BDA “Bi-Directional Amplification”
ECD Systems is a fully FCC licensed, Notifier certified provider of First Responder Emergency Radio Enhancement Systems for large buildings with trunked radio coverage problems. NFPA 72 has required BDA systems in buildings with coverage deficits since 2010 and most fire departments are now enforcing the requirements leaving building owners to solve the problems with spotty coverage. ECD Systems can help.
- ECD Systems performs site surveys to determine radio coverage problems in any building.
- ECD Systems provides BDA System designs, consulting and budgets for early construction projects with coverage concerns.
- ECD Systems will design, install, service and tune a fully UL 2524 Listed BDA system for any facility.
- Yearly tuning and testing is required by licensed professionals and performed by ECD trained staff.
The Notifier BDA System has several benefits over older DAS solutions from radio companies who don’t understand Life Safety.
- More cost effective than typical DAS solutions.
- Supports all Public Safety Frequency Bands.
- UL2524 Listed as a complete system.
- NFPA 72, NFPA 1221 and IFC Compliant.
- Built in NFPA required Fire Alarm Monitoring Module and required built in annunciator.
Unlike a typical DAS (distributed antenna system) BDA is “purpose-built” for the life safety industry to serve the latest code requirements and needs of First Responders.
