ERRCS and BDA systems built for AHJ acceptance

Emergency responder coverage installed, grid-tested and recertified by tower-trained RF crews, with fire-alarm integration and AHJ-ready closeout from one contractor.

Overview

Coverage proven, buildings open on time

A certificate of occupancy can hinge on radio coverage in a stairwell. We treat ERRCS as the radio system it is.

Most ERRCS problems show up at the final inspection: a floor that fails the grid, a donor link nobody sized, a fire-alarm tie-in that was never supervised. HexTel starts with the acceptance criteria. We confirm them with the fire marshal before mobilization, secure radio-owner consent before energizing, and measure every floor against IFC 510 before calling for the inspection.

The crews that install the system are the same RF crews that build and integrate carrier sites, where sweep, PIM and acceptance testing are routine. Grid results, photos and AHJ-ready packets follow on the schedule agreed at kickoff.

New to the terms? What an ERRCS walk test is and how DAS differs from a BDA, in plain English.

What we do

Install, test, integrate and recertify, with one accountable contractor

Emergency responder coverage systems, designed with you and self-performed
Design-assist, installation and commissioning of ERRCS and BDA systems on UL 2524 listed OEM equipment, installed by tower-trained RF crews rather than a subcontracted low-voltage shop.
- Design-assist coordination with the engineer of record and the OEM
- Donor antenna, BDA, fiber and coax distribution installed by in-house crews
- FCC Part 90 radio-owner consent secured before anything is energized
- Pathways and power under HexTel's electrical licensure
IFC 510 per-floor grid testing with AHJ-format reports
Downlink and uplink signal surveys per floor, measured against IFC 510 acceptance criteria, with coverage maps and reports in the format your fire marshal expects.
- Pre-construction surveys to size the system before bid
- Per-floor grid measurements, downlink and uplink
- Coverage maps and AHJ-format reports from our in-house closeout platform
- Results and photos archived on the schedule agreed at kickoff
Supervised annunciation and panel tie-in
Fire-alarm integration delivered with a TDI-registered fire-alarm partner, with circuits and pathways under HexTel's electrical licensure, so coverage, pathways and power have one accountable contractor.
- Supervisory signals and annunciation to the fire-alarm panel
- Circuits and pathways under HexTel's electrical licence
- Scope delivered with a TDI-registered fire-alarm firm (Texas SFMO)
- One contractor across RF, pathways and power
Code-driven annual recertification
Annual ERRCS inspection and testing with reports on the agreed schedule, and combined ERRCS plus fire-alarm test visits for single-vendor compliance.
- Annual grid retest and system function checks
- Report delivered on the schedule agreed for the visit
- Combined ERRCS and fire-alarm visits where the building allows
- Deficiency findings scoped and priced after the visit

Proof

The same closeout discipline as our carrier work

HexTel's public-safety work builds on the wireless program record: public-safety and macro-tower deployment across the South, Southwest and Midwest, with sweep, PIM, RF validation and acceptance closeout on every site. Read the public-safety wireless case study.

Building-specific references, OEM certifications and sample AHJ packets are released on request.

FAQ

Common questions on ERRCS and BDA work

Who designs the system?

We work design-assist: the engineer of record and the OEM own the design, and our crews install, test and commission it. On smaller buildings we can run the pre-construction survey that sizes the system before bid.

How do you get AHJ acceptance?

Acceptance criteria are confirmed with the fire marshal before mobilization, and FCC Part 90 radio-owner consent is secured before the system is energized. Grid results, photos and AHJ-ready packets follow on the schedule agreed at kickoff.

Do you handle the fire-alarm tie-in?

Yes, with a TDI-registered fire-alarm partner. Circuits and pathways run under HexTel's electrical licensure, so you have one contractor across coverage, pathways and power.

Can you take over annual testing on an existing system?

Yes. Annual recertification includes the grid retest and system checks, with the report delivered on the agreed schedule. Where the building allows, ERRCS and fire-alarm testing are combined into one visit.

Why an RF construction company for ERRCS?

ERRCS is a radio system first. Our crews come from tower and DAS work, where sweep, PIM and carrier acceptance are routine, and the same closeout discipline carries over to AHJ acceptance.

Have a building that needs ERRCS?

Send the address, the floor count and the AHJ. We reply within one business day with the questions that matter for acceptance and a path to a priced scope.
