Fire Alarm Project for Swissôtel Chicago
Atlanta – Edwards Service A Division of Carter Brothers, LLC recently completed the design and installation
of an automatic fire detection system, along with an emergency voice communication and alarm system for

interface, and meets all City of Chicago high rise codes. Carter Brothers was specifically chosen for the project
because of the company’s extensive experience and expertise with high rise fire alarm system retrofits in
Chicago.

Carter Brothers focuses on national accounts

Partnership with S2 integral to new focus

ATLANTA—National fire and security integrator Carter Brothers is realigning its business
to focus on national accounts and it’s partnering with S2 Security as part of that process.

“We have over six thousand different buildings under contract across the country, we
already do business nationally. Now we’re going to go after national accounts in fire, video
and access. It’s the logical next step for us,” John Carter, Carter Brothers CEO and
president told Security Systems News on Feb. 18.

Carter Brothers has 12 branch offices and through its project managers it operates in 26
cities and 50 municipalities across the country. It has more than 250 employees and FY10
revenues in excess of $70 million.

Its major clients include Pepsico, FritoLay, Bank of America and Standard Register.

Carter Brothers is one of a handful of well-established fire installers with a national
presence. Carter believes this will be an important differentiator for Carter Brothers as it
seeks to establish its national accounts business.

For its current large customers, Carter Brothers will seek to get all of the fire, video and
access control business in all locations across the country. It will also be looking for new
opportunities.

End users with a national presence are looking for “one throat to choke,” he said. And, the
fact that Carter Brothers has an established fire division provides a “barrier to entry” for
integrators who do not have a major fire division.

As part of this effort, Carter announced that the company is partnering with S2 Security, a
provider of IP-based integrated security systems. Its products are network appliances that
require only a web browser to use. Its systems support access control, alarm monitoring,
temperature monitoring video surveillance and intercom.

“This is a strategic alliance for us [to work with] a major national player,” said John
Pierangeli, national sales manager for S2 Security. The partnership came together
quickly after the two companies met at the ASIS show in October of 2010. “We just met in
October and we’ve done all of the basic training in all of the branch offices,” he said.

Steve Board, VP of national accounts for Carter Brothers noted that both S2 and Carter
Brothers are “service-based businesses, and there are synergies to be had with both
companies.”

Rob Costello, SVP operations General Counsel for Carter Brothers, said Carter
Brothers likes the open architecture, scalability and IP network features of the S2 system.
“We love this product for national accounts and otherwise ... it has large scale capabilities
and it’s affordable to for smaller locations as well.”
