During critical emergencies, police, firefighters, EMS and other disaster response personnel need reliable radio communication. In building coverage of these crucial radio signals is often lacking, especially in critical areas such as stairwells and elevator shafts. Much like cellular signals, first responder radio signals are subject to building conditions that limit or often block signals from reaching inside the building. Building materials, especially those used in modern construction are the primary cause of poor in building radio coverage. The same factors that lead to poor cellular coverage also limit radio coverage for first responders.
Jurisdictions across the country are adopting the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the International Code Council (ICC). Much like fire sprinklers, or accessibility requirements, these codes require strong and reliable public safety radio signal in buildings. In many jurisdictions, this requirement must be met to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy.
