Our previous issue of Plains Talk introduced our COVID-19 Design Impact Series by talking about how HVAC design considerations can slow the spread. The use of UV in air handling units and isolation room ventilation both support the fight against COVID-19, but in this edition, we wanted to focus on supporting some of the people on the frontlines of that fight.
First responders have many tools at their disposal, but one of the key elements is simply their ability to respond. Reliable, clear radio communication is critical to their core job function, but can be a challenge in modern buildings where materials, location and interference can block a signal.
In this edition of Plains Talk, we discuss the use of Distributed Antennae Systems (DAS) as emerging technologies to eliminate communication barriers within buildings – making it possible for first responders to answer the call.
