In an emergency, communication isn’t optional — it’s critical. Whether it’s a fire, medical emergency, or other life-threatening situation, first responders rely on uninterrupted two-way radio communication to navigate buildings, coordinate rescue efforts, and save lives. Unfortunately, many buildings — especially large commercial properties — have areas where signals drop or fail entirely. Stairwells, underground parking garages, mechanical rooms, and elevators are among the most common dead zones.

This is where Public Safety Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) come in — and why the latest building codes are now making them mandatory.

At TELECO, we specialize in designing and installing Public Safety DAS solutions that ensure your building meets the highest standards of safety, performance, and code compliance. Whether you're a facility manager, property developer, or building owner, you have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure your building can support life-saving communications at all times.

Here are just a few highlights of the upcoming code changes:

Stronger Signal Coverage — Radio coverage must now reach into all critical areas, including stairwells, elevators, basements, and mechanical rooms. Mandatory

Battery Backup — DAS systems must remain functional during power outages, ensuring emergency communications continue uninterrupted. Expanded Testing &

Maintenance Requirements — Systems must be regularly inspected and maintained for optimal performance.

Certificate of Occupancy Tied to Compliance — Your building can’t legally open—or remain operational—without meeting public safety DAS requirements.

Failure to comply can result in major setbacks: Delays in building occupancy, steep fines, and liability in the event of a failed emergency response.

At TELECO, we’re more than just installers. We are your strategic partners in designing and delivering end-to-end Public Safety DAS solutions tailored to your building’s unique structure and communication needs.

Here’s how we help:
