Webinar Replay: Requirements for Uplink Testing

In this webinar, we will cover the key factors driving uplink testing requirements for in-building Emergency Responder Coverage Enhancement Systems (ERCES), including FCC regulations, the Radio System requirements, and fire codes.

Uplink testing plays a crucial role during BDA system commissioning, in-building coverage testing, and even during ongoing monitoring of BDAs to prevent interference on the outdoor public safety network.

Topics will include:

• The value of measuring Signal Quality vs. Signal Power
• Tradeoffs of manual voice tests vs. test equipment
• FCC regulations affecting the tests and the role of the FCC Licensee
• Radio System Performance and the role of the Radio System
• Problems that occur when proper uplink testing is not performed

You’ll come away with a better understanding of how to meet, design, or enforce uplink testing requirements that ensure reliable communications coverage for First Responders, indoors and out.
