The lack of emergency radio coverage is delaying building openings nationwide. Modern codes now require signal strength testing throughout a property before occupancy permits are issued, and no coverage means no certificate of occupancy. Most building managers find out the hard way.
We hear it all the time: "What is a BDA? What's a DAS? Someone sent me a spec sheet, and I don't understand a word of it." This guide won't make you a radio engineer. It will make sure you never feel lost in that conversation again. Think of this as your roadmap to clear, amplified radio coverage.

It seems like every few days we see some report of a breach in data security, leaving customers’ private and financial information exposed and vulnerable. The biggest one on record so far was the 2013 Yahoo breach that affected 3 billion (!) accounts. Even worse, it took three years for Yahoo to publicly announce the breach.
