Reliable radios can be an essential tool during emergencies, allowing for instantaneous communication without the need for electricity or cell phone towers.

If you’re interested in improving your facility's infrastructure, BearCom and its experts can assist. With over 40 years of experience, we have been creating emergency radio infrastructure for businesses across North America. Learn more about effective radio infrastructure in emergencies below.

Public Safety BDA/DAS Solutions

Public safety Bi-Directional Amplifiers/Distributed Antenna Systems (BDA/DAS) are crucial for enabling first responders and security teams to maintain communication throughout a facility during an emergency. Compliance with current codes often requires the installation of these systems.

There are two types of BDA/DAS systems: one for radios and one for cell phones. These systems often work in tandem to provide comprehensive coverage.

BDA/DAS systems ensure connectivity in areas where radio waves may struggle to penetrate, such as stairwells, tunnels, and garages. BearCom technicians can devise a custom solution for your building, ensuring no dead zones affect your communication.

Emergency Mass Notification Solutions

Emergency mass notification systems are vital for quickening response times and enhancing team safety. These systems are particularly effective in large facilities for disseminating information swiftly. With such systems, notifications are sent instantly to everyone, increasing awareness of any safety issues. Alerts can be directed to either cell phones or two-way radios.

BearCom can customize mass notification solutions to suit a variety of facilities, including manufacturing plants and public spaces. Our broadcast systems can also incorporate emergency sirens, alarms, and other features using Whelen Emergency Systems for better worker safety.

Connect with Area Wide Radio Networks

Using area-wide radio networks can ensure continuous two-way radio function even if your own radio infrastructure fails during an emergency. BearCom offers numerous wide-area two-way radio networks for your teams, complete with customizable storage capabilities.

Area-wide networks enable communication with other teams and sites across provinces with just a button push. For sites that are further apart, there are smaller wide-area networks available from BearCom.
