Does your building comply with your local Florida ordinances and fire codes?

Many municipalities throughout Florida and around the country are mandating building owners provide uninterrupted wireless coverage for first responders while inside their buildings.

Radio One Are The In-Building Experts

Also knows as “Signal Boosters”, Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDA) or Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), these solutions bring wireless signals from outside your structure, amplify the signal and then evenly distribute that signal throughout the structure. These solutions are complex and require proper engineering design, analysis and installation in order to make them work correctly and efficiently for your specific situation.

Public Safety DAS

Radio One can take your Public safety project from concept to completion utilizing our in-house design services, project management, and installation crews. By working with Radio One’s qualified integration teams to evaluate and install a public safety communications system in your building, you can help first responders receive crucial support in the most difficult circumstances.

Florida Fire Code: Existing Buildings Timetable

Florida Fire Prevention Code (NFPA 1) requires in-building coverage. Certain building types (high-rise commercial and residential apartments) have been granted an extension.

Florida Fire Prevention Code provides that AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) can require maintaining adequate fire department radio signal strength inside any building (new or existing). Florida Statute § 633.202 provides for compliance extensions for certain building types. These statutory extensions apply to high-rise commercial and residential apartment buildings only. They do not apply to buildings less than 75 feet tall.

Key Dates

• Existing hi-rise buildings are required to comply by the Florida Fire Prevention Code beginning January 1, 2022
• By December 31, 2019, an existing hi-rise commercial building that is not in compliance with the requirements for minimum radio strength for fire department communications must apply for an appropriate permit and must demonstrate that the building will become compliant by January 1, 2022
• Existing apartment buildings are not required to comply until January 1, 2025. However, existing high-rise apartment buildings are required to apply for the appropriate permit for the required communications installation by December 31, 2022

The Next Steps

1. Determine if sufficient fire department radio signal exists in your building. Qualified in-building wireless systems integrators (and others) can assist with this testing.
2. Contact your local Fire Code Official (AHJ, Authority Having Jurisdiction) to find out how this code is being enforced in your jurisdiction.
3. If coverage is insufficient and the AHJ is enforcing this requirement, prepare a plan (design, permits, etc.) by the deadline listed for your property type.

Contact the in-building solutions experts at Radio One to discuss your needs and make sure your building is compliant.
