Bi Directional Amplifier BDA Solutions Two Way Emergency Communication Enhancement 2018 an emergency reliable communication is critical Staying informed clear radio transmissions between first responders inside a building emergency personnel outside the building can help prevent further and save more lives Responders lose communications when in building radio signals weakened by structures such as concrete windows and metal To solve communication challenges look no further than NOTIFIER Bi Directional Amplifier BDA System is a signal boosting solution to enhance in building radio frequency RF signal coverage for public radio When combined with NOTIFIER fire system NOTIFIER provides reliability and quality expected from a life safety solution Compliance BDA System is a Life Safety System Similar to fire alarm BDA a code driven requirement The BDA system must be monitored the building fire alarm system and annunciate the status of any booster s The monitoring panel shall provide visual and labeled of the following for each signal booster Normal AC power Signal booster trouble Loss of normal AC power Failure of battery charger Low battery capacity Donor antenna trouble IFC and IBC includes requirements for the installation and strength of Emergency Radio Communication Systems ERCES for commercial facilities The International Fire Code IFC Section 510 NFPA 1221 2016

Communication Enhancement Systems address In protection for first responders emergency personnel and the public and enforce public safety qualifiers for the installation and installer As local jurisdictions continue to adopt these codes will need to meet the signal strength required by the Authority Having Jurisdiction AHJ Challenge Weak Radio performance of emergency and public safety radio can be affected by building building size construction and other elements that absorb block radio communications Signal can be negatively impacted by Concrete or metal construction Large buildings Underground structures Low E glass windows RF survey is conducted to determine a building requires a BDA system survey typically conducted by specialized FCC GROL certified and some fire department personnel measures the current Downlink Uplink signal in decibels milliwatts dBm results are submitted to the Having Jurisdiction who will if a BDA solution is required Solution Strong NOTIFIER System and evaluated in accordance with UL 2524 for In building 2 Way Emergency Radio Enhancement Systems NOTIFIER solution enhances two way radio signal strength buildings tunnels and other structures design delivers reliable performance to meet strength requirements even in the most RF environments Class B Bi Directional Amplifier Solutions a high power band selective radio signal booster that can be designed and customized to meet public safety frequency band ranges NOTIFIER of the art BDA System is developed to provide high rejection of interfering signals convenient terminals and built in End Of Line resistors for alarm connections that allow easy troubleshooting and channel expansion the same time the signal booster is designed excellent heat dissipation
