How BDA Systems work
A bi-directional amplification system is designed to boost RF signal strength, frequency, and range to ensure proper cellular communications for first responders and emergency personnel responding to fires or other emergencies.
Multiple obstructions within a building can create RF signal noise and distortion. One such obstruction is the material of the building’s walls, with cement and concrete easily distorting RF signal strength. Wi-Fi is another common issue with mobile devices and laptops, often causing overlapping RF signal interference.
A bidirectional amplification system from Keystone is critical to boosting RF signal strength. Our system amplifies incoming RF signals through your Chester County PA building’s DAS antenna and then amplifies that signal when transmitting through your building’s external donor antenna, ensuring clear cellular communication.
Why Maintenance is Important for BDA Systems
Regularly scheduled maintenance of your bidirectional amplification system is essential to comply with NFPA, IBC, and IFC requirements and ensure strong RF signal communication. When you schedule maintenance on your bidirectional amplification system with Keystone, we ensure that the RF signal strength and range from your donor antenna are optimized.
We check the RF signals within your building by performing numerous RF signal tests to ensure frequencies aren’t interfered with. We also inspect your BOA system’s battery and annunciation alarms. Finally, we check and ensure proper cellular coverage and RF signal strength throughout your building while inspecting power dividers/couplers to ensure they properly process RF signals.
