In-building Public Safety Systems
In an emergency, every second can make a difference, but not every building is equipped to allow for reliable communication. Emergency communication channels allow First Responders to stay connected when normal networks are overcrowded.
Why Should You Care If It’s Not Required?
First Responders need the ability to instantly communicate, inside and outside your building. No matter what, your people need to be able to text and call 911 from inside those buildings and receive mass notifications if there is an emergency.
Response Time is Critical: The FCC estimates that an improvement of one minute for 9-1-1 response time would save 10,000 lives in the US annually. A Survey of the International Association of Fire Chiefs reports that “in a large percentage of buildings, critical communication can't happen."
1. DESIGN
Analyzing an existing building system, we help design a new channel reserved specifically for carrying the signal of first responders and emergency calls.
2. IMPLEMENTATION
Without impacting business activities, we integrate the new system into an existing layout and test the signal to ensure first responders can communicate no matter what happens.
3. MAINTAINING THE CHANNEL
We help provide ongoing maintenance and testing to protect the channel for any possible emergencies for our Carrier, 3PO and OEM customers.

“In-building communications system installations are vital to providing solutions that enable public safety First Responders the ability to communicate when responding to an emergency incident inside buildings, tunnels and other structures that restrict communications. It is imperative that all materials, products and installation methods utilized to enhance public safety in-building communications meet current model codes and standards.”
