Ensure Reliable In-Building Emergency Communication Compliance
Ensuring compliance with ERCES regulations requires expert RF engineering, not just a basic installation. A proper public safety DAS solution must be designed, tested, and implemented by an experienced RF engineering firm to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and International Fire Code (IFC) standards.

FAQs

A building usually needs an Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement System (ERCES) if certain areas have weak emergency responder radio coverage. To determine the quality of your existing coverage, we conduct a grid test and carefully assess the building’s signal strength. From there, we determine whether an ERCES, or public safety DAS, is necessary to meet local fire code and safety regulations.
ERCES amplifies radio signals in areas where traditional signals struggle to penetrate to support clear communication for firefighters, police, and medical teams throughout the building.
Failure to comply with local codes can cause safety risks, fines, or even prevent you from obtaining a certificate of occupancy. We make sure your public safety DAS meets all local fire and safety requirements by working closely with local authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) for approval.
We use iBwave design software to map the best locations for antennas to provide full coverage throughout the building. Through a detailed site survey and signal strength analysis, we make sure all key areas, like stairwells, basements, and parking garages, have reliable emergency communication coverage.
Yes, ERCES can integrate with your existing communication infrastructure. We make sure the system works smoothly with other in-building technologies, Wi-Fi, cellular DAS, or private networks. Proper planning and channel separation maintain smooth coexistence among these systems.
ERCES must comply with standards like NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and the International Fire Code (IFC), as well as any local requirements set by the AHJ. We design and implement systems that meet both national and local regulations.
We stay informed about changes in local and national fire codes to keep your public safety DAS compliant. Our team performs regular system updates and conducts annual health checks to address new requirements or recommendations from local authorities.
Yes, our certified experts can design custom ERCES solutions for large and complex environments, including but not limited to high-rise buildings, hospitals, universities, and industrial campuses. Our comprehensive process guarantees reliable emergency communication coverage for first responders within these facilities.
Our engineers evaluate potential interference during the design phase to make sure the ERCES operates on a dedicated frequency band while preventing disruption to other wireless solutions like Wi-Fi, cellular DAS, or private networks. Careful planning and channel separation guarantee smooth coexistence among these systems.
Yes, ERCES can be installed in older or historically significant buildings. Our project approach seeks a balance between providing robust wireless coverage and respecting the structural and aesthetic requirements of the facility, even when working with older or complex layouts.
