TURNKEY DAS SERVICES

From Code Compliance to Connectivity

Reliable in-building radio coverage is essential for Life Safety. Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCES) provide seamless two-way radio communication for first responders—even in challenging areas like stairwells and basements. Required by NFPA, IFC, and local AHJs, ERCES compliance applies to new builds, major renovations, and many existing structures.

TELECO’s In-Building Wireless Solutions team delivers turnkey ERCES systems tailored to your building and local codes. From hospitals to schools, mixed-use properties and hi-rises, we ensure full compliance, ease of maintenance, and dependable performance when every second counts.

OUR DAS FIELD TESTING PROCESS

Before any DAS installation, TELECO performs a comprehensive on-site field test and coverage analysis to determine signal quality, identify dead zones, and verify the need for a DAS system.
Public Safety Das Installation

Spectrum Analysis

We analyze all in-building radio frequencies to detect interference and assess signal clarity.

Public Safety Das Installation

RF Signal Measurement

Our team measures raw signal strength throughout the facility to pinpoint weak coverage areas.

DAS INSTALLATIONS FOR CODE COMPLIANCE

Meet NFPA & IFC Public Safety DAS Standards
  • Critical areas (e.g. stairwells, fire command rooms, equipment rooms): 99% in‑building coverage required per NFPA standards.
  • Other areas: minimum 95% coverage as defined by IFC Section 510
  • Minimum signal strength: ‑95 dBm for both uplink and downlink in every coverage zone.
  • Coverage verification through a grid-based test (typically 20 or 40‑point per floor) using public-safety radios. Testing includes full commissioning, authority acceptance, and ongoing annual performance tests
  • All public‑safety DAS/BDA systems must include 24‑hour battery backup capability, per IFC Section 510 requirements
  • NEMA‑4 rated enclosures for all DAS/BDA head‑end equipment to ensure protection from dust, water, and environmental exposure.
  • Amplifier isolation: antenna isolation must exceed amplifier gain by at least 15 dB, to prevent feedback or interference.
  • Fire survivability: All emergency radio system cables must be two-hour fire-rated (e.g. UL 2196 certified like RFS DragonSkin, or protected with two-hour rated pathways)
  • Submit detailed design plans, test reports, and commissioning documentation to your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for approval and permitting (per IFC and NFPA guidance).
  • Annual testing and maintenance are mandatory to sustain compliance, including tests of coverage, amplifier gain, alarms, and battery backup performance
  • Office buildings
  • High-rise buildings
  • Parking structures and storage facilities
  • Hotels and hospitality venues
  • Malls and retail centers
  • Educational campuses
  • Stadiums and arenas
  • Airports, train stations, and other transportation hubs

Failing to meet code could delay Certificates of Occupancy or result in violations and penalties. TELECO provides expert design, installation, and documentation services to ensure fast and full compliance.

  • Design & layout must account for tighter signal-strength and coverage thresholds (99% in critical zones, 95% elsewhere).
  • Systems need to be built with redundant power and NEMA-grade enclosures.
  • All cabling must meet two-hour fire rating standards.
  • Strict grid testing protocols are now enforced, both during installation and annually thereafter.
  • Documentation and AHJ submission are integral to permit and occupancy clearance.
  • Ongoing annual compliance testing is no longer optional—it’s code-mandated.
