Each and every day, the brave men and women who serve as law enforcement, firefighting, and EMT professionals, put their lives on the line to ensure the safety of the American public. When called upon to respond to a life-threatening emergency, it’s important that these professionals have access to effective and reliable radio and cellular communication systems. In situations where every second counts, these systems ensure the fastest possible responses, helping to protect the lives of both the American public and our heroic emergency responders.
In the interest of public health, safety, and welfare, the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) and International Fire Code (IFC) establish codes for the protection of public health, safety, and welfare from the hazards of fire, explosion, and dangerous conditions in buildings. Beginning in 2013, the NFPA and ISC began publishing a series codes designed to ensure the availability of reliable radio communication in buildings during event an emergency. These codes outline the use of bi-direction amplifier systems to ensure strong and consistently distributed radio coverage. Today, building and fire codes in nearly all jurisdictions require Emergency Response Radio Signal (ERRS) strength and coverage be regularly measured in all new and many existing buildings.
NFPA 72 – 2013 | NFPA 1221 – 2016 | IFC 510 – 2015 | IFC 510 - 2018
A variety of materials used in the construction of buildings, such as glass, steel, wood, and concrete, impede and degrade the strength and consistency of radio communication signals. Bi-directional amplifiers are critical components of an Emergency Radio Communication Enhancement System (ERCES). Bi-directional amplifiers enable a building ERCES to powerfully distribute a broad range of two-way radio signals across the interior of buildings - ensuring uninterrupted communication between emergency responders both inside and outside of buildings.
