BDA Government Mandates

What is a BDA System?

A BDA system is essentially a way to increase safety for first responders when in your building by boosting the communication signals on the local Emergency Responder Radio System (ERRS.) Learn more here. 

Who Needs a BDA System?

As of 2020, 47 state regulations require that all new buildings have proper communication streams for first responders within a building- this requires a UL certificate. 

There is also a grandfather clause that allows existing buildings some time to make the investment in a BDA system, though this is based on a state by state basis. 

How Do I Know if My Building needs a BDA System?

If you are unsure as to whether your existing building has proper connectivity for first responders, Technology Install Partners can come to your building and do a test throughout the facility.
