Public Safety Radio Uplink Performance: Addressing Interference, BDAs, and Other Challenges

Uplink radio performance is crucial for ensuring seamless in-building and outdoor communications. Radio performance degrades due to interference and noise issues, which are more common on the uplink. These issues often go undetected by audio testing, leaving first responders unable to communicate in an emergency. In this webinar, you’ll learn best practices for testing and monitoring uplink radio performance on public safety and private wireless networks, illustrated by real-world examples from Washington DC’s Office of Unified Communications.

Topics include:

• Why measuring uplink LMR performance is critical for public safety and private network communications
• Regulatory requirements and testing processes related to in-building coverage and Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCES)
• Managing interactions between in-building signal boosters/BDAs (bi-directional amplifiers) and the outdoor network
• Real-world examples of effective interference mitigation through proactive testing and monitoring
