Reliable emergency responder radio coverage for Santa Monica buildings.
A Distributed Antenna System that boosts first-responder radio signal through steel, concrete, and below-grade spaces in Santa Monica, engineered to meet local code.
Policed by the Santa Monica Police Department
Santa Monica maintains its own police department, so permits, response, and dispatch all run through the Santa Monica Police Department rather than the LA County Sheriff.
Santa Monica's coastal location means exterior equipment is exposed to salt air, which accelerates corrosion on standard hardware over time. We typically recommend weather- and corrosion-resistant components for exterior equipment here.
Does Santa Monica require in-building emergency responder radio coverage for new construction?
Requirements for in-building public safety radio coverage vary by project and jurisdiction. We coordinate directly with local fire authorities and Santa Monica Police Department on testing requirements during design.
What is an ERC or Public Safety DAS system?
It's a Distributed Antenna System that amplifies and distributes public-safety two-way radio signal throughout a building, so fire and police radios work reliably in stairwells, basements, and other areas where steel and concrete construction would otherwise block the signal.
Does an ERC system in Santa Monica need to be tested after installation?
Yes, most jurisdictions require annual testing and recertification, with documentation kept on file for fire inspections. We handle ongoing testing and certification for our Santa Monica clients.
