Maintain Emergency
Radio Communication
A public safety distributed antenna systems is both imperative and now a requirement from The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the International Fire Code (IFC) to maintain coverage of first responders’ radio systems. Newbridge Wireless offers emergency responder radio coverage testing to assess your building’s signal and develop solutions to improve existing infrastructure or implement a new system to bring your building up to code. If the signal coming into your building is weak, our DAS experts may recommend is a bi-directional amplifier or BDA system. The public BDA can be used to bring in a stronger signal from outside to inside the building to then be evenly distributed throughout the structure via a distributed antenna system. Having this signal is what will ensure superior first responder radio coverage. Reach out to our team today for an evaluation of your building’s wireless coverage and connectivity.
The Importance of
Public Safety DAS
Imagine you are a building owner and an emergency crisis like a devastating fire is breaking out. You rely on brave emergency responders to save lives and your property. Inside, firefighters depend on their emergency radio responder system for critical communication. In emergencies, clear and effective communication is key. But what if their radios fail deep within the building? Lives are at risk, and every second counts. Without reliable wireless emergency communication systems, the consequences can be fatal.
How Newbridge Wireless
Improves Emergency Communication
How do we ensure that our first responders never lose radio signal coverage in buildings? The installation of an emergency communication system. A public safety DAS can boost first responders’ radio system signals and enable them to maintain proper contact with one another in a crisis situation. Our radio communication solutions allow emergency responders to effectively do their jobs, ensuring much higher rates of success. Our team of DAS experts can evaluate your building’s wireless connection and connectivity capabilities while providing industry-leading solutions to improve your existing infrastructures.

When Do You Need a DAS for Public Safety?
In the face of emergencies, swift responses from first responders are crucial, relying heavily on emergency responder radio coverage within buildings. From fires to medical crises, security threats, and natural disasters, these are all crucial potential life-or-death situations where you must provide first responders with the critical infrastructure necessary for successful communications.
Yet, new building constructions often pose challenges to emergency responder radio systems, particularly in areas like elevators, garages, basements, and stairwells where signal reception is weak. In such critical situations, a public safety DAS can be a game-changer, ensuring uninterrupted communication for positive outcomes.
Installation of a distributed antenna system can be planned alongside building design or deployed post-construction for optimal coverage. Our industry-leading DAS services and solutions specialize in all the necessary steps for effective signal testing followed by proper installation and maintenance of your public safety DAS. When it comes to maintaining first responder radio communication systems, we are here to help.
Public Safety
DAS Requirements
The tragic events of 9/11, unfortunately, showed us what can happen when emergency responders’ in-building radio system coverage is not sufficient, proving unsuccessful communication in a dire situation. The heroic firefighters found themselves trapped in the towers with no means to communicate their locations or call for assistance. Since that tragic event, Public Safety DAS requirements and regulations have been adopted on the local, state, and national levels to ensure that first responder radio coverage, including law enforcement, fire, EMS, and government employees – have dependable radio coverage in the event of an emergency.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the International Fire Code (IFC) have new mandates requiring 700MHz and 800MHz radio coverage for modes of emergency communication in all buildings. The level of in-building coverage for first responders isn’t a convenience anymore, it is a requirement. Local jurisdictions have varied requirements for coverage, but Newbridge Wireless provides a full range of services to ensure our customers are compliant with jurisdictional Public Safety Radio codes and ordinances. We specialize in NFPA and IFC-compliant solutions and we hold a GSA schedule 70 contract.
