Emergency Responder Radio Communication Systems (ERRCS)

During an emergency, reliable communication is critical. Staying informed with clear radio transmissions between first responders will help prevent further injuries and save more lives. Enhancing in-building radio frequency signal coverage with an Emergency Radio Communication Enhancement System (ERCES) comprised of a BDA (Bi-Directional Amplifier) / Signal Booster and Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is now a key requirement for buildings.

In an emergency, we depend on First Responders to mitigate the problem and help survivors. These firefighters, EMTs and law enforcement officers rely on two-way radios for communications, especially in multi-story buildings when responders can be located on different floors while trying to save lives. For that reason, radio signals within buildings need to be strong to support two-way communications in an emergency situation.

BDA – Bi-Directional Amplification system is used to enhance in-building radio frequency signal coverage.

  • Radio Frequency (RF) Amplifier that amplifies/boosts Signals in 2 directions
  • Also known as a signal booster
  • Can also be UDA
