Emergency Communication

In addition to fire detection capabilities, we also specialize in the design and installation of bi-directional amplification (BDA) technologies that help prevent further injuries and save more lives by enhancing in-building radio frequency (RF) signal coverage for clear and reliable emergency communications between first responders inside a building and emergency personnel outside the building.

Our BDA solutions deliver reliable performance to meet signal strength requirements in the most challenging RF environments like low-E glass, concrete, metal, below-ground structures, and other RF interference or obstructions. And they’re tested and evaluated in accordance with UL 2524 1st Edition requirements.
