Annual ERRCS & BDA Inspections in Colorado

What Our Colorado Inspection Services Include

When RFE Communications conducts an ERRCS or BDA inspection, it’s never just a basic check. We perform a comprehensive evaluation using advanced tools like spectrum analyzers and signal generators to measure gain, noise, and path loss across your radio and cellular network. We also assess how well your system integrates with fire alarm control panels, access control, surveillance, and existing fire protection features like sprinklers and smoke alarms.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Coverage testing in all critical areas, including stairwells, elevators, and basements
• Signal strength analysis to identify interference, weak zones, or shadowed areas
• Hardware evaluations for BDAs, antennas, coaxial cabling, repeaters, and DAS head-end units
• Software and firmware updates for uninterrupted communication during high-traffic situations or power outages
• Validation of backup systems to ensure your equipment runs even during an emergency
• Clear documentation for audits and local fire department compliance

Whether your project involves new construction or an existing structure, we make sure everything aligns with your jurisdiction’s standards and best practices.

Staying Compliant with Fire Safety Codes

Annual inspections aren’t just about checking boxes — they’re about keeping people safe and buildings up to code. At RFE Communications, we help building owners, engineers, and property managers stay compliant with local and national regulations, including:

• NFPA 1221 and NFPA 72, which require reliable in-building communication systems
• IFC Section 510, which sets minimum signal strength requirements
• Local jurisdiction mandates, which often have additional requirements from fire marshals and AHJs

Because codes can change frequently, staying up to date isn’t always easy. That’s where we come in. Our BDA systems design experts track updates in building code and fire protection standards to help you maintain compliance. We also support you during audits and fire marshal visits, so you’re never caught off guard.

Why Choose RFE Communications?

RFE Communications isn’t just a vendor — we’re your partner in public safety. As a distribution company, engineering firm, and installation expert, we support your project from design through ERRCS installation to ongoing maintenance. Our team understands the complexities of working with cellular networks, radio frequencies, and construction materials like concrete, glass, and steel — all of which can impact signal coverage.

We use data-driven heat maps and path loss analysis to map your building’s unique signal profile. From there, we fine-tune your system to ensure coverage in every critical zone. Whether it’s LTE, 5G, or legacy systems, we’ve helped provide ERCES system installation, BDA system installation, and more across all platforms and building types.
