In an emergency, it is vital for first responders to effectively communicate with each other. If a building has poor reception, rescue efforts can be delayed, plus first responders can be put at higher risk.
Therefore, an effective communication system needs to be installed that adheres to first responder codes. In this article, we will review what those codes are to help you determine if your building is compliant.
Read through the guide below and let us know how BearCom can help.
Public Safety Bi-Directional Amplifiers
Before you can establish if your building complies with first responder
In many emergency situations, cell phone towers become completely overwhelmed by callers within minutes of an incident, bringing communications to a standstill. What other systems are available to inform emergency medical services and law enforcement when response time and situational awareness can mean all the difference?
Enhanced Two-Way Radios Provide Options in a Crisis
Many colleges and universities are increasing safety by putting radios in the hands of their security staff. Streamlined radios such as the digital BC250D
Two-way radio rentals are vital to the safety and security of a large outdoor festival. When thousands of people gather in a specific, tightly controlled location, they can easily overwhelm the nearest cell phone tower, especially if an emergency happens.
We’ve all seen the tragic stories of cars plowing into parade goers, and crazed pop-music fans trampling each other, but most outdoor festival issues are more mundane: grandparents suffering from heat exhaustion, parents scouting for lost children, guys getting into scuffles at the beer tent.
With easy-to-use two-way radios, festival manage
In an emergency, first responders have to talk to each other, regardless of where they are. But sometimes, the facility they are in prohibits that from happening.
That’s why amplifiers are needed to increase in-building radio signal strength. Read all about their importance below, along with how you can get them installed in your building. And be sure to contact the team at BearCom to get additional questions answered.
Importance of In-Building Communications Systems
Having a sufficient in-building communications system is crucial for first responders. With the right system in place, firefigh
One of the biggest challenges of using two-way radios is moving outside of radio range and having your conversation cut off. Radio signals travel in highly specific ways. If you disrupt those principles, then your conversation will fade or end altogether.
To avoid poor coverage and dead zones, you need a way to boost wireless signals. We will review how to extend wireless radio range with Bi-Directional Amplifiers, or BDAs. Read all about it below, and contact BearCom for assistance with your next wireless communications project.

Schools face more challenges than ever to protect students, staff, and assets. Frequently, they are asked to do this with fewer resources. Education communication solutions from BearCom can help enhance safety in schools and campuses. We can show you how to connect administrators, teachers, faculty, and other team members with two-way radios. Two-way radios, like the solid and sleek BC250D and the small, lightweight EVX-S24, improve operating efficiency and enhance campus security.
Improved Communication Means a Safer School Environment
School staff is often stretched across an entire campus
Stadiums and convention centers are home to some of the biggest crowds of the year. Concerts, conventions, games, and conferences all draw thousands of attendees. Staff and vendors who work at these locations know that being able to communicate effectively is essential. What you may not know is that these structures can be some of the most challenging environments for communication systems. Concrete and steel buildings often block wireless signals, leading to communication dead-zones.
There is a tried-and-true solution for these communication issues: wireless two-way radios. Two-way radios
