS owns only the cabling, mounting and network tasks assigned in the work order; the authorized integrator owns platform configuration and specialist acceptance.

Desktop Alerts, Video Paging, Digital Signage

Color-coded text, audio, live camera feeds to desktops, and CCTV signage. Each endpoint is a network device that has to be reachable when SARA fires — that's a network problem before it's a software problem.

Stanley / Securitas Healthcare

RTLS, Infant Protection, Wander Management & Staff Duress

Formerly Stanley Healthcare, now Securitas Healthcare — the platforms (AeroScout, Hugs, Roam Alert) have platform-specific requirements. The authorized integrator defines wireless coverage and structured cabling that has to be done right.

RTLS — Real-Time Location Systems

Stanley/Securitas Healthcare AeroScout and equivalent platforms track patients, residents, staff, and assets through Wi-Fi-based tag-and-receiver architecture. The wireless density makes or breaks accuracy.

Infant Protection (Hugs) & Wander Management

Hugs and Roam Alert prevent infant abduction and resident elopement through tag-and-exit-sensor architecture. The exit sensors, door controllers, and tag receivers all need a network that doesn't drop them.

Asset Tracking

Wheelchairs, IV pumps, defibrillators, and high-value equipment tagged and tracked across a campus. The tags transmit, the network carries it, the back-end reports — we own the middle layer.

Staff Duress & Two-Way Communication

Caregiver duress badges, two-way mobile communication for clinicians, point-of-care alerts to mobile devices. Every one of these endpoints touches the wireless network we deploy.
