DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR RADIO DEAD ZONES ARE?

New federal codes now require 99% radio coverage in critical building areas to ensure first responders can communicate during emergency events. But radio signals going into and out of buildings can be weakened by materials like concrete, Low-E glass windows, metal — or simply by being far underground. With weakened signals, emergency radio communications can become unreliable, leaving dead spots and emergency responders without a radio lifeline.

The best way to meet the new code is by enhancing the in-building radio frequency signal coverage with Honeywell Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) signal boosters and a Distributed Antenna System (DAS). The only UL-certified BDA solution for emergency radio communication enhancement systems to go beyond the code.

The addressable Class A BDA from Honeywell is designed for particularly complex RF environments. The first system with UL, NFPA, IFC, FCC, and CSFM approvals, the system operates on high-gain, high-power band-selective signal boosters/BDA. Honeywell BDA systems can be customized to meet all public safety frequency band ranges.

Our BDA systems integrate directly into NOTIFIER, Gamewell-FCI or Farenhyt fire alarm control panels to provide reliable two-way radio signal coverage inside buildings, tunnels and other structures. The band selective design delivers reliable performance in even the most challenging RF environments.

RF Coverage Problem

Radio signal strength within a building is relative to the locality's public safety radio repeater antenna. Depending on the location and orientation of the building, signal strength may vary.

BDA Solution

An Emergency Radio Communication Enhancement System provides complete in-building coverage by boosting signals from the radio repeater with a BDA and distributing it throughout the building using DAS. It also ensures reliable two-way communications, receiving and amplifying transmissions from radios inside to the repeater antenna outside.

Our local, specially trained, authorized distributors are ready to determine if your buildings meet the changing RF codes and local ordinances. Request an assessment to see if the BDA solution is the right solution.

Honeywell offers training sessions on BDA requirements and the systems that can ensure your facilities are ready for the local ordinance and code changes coming soon. With a BDA system in place, you can not only safeguard the on-site lives and assets, but also protect the first responders in an emergency.
