Florida BDA Contractor

As a Florida BDA Contractor, we provide advanced level design, installation, commissioning and validation services to all cities of Florida.

National Data Contractor traBDA Contractor Historic Miamiins our techs through our certified Florida BDA Contractor program where our techs are all OSHA certified, FCC licensed, and trained through the manufacturers, and are well trained in emergency responder BDA systems. 

We are not your average Florida BDA Contractor, as we offer comprehensive services to any extent you require, along with a wide array of talents in all things wireless and cabled.  Our expansive network capabilities and BDA Contractor design level knowledge, along with a Florida state electrical contractors license, FCC license, OHSA and manufacturer certs, enables us to handle the entire project, whether from the very early stages of pre design/build, to post build implementation, and even your other networking needs. 

 

Why hire a Florida BDA Contractor over a low voltage  installer? 

Other than having the proper Florida licenses,  credentials, and tools, we have a dedicated division that are experts in BDA equipment, and we only use the latest technologies to design  emergency responder systems and their infrastructures, and the latest technologies in equipment to meet your current and future needs.  Our dedicated engineers aggressively watch the industry for change, and are quick to pursue and implement,  thus ensuring you get a system that won't be obsolete in a few years, and one that is expandable and upgradable.

What is an emergency responder radio system?

Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDA) are signal repeaters/boosters installed by a BDA Contractor as part of a DAS system that enables two-way radio communications throughout a building lacking in signal strength, most often in the lower and sub floors, as well as in stairwells, elevator shafts, tunnels, parking garages, etc.  As a Florida BDA contractor, the majority of our focus is in emergency responder radio systems, also called public safety DAS.

These systems allow flexibility for various gains and power options, as well as required frequencies to be boosted and distributed to defined coverage areas addressed by installing an infrastructure of networked antennas known as DAS.

A BDA system enables the building to become compliant with Emergency Responder Radio Coverage (ERRC). The ERRCS code is what a BDA Contractor must adhere to, as it is the standard for BDA Public Safety DAS as mandated under International Fire Code IFC-510 and the National Fire Protection Association standards NFPA 72, Chapter 24.5 Two Way in building ECS (Emergency Communications Systems).

We are a one stop Florida BDA Contractor offering end to end in building wireless solutions in BDA / DAS, with full level services regardless of your project phase.   We provide complete construction ready deign packages with deliverables that can include riser and pathway designs if needed, and all required documentation and support.  There's no need to sub anything out, as we pull our own permits and do our own installation and close out work.   

A BDA Contractor must have extensive knowledge and training, as lives depend on it.  The ability to design, install, and commission a reliable emergency responder radio system is imperative when in times of crisis where first responders or public safety officials need reliable and clear communications, both inside and outside the structure.  Anything less than a full understanding of an emergency response radio coverage system can cost lives, something we take serious.  Beyond BDA public safety DAS, these systems are also referred to as Emergency Responder Radio Communication Systems (ERRCS), and hopefully lastly, Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCES).
