We build Emergency Responder Radio Communication Systems (ERRCS) and Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCES) designed in accordance with applicable IFC and NFPA standards to support the safety of your facility and occupants.
Partner with us for ERRCS/ERCES and in-building wireless design that supports life safety, with coverage tailored to code requirements.
Design Your ERRCS/ERCES With a Clear, Code-Focused Process
Discover how we help reduce the compliance burden for property owners by streamlining our process to support dependable radio contact for first responders inside modern buildings. Here’s how we design ERRCS/ERCES systems to help safeguard lives:
Start With a Clear Building and Code Assessment
We evaluate your building layout, construction materials, and local jurisdiction requirements. Our team meets with building owners, architects, or general contractors to review blueprints, check local rules, and identify specific fire codes and radio frequencies required by the city or county.
Identify Coverage Needs With RF Testing
We conduct on-site radio frequency (RF) testing before and during construction. We use specialized equipment to measure existing radio frequencies, identify areas with lower signal strength, and determine your amplification needs.
Build Coverage With Custom BDA System Design
We apply RF engineering for public safety to build a tailored solution using bidirectional amplifiers (BDAs) and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). After designing the layout, we calculate coverage to help address the areas with lower signal strength. We can incorporate backup batteries and supervisory monitoring features to support applicable fire code requirements.
Simplify AHJ Submittals and Code Review
We prepare and submit the required design documents to your Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for an efficient approval process. Our team collates the system blueprints, equipment cut sheets, and calculations before submitting them to the AHJ. We support the approval process and address officials’ feedback before installation begins.
