Seamless Cellular DAS Coverage for Every Building
Modern buildings are often filled with obstacles that hinder mobile phone signals. Concrete walls, metal structures, and dense materials weaken wireless signals, making it hard for tenants, staff, or guests to connect. That’s where Cellular Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) come in. At RFE Communications, we design and install DAS networks that eliminate dead zones in large buildings like hospitals, stadiums, apartments, and corporate campuses.
Our process begins with grid testing and iBwave design software. These tools help us map out signal weak spots and determine exactly where antennas, amplifiers, and coaxial cables need to be placed. We support LTE, 5G, and all major cellular networks. The result is consistent, strong coverage across every floor, from the parking garage to the top-level conference room.
ERRCS Installation in Colorado
Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems (ERRCS) are essential for life safety in large buildings, parking garages, tunnels, hospitals, and other signal-obstructed structures. Colorado’s building code, fire safety regulations, and national standards require these systems in many new constructions and retrofit projects. At RFE Communications, we specialize in ERRCS installation that delivers uninterrupted radio signal coverage to firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and other emergency personnel — especially in areas where thick walls, concrete, or metal structures might block signals.
ERCES Installation in Colorado
Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCES) take public safety a step further by boosting the performance of existing first responder communication networks. These systems enhance signal strength in areas where coverage is poor or blocked entirely. In Colorado, ERCES installation is often required for facilities with complex layouts, underground areas, or materials like reinforced concrete or steel that interfere with radio signals.
We begin each ERCES installation with a detailed site assessment, using tools like spectrum analyzers and grid testing to pinpoint communication weak spots. Once we understand your building’s needs, we design a custom system that includes indoor antennas, coaxial cable routing, and power supply management. Our certified engineers handle the entire installation process and work closely with your local fire marshal to meet all National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines. We also ensure the system includes backup power, signal monitoring, and clear labeling for future maintenance. Whether you’re dealing with blocked stairwells or signal interference near mechanical rooms, we ensure your ERCES delivers reliable, code-compliant emergency communication.
BDA System Design & Installation in Colorado
Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDAs) are the heart of both cellular and public safety signal enhancement systems. These systems take weak or blocked signals from the outside and amplify them throughout your building, solving issues like dropped calls, blocked data, and communication failure during emergencies. In Colorado’s challenging building environments, BDAs are especially critical in structures with below-grade levels, thick interior walls, or energy-efficient glass that interferes with signal transmission.
RFE Communications offers turnkey BDA design and BDA installation for a wide range of properties, including hospitals, warehouses, high-rises, and multi-family housing. Our team maps out the structure, analyzes the radio frequency (RF) environment, and develops a tailored plan using iBwave software and dBm signal testing. From roof-mounted donor antennas to indoor coverage antennas, we install and tune each component for maximum performance. Whether your priority is cellular connectivity, emergency responder communication, or both, we build BDA systems that support strong, consistent signal coverage where it matters most.
BDA & ERRCS System Testing in Colorado
Regular BDA testing and ERRCS testing are essential for maintaining the effectiveness of your emergency communications systems. Without accurate testing, a BDA or ERRCS system may fall short of fire code requirements or fail when first responders need it most. At RFE Communications, we provide thorough system testing services across Colorado to confirm that your emergency communication system is fully functional, compliant, and ready for inspection.
Our technicians use grid testing methods, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators to evaluate system coverage across every floor and zone. We assess stairwells, basements, mechanical spaces, and other critical areas where communication can be compromised. We also verify that your system meets code requirements for signal strength, power backup, and coverage area. If adjustments are needed, we fine-tune the amplifier gain, antenna alignment, and frequency settings to meet local and national fire safety standards.
