If you require a BDA system, PFS is an authorized dealer, installer, and certifier for RSI Bi-Directional Amplifiers.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or planning a new construction project, PFS can survey, design, and install a code-compliant BDA system that ensures clear, reliable communication for first responders when it matters most.
In an emergency, such as a fire, reliable communication is critical. Imagine a scenario where first responders can't communicate due to radio signal issues on your property. This not only puts lives at risk but also creates a significant liability.
Understanding Radio Wave Dead Spots:
Radio wave dead spots are a common issue, and they can severely impact the ability to contact the proper authorities or hinder communication between emergency personnel on-site.
A Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) strengthens radio signals, ensuring crucial communication for first responders, even in areas with signal dead spots.
Professional Fire & Security
A communication breakdown caused by dead spots can be deadly. According to Alabama building code, buildings must have at least 95% radio signal coverage, and this is strictly enforced by our AHJs (Authority Having Jurisdiction).
Starting in 2024, all new constructions with dead spots will be required to have a BDA system installed. Before you decide on this investment, it's essential to assess the radio coverage on your property.
Certifications
Some AHJs may require a certificate verifying that your property is free of dead spots. PFS is Fully Certified to survey your property, identify any dead spots, and provide the necessary certification to ensure compliance with code requirements.
