BDA Systems

Bi-Directional Amplifier systems are required to make sure there is coverage for all emergency communication systems. Take a look and find out how these systems will benefit your business. 

How is NOTIFIER’s BDA and FIBER DAS SYSTEM Unique?

Specifically designed to meet NFPA and IBC/IFC code compliance with the UL2524 2nd Edition listing, our BDA and Fiber DAS solution enhances two-way radio signal strength inside buildings, tunnels, and other structures. NOTIFIER BDA and Fiber DAS Solutions offer Digital Class A/B, low to high power (0.5W to 5W) radio signal booster system that can be designed and customized to meet all public safety frequency band ranges -VHF, UHF, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, and FirstNet Band 14 support with Single/Dual Band. This state-of-the-art BDA and Fiber DAS System is developed to provide the best amplification and coverage performance but at the same time support reliability of the radio network with no noise.

How to determine if a BDA System is beneficial to your building

Typically performed by specialized FCC GROL certified technicians and some fire department radio personnel, an RF Survey is accomplished by measuring the Downlink/Uplink signal strengths in decibels-milliwatts (dBm) using special measuring devices. Results are submitted to AHJ to determine if a BDA system is required or if a waiver is appropriate.
