Marconi Technologies details how its ARCS NYC installations meet FDNY emergency communication standards for high-rise buildings across the city.
-- NEW YORK, NY — Marconi Technologies, a manufacturer of in-building emergency communication systems, is outlining how its ARCS NYC installations are engineered to meet Fire Department of New York, or FDNY, communication requirements for high-rise buildings. The Auxiliary Radio Communication System, known as ARCS, is a locally mandated alternative to standard signal amplification systems used in most other jurisdictions, and is required in many New York City structures to help first responders maintain radio contact during emergencies. The company said the announcement reflects continued deployment of ARCS equipment across commercial and residential towers throughout the five boroughs.
Dense urban construction, including steel-frame and reinforced concrete high-rises, can interfere with radio signal penetration, a longstanding challenge for fire departments operating in large cities. New York City addressed this through FDNY-specific code requirements that differ from national standards applied in most other municipalities. Industry guidance from the National Fire Protection Association has recognized in-building emergency responder communication coverage as a growing life-safety priority nationwide, underscoring why cities including New York have adopted their own enhanced requirements for high-rise construction.
ARCS installations from Marconi Technologies are designed to establish dedicated communication channels for first responders separate from conventional bi-directional amplifier systems used elsewhere in the country. The company manufactures several ARCS models, including units equipped with active antenna monitoring intended to provide continuous verification of system function, a feature the company says supports ongoing compliance during building inspections. Products in the ARCS line are also built to accommodate multi-channel radio configurations used by FDNY personnel during incident response.
Marconi Technologies said its ARCS systems are engineered and manufactured domestically, with design work intended to align with FDNY testing and commissioning procedures required before a system can be approved for use in an occupied building. The company also provides antenna propagation studies, as-built documentation, and on-site commissioning support as part of the installation process for property owners and fire safety personnel navigating local code requirements. These services are intended to help buildings complete FDNY review without extended delays.
“High-rise buildings in New York City operate under communication requirements that are distinct from most of the country, and ARCS NYC systems are built specifically around those requirements,” said Zvi Greenspan, Owner of Marconi Technologies. “Our focus is making sure building owners and fire safety officers have equipment that performs reliably when it is needed during an emergency.”
