PUBLIC SAFETY DAS FORT LAUDERDALE FL

Is Your Building In Compliance With Public Safety DAS Requirements?

WHAT IS PUBLIC SAFETY DAS

FIRST RESPONDER DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEMS

At TELECO, we provide exceptional Public Safety DAS in Fort Lauderdale, FL, utilizing BDA (Bi-Directional Amplifiers) to establish 2-way radio service through a network of strategically positioned antennas.

This indispensable indoor wireless system is utilized by first responders during critical situations such as natural disasters, fires, and medical emergencies. The BDA system captures wireless signals from outside, amplifies them within the building, and disperses them throughout the structure to enhance coverage.

In accordance with updated laws, a BDA system is now mandated inside every building. This requirement stems from the communication challenges faced by first responders during the tragic events of 9/11 inside the World Trade Center. Subsequent changes to NFPA and IFC codes have made the implementation of the BDA system necessary to ensure effective communication in every building.

NEW BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS

Many cities, including Fort Lauderdale, FL, now mandate building owners to have local codes and ordinance-compliant BDA-based Public Safety DAS systems. These regulations necessitate every new building to meet specific criteria for first responder communication before obtaining the certificate of occupancy.

Whether the structure is newly constructed or existing, every building owner in Fort Lauderdale needs to have their building inspected by a certified Public Safety DAS professional to ensure it complies with the codes. Different municipalities within the city have adopted the NFPA and IFC codes with slight variations based on their interpretations.

Understanding these regulations and codes can be challenging for someone without knowledge of DAS systems. Therefore, having a professional inspection service provider is crucial for maintaining compliance. At TELECO, we offer Public Safety DAS installation and inspection services in Fort Lauderdale, FL, adhering to all requirements for compliance as dictated by the relevant municipalities.

CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC SAFETY DAS KEEP CHANGING

Due to advancements in wireless and radio communication technology, code requirements are periodically updated. Every Public Safety DAS system in Fort Lauderdale, FL, must adhere to the NFPA 1-11.10, NFPA 27, and NFPA 70 codes.

Additionally, local and county FCC Licensee approval is necessary before installation. Moreover, the installation and wiring must comply with the regulations and procedures of the local Building and Fire Department.

These are some of the prerequisites that building owners in Fort Lauderdale need to fulfill both before and after implementing the Public Safety DAS. Given the evolving nature of these codes, it is crucial to seek professional assistance for installing a new system or inspecting an existing one.

TELECO offers comprehensive support, ensuring that your building’s communication systems operate seamlessly during emergencies, safeguarding your certificate of occupancy.

TELECO WILL EVALUATE YOUR BUILDING TO MAKE SURE MANDATORY REGULATIONS ARE MET

When it comes to building codes for Public Safety DAS, the IFC and NFPA are the most commonly used standards. Understanding these is critical as the building and the Public Safety DAS must meet all requirements to pass the inspection.
