If a DAS system is required due to failing signal coverage, Industrial Communications will design a solution based on your specific needs and budget that complies with Florida SB 1190, NFPA 72, NFPA 1221, Florida Building Code and IFC codes for Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems (ERCES). Our certified design team has led the way in wireless communications in Florida for over 40 years. Once the site survey and DAS design have been completed, we will submit the full design package to the local AHJ for their approval and permitting. expectations.

PUBLIC SAFETY BDA & DAS (ERCES)
WHAT IS PUBLIC SAFETY DAS?
Public Safety DAS (Distributed Antenna System) is crucial for ensuring reliable communication in emergency situations. These systems are designed to provide comprehensive coverage for public safety radio systems, both inside and outside of buildings. This reliability is essential for police, fire, and other first responders.
In compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, new constructions of commercial buildings and large apartment complexes are mandated to integrate public safety systems. The primary goal is to ensure that radio communications function effectively within these structures, ultimately contributing to life-saving efforts.
Key components of a public safety DAS system include:
1. **Donor Antenna:** This component receives signals from the public safety radio system.
2. **Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA):** The BDA amplifies the received signals.
3. **Distributed Antenna System (DAS):** The DAS is an in-building network comprising coaxial cables, splitters, and antennas. It evenly distributes the amplified signals throughout the building.
4. **Fiber Design (for larger facilities):** In larger facilities, DAS is often designed using fiber to prevent signal loss over long distances.
5. **Battery Backup System:** This system ensures that the DAS operates seamlessly even during power failures, maintaining continuous communication capabilities.
In summary, Public Safety DAS plays a critical role in maintaining effective communication for first responders and public safety personnel, meeting the stringent standards set by NFPA. The integration of these systems is vital for ensuring that radio communications function reliably, contributing to the overall safety and well-being of individuals within these structures.
THE PROBLEM: POOR RADIO COVERAGE INSIDE BUILDINGS & SCHOOLS:
EMERGENCY RESPONDER RADIO COVERAGE SYSTEMS
Industrial Communications' Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems (ERCES) are engineered to support P25 first responder communication systems using a wide range of two-way radio frequency (RF) spectrums to meet the requirements of virtually any jurisdiction:
- VHF (150 MHz -170 MHz)
- UHF (450 MHz -512 MHz)
- 700 MHz /800 MHz
- FirstNet® / Band 14
PRIMARY APPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC SAFETY BDA-DAS SYSTEMS
- New building construction
- Residential Apartment Complexes
- Expanding existing facilities or buildings
- Bringing older buildings up to code
SAFETY CODES REQUIRING ADEQUATE PUBLIC SAFETY ERRC
Below is information on state fire codes. Most local jurisdictions will enforce amended versions or use different codebooks. Industrial Communications' DAS experts stay up to date on all these changes. We have relationships with many of the AHJs and understand specifically how they are interpreting code compliance. Contact us to find the local emergency responder radio code requirements for your project and area.
FLORIDA SB 1190
On June 24, 2022, Florida SB 1190 was signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis. Florida Fire Prevention Code (FFPC) requires adequate public safety communications coverage inside buildings (new and existing). Low-rise (less than 75 feet) buildings are NOT exempt from FFPC requirements for in-building public safety communications coverage.
These changes were effective July 1, 2022.

NFPA 72® (NATIONAL FIRE ALARM AND SIGNALING CODE)
Keeping up to code can be a difficult job for building operators. Regulations and requirements are constantly being updated and can vary by location. Regulations for public safety wireless are established by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and International Fire Code (IFC).
The National Fire Protection Association drafted NFPA 72: National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, which provides the latest safety provisions to meet society’s changing fire detection, signaling and emergency communications demands. NFPA 72 requires the use of a public safety distributed antenna system (DAS) strictly for use by first responders. While DAS can be essential for tenants or personnel within your building to communicate effectively on an everyday basis, public safety DAS is installed to enable first responders within the building to communicate during an emergency and must also have an alternative power source in case of a power outage.
NFPA 1221
Standard for the installation, maintenance and use of emergency services communications systems that covers all aspects of service delivery, from receiving calls to dispatching emergency units to the correct location in the appropriate time period.
INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE SECTION 510
Section 510 of the International Fire Code specifies that “buildings and structures which cannot support the required level of radio coverage shall be equipped with a radiating cable system, a distributed antenna system with Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-certified signal boosters, or other systems approved by the fire code official in order to achieve the required adequate radio coverage.”
NFPA 1225 (COMING SOON)
NFPA 1225 incorporates and clarifies sections of NFPA 1061 and NFPA 1221 into one complete Standard for Emergency Services Communications.
