Nebraska ERRC Public Safety DAS / Signal Booster Installer

Nebraska ERRC (Emergency Responder Radio Coverage) Public Safety DAS / Signal Booster Installation Service is guaranteed by SignalBooster.com, an ERRC System Specialist. Many Nebraska jurisdictions now require NFP or IFC-compliant public safety radio coverage as a prerequisite for getting an occupancy permit. However, Emergency Responder Radio Coverage System (ERRCS) or public safety signal booster and distributed antenna system (DAS) requirements vary from region to region nationwide across United States.

Primarily, the state works from a system dubbed IPAWS. This is a combination of the NEMA agency, MOA memorandum, the COG, MOA, WEA (Wireless Emergency Alerts), EAS (Emergency Alert System), and SOP for communications. When establishing an ERRC system in Nebraska, it is important to file documentation with all the mentioned agencies as well as check with these branches to ensure compliance with both local and federal standards and codes.

EAS and ERRC systems are part of the 2018 state plan. However, reference for EAS still points to the 2017 operations handbook, currently. Those operating an EAS system are encouraged to install an EAS Encoder (see 47 CRF 11.32) as well as a decoder (47 CRF 11.33). Regardless of the coder and decoders used on the system, testing and maintenance to the system is mandatory. Some systems within the state of Nebraska require documented RMT test monthly.

ERRC systems in Nebraska require:

• Compatibility with the VHF public service bands – these bands are 162.400, 162.425, 162, 450, 162.475, 162.500, 162.525, 162.550 MHz.
• System must have a 24 hours a day 7 day a week notification alert in place.
• All systems must meet the FCC Emergency Alert Requirements.
• All systems must comply with the NWR all hazards radio network.

Any questions regarding ERRC can be presented to your local communications authority and/or the FCC prior to installation.

Nebraska has requirements for existing buildings to upgrade by adding a public safety DAS or signal booster system if public safety radio signals coverage does not meet required density. Please note that in-building Nebraska public safety radio coverage requirements can vary greatly based on Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Local AHJ regulations are based on ordinances from several organizations including National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet), International Building Code (IBC), International Fire Code (IFC) and International Code Council (ICC).

Please contact us for exact requirements based on research within your Nebraska state's county and city rules and regulations. We can provide the building owner a grid test and design. We can also review the current ERRC system if already installed, and make adjustments if needed. If necessary, we can install a new ERRC system to meet currently required criterias and achieve building certificate of occupancy approval and issuance.

We perform site survey, and ensure public safety bands coverage by doing cellular and public safety grid test. Then, if ERRC grid test shows less coverage than the required threshold, we can install ERRCS (Emergency Responder Radio Coverage System) such as passive or active DAS (Distributed Antenna System) in following Counties of Nebraska.
