Will first responders be able to communicate inside your school in case of an emergency?
Understanding public safety communication is crucial. With so many unfortunate events happening in our schools. Police and firefighters must be able to communicate with each other once they enter your building. Having a reliable emergency communications system installed at your facility can keep students, staff members and first responders safe.

What is Public Safety DAS?
Public Safety DAS utilizing BDA* technology provides enhanced two-way radio service via an antenna system. This ensures that our first responders can maintain wireless communications within a building during medical emergencies, fires, natural disasters and other life-threatening events.
*A BDA (Bi-directional Amplifier) system is an in-building communication system that brings wireless signals into the structure from outside, amplifies those signals with a signal booster, and then evenly distributes the amplified signals via a Distributed Antenna System (DAS).

How is Your school affected?
Florida ordinances and codes are making in-building coverage for first responders mandatory. With these regulations every new and existing building must meet a minimum level of first responder communication reliability as a condition for occupancy.
All school facilities in the state of Florida (new or existing construction as well as remodeling and expansions) must be tested by a certified Public Safety DAS professional. If required, they must have a system engineered and installed and ensure it passes all code specifications by Jan 1, 2022.

Why is it mandatory?
There's good reason that in many areas BDA's are now a CODE DRIVEN REQUIREMENT. During 9/11, firemen and police officers couldn't communicate properly inside the World Trade Center. This triggered changes to the IFC and NFPA codes greatly improving communications for first responders ensuring their radios work wherever they go.
