Why BDA and ERRCS Testing Matters in Colorado
Reliable radio frequency communication is crucial for first responders — including fire departments, police, and EMTs — especially within concrete or multi-level buildings that block signals. ERRCS and BDA systems are designed to maintain uninterrupted contact, even in stairwells, elevators, and basements. Our testing services align with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, the International Fire Code (IFC), and local Colorado building codes to eliminate dead zones and ensure systems perform during emergencies.

What’s Included in Our BDA and ERRCS Testing?
RFE Communications delivers comprehensive ERRCS and BDA testing throughout Colorado using cutting-edge telecommunications equipment. Our engineers conduct full-scale inspections that assess:
- Donor antennas positioned on the roof for optimal signal capture
- Amplifiers, cellular repeaters, and signal boosters with dBm verification
- Coaxial cable routing and wireless coverage analysis on every floor
- Path loss mapping and frequency performance in all zones
We simulate challenges such as power outages, structural barriers, and electronic interference to verify signal integrity across LTE, UHF, and VHF bands, ensuring system resilience under real-world conditions.
Local Compliance and Coordination with Colorado Authorities
Each ERRCS installation must meet unique requirements set by Colorado jurisdictions. We collaborate directly with local fire marshals, AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction), and code enforcement agencies to ensure compliance. Our team oversees every step — from initial signal survey to final documentation and certification — helping your building qualify for a Certificate of Occupancy with no delays.

Frequently Asked Questions About BDA and ERRCS Installation Services
We review amplifier function, antenna placement, coaxial cable condition, and overall signal distribution using tools like spectrum analyzers and signal generators to map coverage in real time.
Most jurisdictions in Colorado require annual inspections to verify system performance, catch degradation, and ensure continued emergency readiness.
Minimum dBm thresholds help ensure reliable communication across every zone in a structure. Meeting those levels is critical to avoid communication failures during fires, medical emergencies, or security breaches.
