In an emergency, reliable communication saves lives. Deerfield Beach BDA systems don’t need to be complicated. Here’s all you need to know about this crucial technology.
We all love initialisms, but they can get confusing, right? So many letters. What do they all mean? In this case, BDA stands for bi-directional amplifier, and it’s an important communication tool for large structures. At DynaFire, our Deerfield Beach BDA systems are customized for your building. Here are some frequently asked questions we get from our clients looking for a BDA system.
Why Do We Need A BDA System?
The materials used to build commercial structures can absorb or block two-way communication devices, like those used by first responders in an emergency situation. The strength of the signal can be affected by:
- Large buildings
- Metal or concrete construction
- Underground structures
- Low-E glass windows
- And more
At DynaFire, we saw the need for an enhanced two-way communication platform, so we developed a full-service BDA solution that is used in some of Florida’s most well-known structures. Your safety is our top priority and we strive to give our clients the Fire & Life Safety systems they need to stay safe every day.
How Does A BDA System Work?
We’ve established the problem: concrete, metal, space, and windows can block a two-way signal. What’s the solution? It’s pretty simple really. A high power, band-selective radio signal booster system (say that three times fast!) that can be designed and customized to meet the needs of your building.
Ok, that doesn’t sound simple, but think of it this way:
When you are several rooms away from your home internet router, is the Wi-Fi signal weaker? You bet it is. How do you fix it? You could get a mesh system that is essentially a series of boosters that picks up the Wi-Fi signal and extends its reach to other areas of your home.
BDA is a similar concept. By placing bi-directional amplifiers throughout the structure, they boost the two-way signal, allowing reliable communication from and to any part of the building.
What Type Of Businesses Need A BDA System?
Are you getting the picture now? You can probably imagine the implications of having such a system. And can you guess what structures would benefit from Deerfield Beach BDA systems? Here are a few:
- Airport Terminals
- Apartment Buildings
- Assisted Living Facilities
- Commercial Buildings
- Convention Centers
- Government Buildings
- Hospitals
- Hotels
- Manufacturing Plants
- Parking Garages
- Shopping Malls
- Schools
- Shipping Ports
- Stadiums
- Warehouses
- And more!
Even if your business doesn’t fall into one of these categories, your structure could still benefit from a BDA system.
