The NOTIFIER Addressable Channelized Digital Class A and Class B BDAs are Digital signal boosters for In-Building 2-way Emergency Radio Communication Enhancement with built-in NOTIFIER Fire Alarm Panel Addressable Monitor Module.

NOTIFIER Channelized Digital Class A and Class B BDAs are high gain, high power channel selective (Class A) or band-selective (Class B) signal boosters/bi- directional amplifiers that can be designed and customized to meet all public safety frequency band ranges in ERCES applications. It is intended to provide reliable two-way radio signal coverage inside buildings, tunnels and other structures. The state-of-the-art DSP-based filter design combined with our industry leading band-pass duplexer filters deliver a reliable performance in even the most challenging RF environments. The product delivers high RF power with 5W rated amplifiers while maintaining the industry leading power efficiency and reliability.

The state-of-the-art design delivers superior reliability and excellent performance in a small, lightweight, and economical package. The all inclusive design includes NFPA, IFC and UL® compliant supervisory interfaces, AC power supply, Battery Charger and Dedicated Annunciator Panel, NOTIFIER Channel and Band Selective, DSP Programmable Class A, Class B BDAs and power supplies.

The DSP Programmable Class A, Class B BDAs and power supplies are designed to meet and exceed the published UL2524 2nd Edition standard requirements (UL2524 2nd Edition listing pending) for In-building 2-Way Emergency Radio Communication Enhancement Systems,NFPA and IBC/IFC standards compliance-making it the best choice for public safety and other mission critical applications.
