2025 UEN Tech Summit

HB84 requires ERCES and Silent Panic Alarms. We will address strategies for making connectivity reliable and viable.

HB84 requires ERCES (Public Safety Radio Coverage) and Silent Panic Alarms (Alyssa's Law). There is also a need to enable 911 calls. This session will address ERCES (Public Safety Radio DAS), leveraging and improving existing Wi-Fi networks for cell over Wi-Fi and silent panic alarms. Both networks are now life-safety systems. This makes both networks life safety systems, expanding requirements. Considerations and strategies for meeting these new network requirements with input from solution providers and schools that are meeting the need.
