Large metal-framed or metal and concrete buildings can <br /> weaken the signal so that communication and,therefore,firefighter safety is compromised. This structure <br /> must meet the requirements of EMC 16.03.060, Section 511,which specifically addresses required radio <br /> system performance standards in this structure. Your attention to this feature early in the planning <br /> stages will help avoid a costly, last-minute retroactive installation of radio signal amplification <br /> antennae and other equipment.
