First Responder Radio “BDA” Systems 1

In-Building Public Safety Radio Systems

Ensure reliable in-building communication for personnel.

Transtar installs and tests Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) systems—an essential part of Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCES). These systems improve two-way radio coverage for fire, police, and EMS inside your building, including challenging areas such as stairwells, basements, and elevator shafts.
