You Can Get Better Signals in Buildings Without Standing Next to a Window

SSI webinar highlights public safety communications techniques that will ensure people can call for help when they need it.
Published: October 23, 2023

There’s been an imperative lately to improve the signaling for cellular phones and public safety radio communications in buildings. Often in certain areas of large buildings, cell phones do not work, nor do public safety radios.

In a worst-case scenario, that means people can’t use their phones to call for help. That also means that police officers responding to calls in some schools, or firefighters in a stairwell of a commercial building, can’t communicate via their hand-held radios.

There are signal-boosting solutions available and an SSI webinar scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 26 at 2 p.m. will run through many of the latest and greatest offering.

Join Charlie Schulz, engineer for in-building communications at Alliance Corporation, on “How to Get Better Signals in Buildings Without Standing Next to a Window!” to learn:
