RF Verification Survey

Secure Your Building’s Life Safety Compliance
Before any Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement System (ERCES) can be designed or installed, your facility must prove compliance with local public safety radio coverage mandates. This mandatory initial step requires a professional RF Verification Survey.

This is not a preliminary estimate—it is a critical engineering analysis required by your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to verify that first responders (Fire, Police, and EMS) can maintain reliable two-way radio contact throughout your building during an emergency.

The Investment in Uninterrupted Communication
The RF Verification Survey is a specialized, technical service that involves mobilizing NICET-certified engineers with calibrated equipment to test, measure, and precisely map the radio signal strength within your building.

This investment delivers the definitive data needed to:

• Confirm Coverage Mandate: Determine if your building already meets the required radio signal strength, or if an ERCES (BDA) is legally mandated for your structure.
• Locate Critical Dead Zones: Pinpoint every area in your building—including basements, stairwells, and core areas—where radio signals are currently blocked by materials like steel, concrete, or low-E glass.
• Generate an Engineering Blueprint: Provide a detailed report and professional engineering layout, which serves as the required blueprint for any necessary system design and is submitted to the AHJ for approval.
