Code-Driven ERCES & DAS Delivery

IFC 510 NFPA 1221 AFRD Coordination

Every Georgia AHJ — from City of Atlanta Fire Rescue and the major Metro counties (DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Fulton) to coastal and South Georgia jurisdictions (Chatham/Savannah, Bibb/Macon, Muscogee/Columbus, Richmond/Augusta) — actively enforces ERCES coverage during CO, with grid tests, P25 compliance, and annual recertification. We manage the entire workflow—from RF surveys and design packages to commissioning, acceptance testing, and maintenance contracts statewide.

RF surveys, 20-grid/40-grid testing, DAS vs. BDA feasibility
Passive & active DAS design-build, P25 Class A/B BDAs
Fire alarm integration, annunciators, battery calculations
Annual inspections, remote monitoring, AHJ documentation

Integrated Low Voltage & Security

From Midtown Atlanta towers to Savannah port logistics, Augusta cyber and medical campuses, Macon distribution hubs, and Columbus aviation, we deliver structured cabling, access control, CCTV, AV, and managed IT scopes aligned with Georgia's rapid growth in office, healthcare, higher-ed, data center, and logistics projects.

Cat6/Cat6A & fiber backbones, MDF/IDF buildouts, OTDR testing
Badge + cloud access for corporate campuses and multi-site portfolios
CCTV, VMS, and remote SOC integration across Class A properties
Conference room AV, hybrid meeting suites, video walls, command centers
Managed WiFi & switching for aviation, higher-ed, and distribution space

P25 Phase II in Georgia: Multiple regional P25 + SouthernLinc LTE backup

Georgia has no single statewide P25 system — enforcement lives at the AHJ. The 2018 IFC went into effect statewide on January 1, 2025, and Atlanta Fire Rescue and the metro fire marshals enforce ERCES at certificate of occupancy. JB Technologies is HQ'd in Dallas, GA — we hold every license, pull permits in our name, and have working relationships with every metro AHJ. Note for procurement and code documents: ERCES and ERRCS (Emergency Responder Radio Communication System) refer to the same in-building public-safety radio enhancement system. ERCES is the term used by the 2025 NFPA 1225 standard and most current model-code references; ERRCS is the legacy term still used in many AHJ contractor packets, procurement specs, and existing-building documentation. JBT works to whichever term your AHJ uses.

What is Georgia's state P25 system?

Georgia does not have a single unified statewide P25 system. The Georgia State Patrol moved to SouthernLinc LTE with VHF P25 as a backup in May 2024. ERCES enforcement is per-AHJ — Atlanta Fire Rescue, county fire marshals, and the metro AHJs all enforce IFC 510 / NFPA 1225 at certificate of occupancy.

What changed on Jan 1, 2025 in Georgia?

Georgia adopted the 2018 IFC effective January 1, 2025. That formalizes ERCES requirements for new construction and major renovations under the State Minimum Fire Code. Atlanta Fire Rescue's 510 Requirements document already enforces this in metro Atlanta.

Do you work with Atlanta Fire Rescue?

Yes — we work the AFR Office of the Fire Marshal's 510 Requirements document at design time, not at witness time. We have current ERCES projects across Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Hall, and Forsyth counties.

Where is JB Technologies based?

Our HQ is in Dallas, GA (Paulding County). We pull permits in our name, hold the GA low-voltage license, and have working relationships with the metro Atlanta and North Georgia AHJs.

ERCES System Installation in Athens, GA

JB Technologies installs ERCES (Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems) across Athens-Clarke County under the same IFC 510 / NFPA 1225 expectations that govern the rest of Georgia. Since Georgia adopted the 2018 IFC effective January 1, 2025, Athens-Clarke County Fire & Emergency Services enforces public-safety radio coverage at certificate of occupancy on new construction and substantial renovations — UGA campus buildings, Piedmont Athens Regional and St. Mary's healthcare expansions, downtown mixed-use developments, and the new commercial blocks along Atlanta Highway and Lexington Road.

Athens sits on the same regional P25 + SouthernLinc LTE backbone described above. Our scope for an Athens ERCES project includes the donor survey on the strongest local public-safety signal, BDA / fiber DAS design sized to the building's structure, AHJ-coordinated grid testing (95% critical / 90% general per NFPA 1225), and the inspection-ready submittal package Athens-Clarke County FES expects at CO. We pull our own GA low-voltage license, hold the FCC licensing where applicable, and coordinate directly with the Athens-Clarke County Fire Marshal's office on signal-booster filings.

If you're a GC, developer, or owner planning an Athens project, we can do a code-compliance gap review on existing drawings before bid and a design-build proposal if the radio scope is still open. Phone 770.637.2094 or request a walk-through.

Who enforces ERCES in Athens, GA?

Athens-Clarke County Fire & Emergency Services (the unified Athens-Clarke County government fire marshal's office) enforces ERCES at certificate of occupancy. They reference the 2018 IFC Section 510 and NFPA 1225 — the same baseline used across Georgia after the state's January 1, 2025 code adoption. JBT submits the signal-booster package and coordinates witness testing directly with the Athens-Clarke County Fire Marshal.

Do UGA and Piedmont Athens Regional projects need ERCES?

Yes — University of Georgia campus buildings and Piedmont Athens Regional / St. Mary's Health expansions fall under the same IFC 510 / NFPA 1225 grid-coverage requirement as any other commercial occupancy in Athens-Clarke County. Healthcare and higher-ed projects have additional radio-coverage sensitivity (inside corridors, basements, MRI shielded rooms, ICU floors) that drives BDA sizing and antenna count. Our healthcare and high-rise ERCES templates fit these projects directly.

How fast can JBT mobilize an Athens ERCES walk-through?

Athens is roughly 90 minutes from our Dallas, GA HQ. We typically schedule a donor-signal walk and on-site grid test inside one week of project award and deliver a stamped design package within 2-3 weeks depending on building size. AHJ pre-submittal review with Athens-Clarke County FES typically lands a week after that.
