CHANNELIZED DIGITAL CLASS A AND CLASS B BDA
BDA
Bi-Directional Amplifier System
GENERAL
Honeywell offers all of the following components required for the design and installation of
the Emergency Radio Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCES):
SIGNAL BOOSTERS/BI-DIRECTIONAL AMPLIFIERS (BDA)
Honeywell 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 simultaneously, maintaining the industry
leading, power efficiency and reliability.
The innovative design delivers superior reliability and excellent performance in a small,
lightweight, and economical package. The inclusive design includes the following features:
The DSP programmable Class A, Class B BDAs and power supplies are designed to meet and
exceed the published UL 2524 2nd Edition standard requirements (UL 2524 2nd Edition
listing pending) for In-building 2-Way Emergency Radio Communication Enhancement
Systems, NFPA and IBC/IFC standards compliance.
