| PSERN: New Requirements for Buildings in King County with Emergency Radio Systems - February 10, 2021 |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| Attention BOMA Members who have a DAS (Distributed Antenna System) in your buildings or should have one installed retroactively per a fire code requirement for many buildings.
The PSERN Project is upgrading the emergency radio communications system in King County. This critical network allows our fire fighters, law enforcement officers, EMS, and other first responders to communicate. About 250-300 buildings in King County have a DAS system. Most new hi-rises are required to install them. There has been a retroactive requirement that Fire Marshals have been addressing. September 1, 2021 is a key date as all buildings must be in compliance with the new regulations or have a signed contract to have the testing and realignment scheduled if necessary.
