In this episode of DAS Talk, Peter and Gil Martinez sit down with Jeremy Shkapich to discuss the importance of emergency responder communication systems, AHJ education, code enforcement, and the future of in-building radio coverage. Jeremy shares his experience as a former AHJ and fire investigator, explaining why reliable radio communication inside buildings is not just a technical issue—it is a life safety issue. The conversation covers IFC, NFPA 1225, NFPA 1, NFPA 72, FCC license holders, jurisdictional differences, system inspections, survivability, and the growing need for education across the industry. They also discuss the impact of code freezes, including recent concerns around Indiana, and why delaying or weakening code adoption can create serious risks for first responders and the public.
