E-Comm 911 In-Building Radio Systems British Columbia

The E-Comm 911 wide area radio network provides services to police, fire and ambulance first responders in the lower mainland.

Current building materials and local obstructions such as other buildings can greatly reduce the signal power for the end user inside buildings. These conditions can cause poor reception and often results in no communications for the radio users. Recognizing the need to improve the radio performance inside buildings municipalities in the Lower Mainland have passed bylaws that address these concerns to ensure there is seamless and uninterrupted communications for all first responders. All buildings that meet the criteria set forth in the bylaws will require an in-building amplification system which has to be completed before a building’s occupancy permit can be issued.

These systems are implemented by following a Zone Enhancer Authorization process which requires a system design, testing and final reports to be submitted by a professional engineer.

Linkwave Wireless provides expertise for the authorization, design and implementation of in-building radio systems that meet or exceed the bylaw requirements.
