ERRCS / BDA FAQs
It’s a system that pulls the public‑safety radio signal from outside, amplifies it, and redistributes it indoors so first responders can talk anywhere in your building.
Your Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) decides. We test first. If coverage doesn’t meet code, we’ll provide a design and permit package.
