JEM Systems training programme focuses on public safety communications
JEM Systems has partnered with DAS University to deliver a training programme focused on Public Safety Distributed Antenna Systems and Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems for fire alarm integrators and low-voltage professionals.
JEM Systems stated that the programme combines theoretical instruction with practical training for professionals working with in-building communication systems used by emergency responders.
The training is intended for professionals involved in the design, installation and maintenance of Public Safety DAS and ERCES systems.
These systems are used to improve radio communication for emergency responders inside buildings where signal coverage may otherwise be limited.
The learning pathway combines classroom-based instruction with practical exercises and real-world scenarios.
Technical content and delivery structure
DAS University provides online training courses and certification programmes focused on Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and emergency communication technologies.
The programme includes technical modules on system architecture and components.
It also covers compliance requirements linked to NFPA 1225, the International Fire Code (IFC) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations.
Participants receive instruction on site surveys, link budget analysis and coverage testing procedures used to verify system performance.
Additional content addresses system commissioning, troubleshooting and coordination with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), including documentation for compliance and inspection.
Instructors and practical exercises
The training programme includes input from professionals with experience in the design, testing and deployment of DAS and ERCES systems.
Among those referenced in DAS University’s wider training programmes are Tom Warfield, Mike Brownson and David Adams, who have experience in compliance, systems integration and signal testing for communication infrastructure.
Instruction for the programme delivered through the partnership with JEM Systems is led by Nicolas Fornari and Jason Leopoldo, who the company describes as having field experience with ERCES system integration.
JEM Systems stated that the programme includes hands-on exercises using equipment and deployment scenarios intended to reflect installation and commissioning conditions.
The ERCES Master Integrator training programme is delivered through DAS University’s learning platform with live instruction provided through the partnership, and participants are offered an introductory access period before the full curriculum begins.
