At V-COMM Telecommunications Engineering, we advocate for a proactive stance in strengthening public safety (PS) communication networks. The most efficient and successful projects all begin with a complete understanding of the environment and the desired outcomes. The current industry push is for ERCES deployments to support in-building communications for public safety agencies, but this can lead to adverse effects on the radio network if they are not properly deployed. In our discussion, we unveil a collection of best practices for testing, designing and deploying ERCES to enhance in-building coverage, but not degrade the LMR network. Our presentation highlights the critical need for public safety stakeholders to take definitive actions to safeguard their communication systems and their communities.
