Hospitals fail public-safety radio coverage in characteristic ways — Low-E glass retrofits, shielded radiology suites, and complex wing geometry — and the AHJ doesn't care that you didn't see it coming.
The problem we see
- Public-safety radio (ERRCS / NFPA 72 / IFC §510) is not optional, and the AHJ's interpretation may not match the generic spec sheet.
- Clinical environments have strict change-control. You don't get to rip walls open to fix the network after the fact.
- Patient experience and clinician workflows depend on cellular and Wi-Fi reliability in equal measure.
How we approach it
- We engage the AHJ before design, not after, and document their interpretation in writing.
- We design DAS and Wi-Fi together — they share metal, conduit, and electrical capacity whether or not the design pretends otherwise.
- We schedule and stage work to align with clinical operations: we are not asking you to close a unit so we can ladder.

Have a coverage problem you can describe — but not yet solve?
Request a wireless assessment. An engineer (not a sales rep) will walk through what you're seeing and propose what we'd actually do.
