LAN-TEL Installs Thermal Imaging Cameras in Winthrop Schools

Winthrop High School

Winthrop, MA  – As schools prepared for the upcoming  year in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, LAN-TEL Communications was called upon to deploy FLIR stand-alone thermal imaging cameras/scanners for all schools in the Winthrop district.

The cameras are used to screen and detect students and staff who have an elevated body temperature, a symptom of coronavirus.

LAN-TEL’s Eric Johnson, security division PM; Mike French, director of IT; and Shaun Kennedy, PM; headed the LAN-TEL project team.

The fast-track project was completed by the NECA contractor in late August, prior to the start of the school year.
