Frequently Asked Questions
What is ERRCS?
- A wireless system that boosts the outdoor/ambient public safety signal that supports 1st responder communications.
- Anecdotally, these systems started to gain prominence from catastrophic failures of public safety during events such as 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina.
What does ERRCS do?
- Ensures that first responders have good communication inside a building during an emergency, which is crucial for the safety and the public and first responders.
Why is ERRCS required
- The need for good first responder communications is obvious, the problem is that in large buildings with dense construction, the signal does not penetrate the building.
- Especially true in new construction where low-e glass is often present (almost all new commercial construction, not just LEED rated buildings).
- Required in fire code.
