In an emergency, every second counts. When a fire, medical emergency, or other critical situation arises, reliable communication for first responders can mean the difference between life and death. That’s why having a robust Public Safety Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is not just a smart decision — it’s a necessary one. TELECO’s Public Safety DAS solutions ensure that your building meets the latest NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and IFC (International Fire Code) requirements while providing seamless, reliable in-building communication for emergency personnel.
Why Public Safety DAS is Essential
Public Safety DAS is a critical infrastructure that enhances two-way radio communication within buildings, ensuring that first responders can communicate effectively during emergencies. Traditional cellular signals often weaken or drop entirely in large buildings or structures with complex layouts, concrete walls, or underground areas. This can lead to dangerous communication gaps during emergencies.
Public Safety DAS eliminates these communication blind spots by using a network of strategically placed antennas to distribute strong, uninterrupted radio signals throughout the building. This ensures that firefighters, paramedics, and law enforcement officers can maintain contact with each other and command centers, even in hard-to-reach areas like stairwells, basements, and parking garages.

Building codes and safety standards are constantly evolving to address new challenges and technological advancements. The updated 2025 NFPA and IFC requirements reflect the growing importance of maintaining reliable communication networks for first responders.
