Parking Garages support in New York
Parking garages, especially underground structures, are notorious radio dead zones. The concrete construction, below-grade location, and lack of windows create severe signal attenuation. First responders need reliable coverage in parking garages for security incidents, medical emergencies, and vehicle fires. ERRCS ensures communications work from the lowest level to the roof.
BDA Systems supports owners, contractors, and technical teams throughout New York. We align project scope with local AHJ expectations, adopted code language, and the practical realities of getting from failed testing to final approval.
Typical Requirements
- Coverage on all levels including below-grade
- Stairwell and elevator lobby coverage
- Coverage at entry/exit points
- Integration with building fire systems
- Durable equipment for harsh environment
