VeriDAS Installed Sr. Living Community's Emergency Responder Radio Coverage System in Knox County Tennessee
The newly constructed 165,000 sq. ft. senior living community in Farragut, Tennessee (near Nashville) in Knox County required an IFC 510 compliant Emergency Responder Radio Coverage System (ERRCS) - also called a Public Safety Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). VeriDAS Technologies was selected to design, engineer, install and certify the code-required in-building signal booster system to extend, amplify and optimize the Tennessee Advanced Communications Network (TACN) public safety radio system inside the new facility.
The Villages of Farragut built a beautiful, new 165,000 square foot senior living community near Nashville, Tennessee in Knox County.
