Coastal Empire Fire & Security is an authorized supplier, installer and tester in SC, GA, & FL for Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDA). Our knowledge and experience with commercial building needs, municipality compliancy and professional installations is driven by our work with BDA Systems as well as commercial fire alarms, security systems, and access control.   We are proud to be the go-to company for many commercial applications as a full-service safety compliance company.

BDAs are required in commercial buildings to boost signals for first responders. Clear and secure communication requires BDAs for dead spots caused by barriers such as concrete, windows, metal, interference and more. Often these dead spots will be in:

  • > Stairwells
  • > Underground parking
  • > Tunnels
  • > Elevators
  • > Pump rooms
  • > Reinforced shelters
  • > Large areas with multiple buildings (school campuses)
  • > Buildings with thick walls (sports arenas)
  • > Nearly all Multi Story Buildings

Dead spots exist in 98.5% of buildings and 56% of first responders have experienced communications failures. The need for BDA systems is not only required to meet code compliance but also preparation for safety during any emergency.

BDA Installation and BDA Testing

Bi-Directional Amplifier systems have been required in new construction since 2013, and laws are now being more strictly enforced and starting to expand to existing structures.  Coastal Empire can provide various BDA services. We have worked with a number of different municipalities for our systems and have the know-how to get jobs completed and meet or exceed code requirements.  Nothing short of a completely professionally installed system that meets all compliance codes will get passed. Nothing short of great service and quality control is what we deliver to our customers.

The manufacturers of the BDA we carry have specific training we must pass in order to install their systems.  We take this training very seriously as a commitment to our industry and the safety of our customers.

Bi-Directional Amplifier Systems also have a number of different requirements when it comes to power. Besides the dedicated back-up power source, different warning signals will warn of lower power and other issues through a dedicated monitoring panel. Coastal Empire has worked with different powering options through the other systems we install, including fire, alarm and security, and are well-versed in the top safety issues for back-up power. We find this especially essential in our hurricane-prone area and take back-up power capability as critical to our customers and our community.

BDAs can be installed in any location for signal boosting, not only where required for compliance.
