Public Safety DAS Basics for Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems
Wednesday, July 12, 2023, 1:00pm EDT
Can First Responders communicate in the buildings in your town or city? Stairwells, basements, parking garages often don’t have coverage; but many people find lots of areas on main floors of buildings don’t have a signal or a good enough signal to communicate safely.
An introduction to public safety distributed antenna systems (DAS) technology for deployment in Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems.
In recent times across North America, there has been an imperative to improve the signaling for public safety radio communications in buildings. Even still, often in certain areas of large buildings, public safety radios do not work. What does that mean? In a worst-case scenario, that means that police officers responding to calls in some schools, or firefighters in a stairwell of a commercial building, cannot communicate via their hand-held radios. More powerful Emergency Responder Radio Communications Systems enabled by the latest in public safety DAS technology can alleviate such problems.
What the audience will learn:
- Why deploy a public safety DAS?
- What is Public Safety DAS? Key acronyms
- Where is it used, what are the major elements?
- Key elements to a successful PS DAS deployment
- General Requirements Review
- National and Local Code Requirements for Public Safety Communication Enhancement Systems
