SUMMARY:Westell Hands-on Certification: Houston
DESCRIPTION:Connecting a Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) to AC power and antennas does not guarantee a successful Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement System (ERCES) installation. This class will cover the following topics: International Fire Code (IFC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes that jurisdictions may require\, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules governing BDAs\, antenna verification\, uplink optimization for signals and noise\, the importance of a test transmitter and a spectrum analyzer\, alarming\, BDA programming\, grid testing\, and more.  \nThe certificate issued will hold more value than just a piece of paper; a hands-on exercise and a written test must be passed to earn this certificate.
