Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems
Current energy efficient and hardened building materials may prevent First Responders radios from working effectively in your Building. This is a Life Safety issue. Recent updates to building and fire codes now designate testing and ensuring quality First Responder radio service as the responsibility of the building owner or manager, with compliance often being mandatory. Obtaining test results from a certified vendor is a key aspect of this compliance. If the results fall short of standards, the installation and certification of signal amplification equipment becomes imperative. Recertification is essential, typically yearly depending on jurisdiction.
New structural additions or construction of new buildings may trigger immediate compliance requirements, potentially hindering the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Rectifying this issue is a multifaceted process, involving skilled technicians, measurement equipment, coordination with local fire and emergency officials, and collaboration with fire alarm companies. Technicians must have an FCC license and be certified on the installed equipment.
HealthSignals is excited to join Premier’s family of vendors. Premier, a leading healthcare improvement company, unites approximately 4,400 U.S. hospitals and 250,000 other providers to transform healthcare through integrated data and analytics, collaboratives, supply chain solutions, consulting, and other services.
