BDA (ERCES) Installation, Service & Inspection

Ensuring Reliable Communication When It Matters Most

At Emergency Response Associates, we understand that reliable communication can mean the difference between life and death during an emergency. That’s why we specialize in the design, installation, service, and inspection of Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) systems, also known as Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement System (ERCES).

What Are BDA / ERCES Systems?

BDA/ERCES solutions enhance two-way radio coverage inside buildings where signals may be weak or blocked by walls, glass, or underground structures. These systems ensure that first responders—firefighters, police, and EMS—can maintain clear and consistent communication throughout your facility in compliance with local fire codes and NFPA standards.
