CGC SFPE - In-building Public Safety Radio Systems (ERRS) Seminar

Public safety officials and first responders need to be able to communicate with each other effectively at the site of emergencies.  However, changes in building construction and building systems have resulted in conditions where  sometimes the first responder radios and cell phones do not work.  As a result, the Code requirements are changing to address this important aspect of safety for our responders. 

This 1 hour presentation will provide an overview of  In-building Public Safety Radio Systems (ERRS) system basics, new and existing codes, performance requirements, types of systems, frequencies, alarming and battery back-up requirements as well as acceptance testing.

The presentation will be provided by Justin Phillips of RF Connect.  Justin has more than 25 years of experience in wireless and core network technologies, large scale macro deployments and distributed antenna systems (DAS). He is currently the Senior Business Development Manager with RF Connect, a company focused on the design, deployment and support of high performance wireless networks for commercial and Public Safety.
