FIRE CODE / EMERGENCY RESPONDER RADIO COVERAGE SYSTEMS

   This section is intended to serve as a resource for building developers, contractors, and others to ensure compliance 

with RWC’s policies and procedures regarding the permitting, 

installation, inspection, maintenance, and operation of in-building radio amplification systems such as Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDAs) 

and Distributed Antenna Systems (DASs).   RWC frequencies are owned by the RWC membership and the right to rebroadcast 

them is granted via the RWC. While Fire Code may differ based 

on the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), the RWC ERRCS policy 

and Rebroadcast Authorization Form is standard when seeking 

to enhance RWC frequencies.   Please note that the RWC does 

not approve of Class B amplifiers installed after 11/19/2020.
