Additionally, all our systems come Plug-n-Play, making the commissioning process streamlined and efficient, saving you time and hassle during installation and implementation.
The ERECS/BDA:
A Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) system is a critical component in enhancing emergency first-responders radio communications within buildings. It works by amplifying signals both from the outside to the inside and vice versa, ensuring seamless communication even in areas with weak or obstructed signals. BDAs are particularly essential in large structures like high-rise buildings, hospitals, and shopping malls, where signal penetration can be challenging. These systems improve the reliability and clarity of communication for emergency responders, making them indispensable for safety and efficiency. At Marconi Technologies, our BDA systems are designed to meet all AHJ requirements, ensuring top-notch performance and compliance with safety standards.
Our BDA systems are versatile, supporting all bands including UHF, VHF, 700, 800 MHz, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
BDAs are the most commonly required systems by most Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), ensuring compliance with local communication standards. The exception is the FDNY in New York City and a few other cities, which have different requirements.
Understanding The ARCS:
An Auxiliary Radio Communication System (ARCS) is a specialized communication solution designed to enhance the effectiveness and reliability of emergency communication within high-rise buildings and other large structures. Unlike typical Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) systems, ARCS is specifically engineered to meet the stringent requirements of the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) and a few other municipalities. ARCS provides dedicated, resilient communication channels for emergency responders, ensuring they can maintain clear and uninterrupted communication during critical incidents.
The FDNY mandates the use of ARCS over BDAs to ensure the highest level of safety and operational efficiency in New York City’s unique urban environment. ARCS systems are built to provide superior performance under the challenging conditions often encountered in high-rise buildings, including extensive steel and concrete infrastructure that can severely impede signal transmission. By utilizing ARCS, the FDNY ensures that firefighters and other emergency personnel have access to reliable communication networks, which is crucial for coordinating efforts, making quick decisions, and ultimately saving lives during emergencies. At Marcon Technologies, our ARCS systems are designed to meet these rigorous standards, offering unparalleled reliability and performance for urban emergency communication needs.
At Marconi Technologies, we carry two models of ARCS that meet and exceed FDNY requirements. These models are designed to provide the highest level of reliability, performance, and ease of use, ensuring seamless integration into New York City’s demanding environments. Our ARCS systems not only comply with all necessary standards but also offer enhanced features to support the critical communication needs of emergency responders. With Marconi Technologies, you can trust that our ARCS solutions will deliver the safety and efficiency required for effective emergency response.
Our Models
Our system is plug and play and non-proprietary, allowing the installer to connect and power up the system as soon as it is installed. That saves time and money, with no need to wait for a third party technician for initial startup and servicing.
Our unique approach to system designs, allows us to offer three models: Both housed in a red NEMA 4x cabinet.
