WHY IS YOUR SCHOOLS PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO COVERAGE SO IMPORTANT?
HELP ENSURE FIRST RESPONDERS REMAIN IN CONTACT DURING AN EMERGENCY
Gun violence in America is very active and unfortunately K-12 schools are under assault. School safety and security officials are finding that first responders' portable radios do not work or have huge gaps in coverage inside the district's buildings.
The consequences of lost or interrupted communications coverage can be damaging. When radio signals between first responder personnel are compromised:
- Critical situational awareness cannot be shared
- Incident response times can be delayed
- Incident response management to and from the 911 Dispatch Center is nonexistent inside your buildings
- Resulting in an increased risk to students and staff
Arkansas Public Safety Solutions (APSS) is here to help improve your district's public safety radio coverage.
How to Improve Your Radio Coverage
The solution to the problem is implementing a Public Safety Distributed Antenna System (DAS). DAS is a signal boosting network designed to enhance in-building radio frequency signal in areas with compromised coverage. This system provides buildings with reliable signal for First Responders enhancing the safety of your building, assets, and occupants.
Key Benefits of a Public Safety DAS System
- Allows first responders to communicate with 911 dispatch to coordinate incident management in school district buildings.
- The DAS system is easy to use and requires no monitoring or staff- guaranteed coverage year after year.
- Low Maintenance Cost- A DAS system only requires annual maintenance checks for functionality.
HELPING SCHOOLS SOLVE SECURITY CHALLENGES
APSS has provided public safety radio coverage testing in 8 school districts in Arkansas in the last 12 months. Of the 8 school districts tested, not one of them has adequate public safety coverage inside district buildings. The APSS team has 85 years of cumulative public safety experience and is ready to engage with your school security team to solve this problem, provide an engineered solution and comprehensive public safety communications plan.
