BDA Solutions and Consulting

The time to get your property into the BDA assessment process was yesterday. Property owners/managers can no longer push this expense to future budgets and expect to be compliant in 2025. This is a highly specialized market and is not just about pulling cables and connecting antennas. BDA solutions require RF engineering prowess and these systems must be designed to keep the signal confined to the inside of the building. If coverage leaks outside the building it can cause interference and create oscillation, impairing the ability for firefighters and first responders from using their radios systemwide. For this reason, special attention and time for vendor selection must also be considered. Buyer beware as there are a lot of new entrants into this space that do not have the acumen and resources to successfully integrate these systems. A property owner’s first question to a vendor should be, “Have you built in this jurisdiction before?”
