Emergency Responder Radio Communication System (ERRCS) Solutions

Delivering solutions, First Responders rely on when it matters most. We offer complete Public Safety In-Building coverage solutions for Emergency Responder Radio Communication Systems customized to meet local code requirements.

Ensuring Seamless Emergency Communication

Emergency Responder Radio Communication System (ERRCS), or BDA/DAS (bi-directional amplifier)/(distributed antenna systems), is a critical system facilitating reliable communication for emergency responders within buildings. It bridges external Public Safety radio signals and internal communication systems, ensuring seamless coverage in all areas, including challenging spaces like stairwells, elevators, and basements.

Understanding the Components of Emergency Responder Radio Communication System (ERRCS)

ERRCS comprises several key components, each vital in maintaining effective communication during emergencies:

Donor Antenna: Receives external radio signals from local emergency responder towers.

Bi-directional Amplifier/Repeater: Boosts radio signals for better penetration and coverage.

Coaxial Cable or Fiber Medium: Distributes radio signals throughout the building.

Coverage Antennas: Transmit and receive signals within the building for use by emergency responders.

Experience the Benefits of Emergency Responder Radio Communication System (ERRCS)

Our ERRCS systems boast the following features:

Improved Radio Coverage: Ensures reliable communication even in challenging areas such as stairwells, basements, and elevator lobbies.

Compliance with Regulations: Meets NFPA 72 and IFC 2019 guidelines, essential for obtaining Certificates of Occupancy.

Enhanced Safety: Supports Land Mobile radios used by first responders, enhancing overall emergency response capabilities.
