Comba conforms to UL 2524 Standards meeting the requirements for today’s public safety 2-way emergency radio communications enhancement systems

(1 June 2020 – Milpitas, CA) – Comba Telecom, Inc. (Subsidiary of Comba Telecom System Holdings LTD.), a global leading wireless solutions provider, today announced that their Public Safety UHF Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) product line has been certified to meet the UL 2524 standard for In-building 2-Way Emergency Radio Communications Enhancement Systems.

Comba worked with SGS Lab’s North America Division, who is currently the only NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Lab) certified by OSHA to test to the UL 2524 standards.  The UL 2524 standards address the safety, reliability, and operational requirements of ERRCS (Emergency Responder Radio Communications System) equipment prior to installation. Additionally Comba’s UHF BDAs were tested together with Comba’s already UL 2524 standards certified BBUs (Battery Backup Unit) to be shown as tested as a system; meaning system integrators and AHJs can rest assured that when Comba’s units are installed in the field together they fully meet and comply with the UL 2524 standard.

The UL 2524 standard covers products including repeater, transmitter, receiver, signal booster components, remote annunciators and operational consoles, power supply, and battery charging system components to be employed in accordance with the following Model Building and Installation Codes:

  • The Standard for the Installation, Maintenance, and Use of Emergency Services Communication Systems, NFPA 1221
  • National Electrical Code, NFPA 70
  • Fire Code, NFPA 1
  • Life Safety Code, NFPA 101
  • International Fire Code (IFC)

“The UL 2524 Standard is quickly becoming required in many jurisdictions around the Country and we are excited to offer our UHF BDA UL 2524 Standards certified product as a solution for those jurisdictions that require this certification ,” says Don Henry, Comba Telecom’s VP of Sales and Public Safety Program Manager.
