JDRM follows the 2024 Ohio Building Code (OBC) and test to the latest standards of NFPA 1221. The Ohio Fire Code (OFC) requires all new buildings and remodeled buildings to be tested for First Responder Radio Signal. The code now allows fire code officials to enforce this code in existing structures they know that the public safety radio coverage does not work.
Anytime a building is constructed or any modifications and expansions are done to the building.
If a bidirectional amplification (BDA) is added to the building to enhance the signal the system must be tested ANNUALLY.
JDRM can recommend a reliable partner to design a bidirectional system that meets code compliance. This type of amplification system will be required to be tested annually. JDRM will assist with this annual test.
Requires, “Emergency responder radio coverage shall be provided in all new buildings in accordance with section 510 of the fire code.” JDRM uses PCTEL’s public safety network testing solutions and has a PCTEL certified public safety tester with 40+ years’ experience on staff.
