Answers about GST’s building technology and telecommunications solutions.
GST supports commercial buildings, multi-residential properties, condominiums, seniors’ residences, institutional facilities, industrial sites and real estate complexes. Our solutions are tailored to each environment.
Building technologies directly affect operations, security and occupant experience. A specialist helps ensure systems are integrated effectively and planned consistently for the long term.
Yes. Structured cabling, fibre optics, Wi-Fi, IP telephony, audiovisual systems, cameras, intercoms, access control and smart technologies can all be brought together in one technology strategy.
Slow networks, frequent outages, aging equipment, Wi-Fi dead zones and security concerns are common signs that it may be time to consider modernization.
In most cases, work can be planned to minimize its impact on occupants and day-to-day operations.
Structured cabling connects a building’s technology equipment. Fibre optics are a high-performance transmission technology that moves data quickly over long distances.
An assessment of the existing infrastructure identifies opportunities for fibre integration and any upgrades required.
Yes. Most existing buildings can be upgraded to integrate fibre optics.
Performance issues often come from internal infrastructure, cabling, network equipment or Wi-Fi coverage rather than the Internet provider.
Its lifespan depends on installation quality, use and the building’s technology needs. Regular assessments help confirm it continues to meet current requirements.
Construction materials, interference, space layout and equipment placement can all affect signal quality.
A Wi-Fi coverage survey identifies problem areas and determines the best equipment placement.
That depends on floor area, number of users, intended use and the layout of the premises.
IP telephony provides more flexibility, supports remote work, simplifies communications management and scales more easily.
In most cases, existing numbers can be transferred to the new platform.
Yes. It can centralize communications across several buildings, branches or facilities.
The right choice depends on the type of building, areas to protect, desired security level and user needs.
Yes. Modern systems generally provide access to live and recorded footage from a mobile device or computer.
Access control manages entry permissions, secures specific areas and simplifies access administration.
Yes. Many solutions now manage access with cards, electronic fobs or mobile devices.
Yes. Many platforms centralize management of these systems to improve efficiency and security.
A smart building uses connected technologies to improve security, infrastructure management and occupant experience.
Water damage is among the costliest building losses. Detection systems identify anomalies quickly and help limit potential damage.
Depending on the solution, some systems can automatically shut off the water supply when a leak is detected.
Yes. They help improve infrastructure monitoring, reduce certain risks and optimize several building operations.
The choice depends on the number of suites, occupant needs and desired features, including remote management and mobile access.
Appropriate network infrastructure, optimized Wi-Fi coverage and fibre optics can provide residents with a better experience.
Detection sensors and monitoring solutions help reduce risk and enable a quick response when an incident occurs.
A coverage survey and properly deployed equipment help deliver a stable connection for employees and visitors.
Plan cabling, networking, Wi-Fi, security, conference rooms and future needs at the beginning of the project.
Access control systems assign different authorization levels and simplify day-to-day access management.
Yes. Our teams regularly complete projects in Greater Montréal and in several North Shore and South Shore municipalities.
Yes. We support organizations in regions across Quebec, regardless of project size or complexity.
Depending on the mandate, we can also support organizations with needs in other Canadian provinces.
