ENABLING EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS INDOORS Being able to communicate with public safety two-way radio systems in buildings is crucial for first responders to execute time-sensitive and mission-critical tasks to protect the public. Emergency Responder Communications Enhancement Systems (ERCES) are often installed to provide these necessary means of communication. Avari Wireless's public safety digital Distributed Antenna System (DAS), known as the Avari VL™ Series, provides a reliable, high-performance, and high availability system designed to support both current and future public safety communication requirements. 8618 COMMERCE COURT BURNABY BC, V5A 4N6 CANADA 40 CAVERSHAM ROAD READING, BERKSHIRE RG1 7EB UK

Reliability is Critical First responders require seamless radio coverage at all times and cannot afford to experience disruptions in communications for any reason. Staying connected at all times is a baseline requirement for an Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement System (ERCES). According to the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council, a public safety grade communication network is recommended to have 99.999% availability which corresponds to a maximum of 5.26 minutes of downtime per year. Although redundancy is not always a mandatory requirement, it is one factor to be considered...

VL™ Fault-Tolerant System The Avari Wireless VL™ Digital Distributed Antenna System (DAS) provides a software-enabled fault-tolerant architecture with headend redundancy and failover function. The Avari fault-tolerant solution offers varying degrees of equipment redundancy and coverage protection that can be tailored to the customers’ specific needs and budgets. The solution ranges from providing redundant modules within the same equipment to having fully redundant headend equipment and eventually fully redundant remote units and passive antennae. The partial redundancy approach described below...

Intelligent Element Manager The Avari VL™ Element Manager (VL-EM™) is an intelligent controller that centralizes, streamlines and automates the management and control of the Avari digital public safety distributed antenna system. It offers a user-friendly graphical interface for administrators and normal operators to perform their operations and maintenance tasks. The VL-EM™ continuously monitors the operating condition of the digital DAS network and reports alarms in real-time when faults are detected. It does not only provide basic failover capabilities when headend equipment fails or fiber...
