Public Safety DAS (ERCES) in Atlanta, Georgia
Advanced Network Services (ANS) provides turnkey Public Safety DAS (ERCES), or Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems, for Atlanta’s new construction and existing buildings.
We help contractors, developers, property owners, and facility managers coordinate coverage assessments, engineering, installation, testing, and AHJ requirements. Turnkey cellular DAS, Wi-Fi, and DAS monitoring through our 24/7 U.S.-based NOC support a complete approach to building connectivity.
Wireless Infrastructure for Atlanta’s Commercial and Urban Environment
Atlanta’s mix of office towers, high-rise residences, hotels, healthcare campuses, and mixed-use developments creates varied demands for in-building communications. In Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead, properties often combine workplaces, residences, retail, and parking. Across the metro area, logistics buildings and institutional campuses add different coverage challenges for emergency responders, occupants, staff, and visitors.
For project teams, the challenge is not simply whether a signal reaches the property. It is whether emergency responder radios perform throughout the required interior areas after walls, glazing, structural elements, and building systems are in place.
High-rise and mixed-use developments may require attention to stairwells, elevator lobbies, enclosed parking areas, and other required interior spaces. Concrete, steel, energy-efficient glazing, and fire-rated walls can weaken radio signals. Healthcare and education facilities require coordination around active operations, while hotels and event venues need both emergency communications and dependable everyday connectivity.
ANS helps Atlanta project teams evaluate these needs early and coordinate the appropriate solution. Our approach connects coverage assessment with design, construction sequencing, testing, and approval requirements. For existing buildings, we help identify coverage deficiencies and plan improvements around the property’s use. Cellular DAS and Wi-Fi services complement Public Safety DAS (ERCES) by addressing occupant, staff, and visitor connectivity.

Atlanta Fire Authority, Local Codes & Compliance
Local Authority (AHJ)
For properties within City of Atlanta jurisdiction, the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department’s Office of the Fire Marshal is a starting point for fire safety review and inspections. Surrounding cities and counties may have separate fire authorities, radio systems, and review procedures. Some properties also involve state review. An Atlanta mailing address alone does not establish the responsible authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
Georgia Requirements
Emergency responder radio coverage must be evaluated under Georgia’s applicable fire safety rules, adopted codes, and state amendments. ANS helps teams confirm the requirements that apply to the property, including local radio coverage criteria and required testing. The responsible authorities determine the applicable review and acceptance requirements.

ANS helps project teams establish the review path before committing to a system design. Our coordination includes:
- 01 Radio Systems Identifying the public safety radio systems that must be supported.
- 02 Coverage Needs Evaluating coverage needs.
- 03 Technical Criteria Addressing applicable technical criteria.
- 04 Licensee Consent Supporting required frequency-licenseholder consent.
- 05 Testing & Acceptance Preparing for testing and acceptance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the AHJ for a Public Safety DAS (ERCES) project in Atlanta?+
For properties within City of Atlanta jurisdiction, start with the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department’s Office of the Fire Marshal. Nearby cities, counties, and properties subject to state review may follow different processes. ANS helps identify the appropriate authorities and radio system requirements for your property.
Does a new Atlanta high-rise automatically need Public Safety DAS (ERCES)?+
An installation should not be assumed solely because a building is a high-rise. Applicable requirements, coverage testing, and AHJ review determine whether an enhancement system is needed.
When should we evaluate coverage for a Midtown or downtown mixed-use project?+
Start during design or preconstruction. Early planning helps reserve space and pathways for potential infrastructure, while testing must account for actual building conditions and the AHJ’s requirements.
Can ANS upgrade coverage in an occupied hotel or healthcare facility?+
Yes. ANS supports existing-building assessments and system improvements. Work is coordinated around access, building operations, and the project’s technical requirements.
Will cellular DAS or Wi-Fi replace Public Safety DAS (ERCES)?+
No. Cellular DAS and Wi-Fi support everyday connectivity. Public Safety DAS (ERCES) addresses emergency responder radio communications and has separate technical and approval requirements.
Can ANS monitor the DAS after installation?+
Yes. ANS provides DAS monitoring through its 24/7 U.S.-based NOC. Monitoring and support arrangements depend on the deployed system and applicable service agreement.
