NFPA and IFC codes are now requiring buildings to have adequate Public Safety frequency signal strength as a prerequisite to gain occupancy in a building. Many buildings that currently are lacking in this signal are now being pushed by local jurisdiction to follow these codes and if needed to increase this signal.

In an emergency, first responders must be able to maintain communications throughout a property in emergency situations. Not having their radios work can be the difference between a response in seconds or minutes. We know that time matters more than ever during these critical moments.

A Quick Overview: NFPA 72 and IFC Requirements
A Quick Overview: NFPA 72 and IFC Requirements
Below are the most common and important requirements:
Below are the most common and important requirements:
- Wireless Coverage: The NFPA dictates that 99% coverage is required in areas of “vital importance,” which are designated by your local fire department. In other areas, 90% coverage is required.
- Equipment Enclosures: The NFPA and IFC specify that all equipment supporting the public safety network must be housed in NEMA-4 compliant enclosures.
- Minimum Signal Strength: According to both the NFPA and IFC, a minimum signal strength of -95 dBm is required for adequate coverage.
- Battery Backup: Equipment that supports the public safety radio system must be able to function for 24 hours on a backup battery.
- Antenna Isolation: The NFPA dictates that antenna isolation must be 15 dB higher than the gain of the amplifier.
Several states and cities, or AHJs, now require system designers and lead installation personnel to possess the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-issued General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL).
