Imagine you’re responsible for public safety at a busy hospital, sprawling college campus, or high-traffic casino. You need a new emergency blue light tower—should be simple enough. But then the quote arrives: $60,000 for one tower. That’s right—sixty grand for a single unit.
This isn’t a one-off case. Facilities across the country are routinely shocked by the cost of upgrading outdated emergency communications systems. But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be this way. At TS&L, we specialize in smarter, more affordable solutions that protect your people and your budget.
While a brand-new tower might have a sticker price of $15,000–$20,000, the actual cost can skyrocket due to:
These hidden costs can quickly turn a $20K upgrade into a $60K mistake.
Before tearing out your current towers, ask yourself:
If yes, retrofitting is likely your best move.
Retrofitting replaces only the internal electronics—the “brains” of the tower—while keeping the structure. It’s faster, more affordable, and far less disruptive than a full replacement.
At TS&L, we help clients retrofit existing towers for under $5,000 per unit—a fraction of full replacement costs. Key benefits include:
Letting aging towers remain in place can be dangerous:
Modern towers are built for reliability, featuring:
Platforms like the Knightscope Emergency Management System (KEMS) automate reliability with Verizon Frontline providing priority emergency access—even during network congestion.
Modern towers don’t just help during emergencies—they help prevent them:
Unlike smartphones, towers offer instant location accuracy and reliability under stress.
TS&L makes it easy to modernize:
Emergencies are unpredictable—but your preparedness shouldn’t be. Ignoring outdated equipment risks lives, lawsuits, and financial damage. Don’t let one failed tower become a $60K problem.
Retrofitting is faster, smarter, and safer.
Let TS&L help you modernize your emergency communication systems—without overspending.
