Problem
First responders often experience unreliable two-way radio communication inside buildings due to signal interference from building materials. This lack of consistent communication can hinder their ability to perform time-sensitive and mission-critical tasks, potentially endangering public safety.
Solution
Avari Wireless designs and manufactures Digital Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) specifically for Emergency Responder Communications Enhancement Systems (ERCES) to ensure reliable indoor radio coverage. The Avari VL™ Series is a modular, multi-band digital DAS solution that overcomes signal challenges in medium to large, complex building environments. The system supports all public safety Land Mobile Radio (LMR) frequency bands and utilizes software-configurable digital filters to maintain signal quality. Its architecture provides system redundancy with self-healing capabilities, ensuring continuous operation even in the event of component failure.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes building owners, public safety agencies, and system integrators responsible for ensuring reliable indoor radio coverage for first responders in medium to large buildings.
