In the event of an emergency, first responders need to be able to communicate with each other inside, and to others outside of your commercial building. But in a large percentage of buildings, this just can’t happen.
An improvement of just one minute in communication time can save as many as 10,000 lives annually. Is your building ready to handle emergencies, or will critical communications be blocked during the most important moments?
The best time to prepare a building to comply with fire safety regulations is before it’s built. The site and building materials must be analyzed to determine whether they will block or allow emergency communications. If an issue is found, then communication amplifiers must be installed. You may know them as DAS systems, BDA systems, or Responder Radio Coverage System (ERRCS).
Here’s how we can help:
In-building communication systems have been part of New Jersey’s fire code for years. The state has been lax in its enforcement, but that’s starting to change. In the event of an emergency, 911 calls and functional cell location services save countless lives. Make sure your building is up to code and that communications meet standards for public safety.
