Tennessee Data Center Gets Emergency Responder Radio Coverage System to Boost Public Safety Radio Communication

A new Google Tennessee data center in Clarksville, Montgomery County needed a fire code compliant Emergency Responder Radio Coverage System (ERRCS) - also called a Public Safety Distributed Antenna Systems (PS-DAS) or First Responder Radio Coverage System to amplify in-building signal strength and coverage. VeriDAS Technologies was selected to design & install the code-required (bi-directional amplifier) BDA signal enhancement system to extend, amplify and optimize the public safety radio system frequencies inside the new mission critical data center building.

Baseline RF (radio frequency) signal coverage testing demonstrated the newly constructed Google Tennessee data center building in Clarksville, Montgomery County needed an Emergency Responder Radio Coverage System (ERRCS) installed to allow first responders’ radios to operate inside the server dense building. VeriDAS Technologies worked closely with the AHJ/ Fire Marshal and public safety radio system administrator to design a signal amplification solution that would meet fire code requirements, the General Contractor’s construction timeline and Google’s grand opening deadline. Thanks to impressive coordination and support from the team, VeriDAS was able to quickly design, install and certify the IFC 510 compliant ERRCS. The new mission critical data center building was able to complete construction and begin operations without delay.
