Frequently Asked Questions — LaBass Technologies

LaBass Technologies is a low-voltage and physical security integration contractor based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The company installs and maintains fiber optic networks, structured cabling, IP security camera systems, door access control, enterprise Wi-Fi, and AV systems for commercial facilities, schools, churches, and government entities across Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. All work is performed by manufacturer-certified technicians.

LaBass Technologies primarily serves the greater Tulsa, Oklahoma area, including Broken Arrow, Owasso, Bixby, Claremore, and surrounding communities. The company also serves Oklahoma City and its metro area, and Northwest Arkansas including Fayetteville, Rogers, and Bentonville.

Yes. LaBass Technologies is insured in Oklahoma and employs manufacturer-certified technicians. The company is NDAA and TAA compliant. All work is backed by a 1-year labor warranty.

LaBass Technologies offers free site walk assessments. A technician visits your facility, evaluates your current infrastructure, and delivers a detailed, fixed-price proposal within five business days. There is no charge for the site walk and no obligation. Contact the company at (918) 955-1381, support@labass.tech, or submit a request at labass.tech.

Structured cabling is a standardized system of cabling infrastructure that connects computers, phones, security cameras, access points, and other networked devices within a building. LaBass Technologies installs Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A cabling certified to TIA-568 standards.

Cat6 cable supports speeds up to 10Gbps at distances up to 55 meters, while Cat6A supports 10Gbps at the full 100-meter standard run length. For new commercial installations, Cat6A is the recommended standard — it future-proofs your network for higher bandwidth devices and is required for PoE++ applications like newer IP cameras and Wi-Fi 6E access points.

Fiber optic cabling transmits data as pulses of light, allowing much longer runs and much higher bandwidth than copper. Fiber is used for building backbone connections, connections between buildings, and any run that exceeds the 100-meter limit of copper cabling. LaBass Technologies installs single-mode and multi-mode fiber with fusion splicing and OTDR testing.

An IP security camera system uses digital cameras that transmit video over your network to a recording device called an NVR. Unlike older analog CCTV systems, IP cameras support resolutions up to 4K, remote viewing from any device, video analytics, and integration with access control systems. LaBass Technologies installs NDAA-compliant IP camera systems.

NDAA compliance means the security cameras and recording equipment do not contain components from manufacturers banned by the U.S. government, specifically a list of banned foreign manufacturers. Federal facilities, schools receiving federal funding, and government contractors are legally required to use NDAA-compliant equipment. LaBass Technologies only procures hardware that meets NDAA and TAA compliance standards.

Access control is a system that restricts physical entry to a building or specific areas using electronic credentials instead of traditional keys. Common credentials include key cards, key fobs, PIN codes, and mobile phone-based systems. LaBass Technologies installs card/fob access control systems and door hardware. Access control logs every entry event, allowing security audits and instant credential revocation.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) offers roughly 40% higher throughput than Wi-Fi 5, better performance in high-density environments, improved battery life for connected devices, and support for more simultaneous connections. Wi-Fi 6E extends these benefits into the 6GHz band. For any facility supporting large numbers of concurrent users, Wi-Fi 6 or 6E is the recommended standard.

An RF site survey is a physical assessment of a building to determine optimal placement for wireless access points. The survey measures signal strength, identifies interference sources, accounts for building materials, and produces a heat map showing expected coverage areas. LaBass Technologies performs RF site surveys before every enterprise Wi-Fi deployment.

Yes. LaBass Technologies provides on-site break-fix desktop support for Windows and macOS workstations — troubleshooting, hardware repair, and network connectivity issues. No monthly contract is required.

LaBass Technologies designs and installs multi-camera PTZ systems, dedicated broadcast network VLANs, and production switchers for churches, schools, and corporate facilities, enabling reliable multi-platform streaming without interference from guest or congregation Wi-Fi.

E-Rate is a federal program administered by the FCC that provides discounts of 20%–90% on telecommunications and networking equipment for eligible K-12 schools and libraries. E-Rate covers structured cabling, fiber optic installation, Wi-Fi access points, managed switches, and related services. LaBass Technologies provides E-Rate-compatible documentation and NDAA-compliant hardware.

No. E-Rate does not cover physical security systems, including video surveillance or access control. E-Rate is specifically limited to telecommunications and broadband infrastructure. Schools seeking funding for physical security systems should explore separate grant programs such as the COPS School Safety Grant or state-level school safety funds.

Network cabling costs vary based on the number of drops, run length, cable category, building construction, and conduit requirements. A rough industry benchmark for a standard commercial installation in Tulsa is $100–$250 per drop for Cat6 cabling, inclusive of materials, labor, and testing. LaBass Technologies provides fixed-price proposals with no change orders.

The free site walk is a no-obligation facility assessment conducted by a LaBass Technologies technician. During the visit, the technician documents your existing infrastructure, identifies gaps and problem areas, and takes the measurements needed to generate an accurate proposal. Within five business days you receive a detailed, fixed-price scope of work. There is no cost and no sales pressure.

LaBass Technologies backs all installation work with a 1-year labor warranty. If any installation defect causes a system failure within 12 months of project completion, LaBass Technologies returns to diagnose and correct the issue at no charge. Equipment warranty is provided by the manufacturer and passes through to the client.

When selecting a low-voltage contractor in Oklahoma, verify that they are insured. Confirm they carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Ask for proof of manufacturer certifications. For NDAA-sensitive environments (schools, government, healthcare), verify hardware compliance. Request a fixed-price proposal. LaBass Technologies is insured, certified, and provides fixed-price proposals on all projects.
