IWCE2025: ADRF Launches UL 2524 Certified Public Safety Remote Units for its ADXV Series DAS

Now Fully Supports The Most Rigorous Standards for First Responder Communication on All Public Safety Frequency Bands

Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. (ADRF), the largest pure-play distributed antenna system (DAS) and repeater provider for 25 years, today announced two new remote units (RU) for its flagship ADXV Series DAS, certified to UL 2524, the Standard for in-building two-way emergency radio communication enhancement systems (ERCES). The solutions will debut at the International Wireless Communication Expo (IWCE) in Las Vegas, NV from March 17-20, 2025 at booth #1139.

The ADXV-R-25VU-U2 offers dual-band support for VHF/UHF frequency bands and includes space for either one multiplexer or two band-pass filters within the unit. This design eliminates the need for third-party enclosures, streamlining installation and reducing total cost of ownership. The ADXV-R-3378P-U2 offers dual-band support for PS 700/800 bands and allows users to disable unused bands to minimize unwanted noise. ADRF is also introducing the enhanced point of interface card, ADXV-H-POIL-78P-U2, designed to support the new 700/800 MHz remote units.

The UL 2524 establishes the most stringent standards to ensure reliable communication for emergency responders within and around commercial buildings. It applies to various equipment, including repeaters, transmitters, receivers, signal boosters, remote annunciators, operational consoles, power supply, and battery charging system components. These products are designed for use in compliance with key Model Building and Installation Codes, such as NFPA 1/72/1221/1225, the International Fire Code (IFC) 2015/2018/2021, and FirstNet.

“We are thrilled to round out our UL 2524 public safety offerings with these new remote units for our flagship ADXV Series DAS,” said Sun Kim, director of engineering at ADRF. “As a public safety communications leader for over a quarter century, we are dedicated to providing the most effective solutions to ensure first responders maintain seamless connectivity throughout every area of a building, safeguarding tenants and occupants during emergencies.”

The ADXV-R-25VU-U2 includes:
Support of 138-174MHz and 380-512 MHz frequencies
25 dBm Composite Output Power
Detachable AC/BATT/ANN/AAI wiring terminal blocks for easy installation
Support of up to 2 ADRF-BPF-V/U-1 Bandpass Filters or 1 ADRF-MPLX-V/U multiplexer
Programmable 3-pin AAI alarm which can be physically cabled as NO or NC
An optional 47K Ohm end-of-line resistor board cartridge

The ADXV-R-3378P-U2 includes:
Support of 758-775 MHz and 851-869 MHz
Support of Canadian public safety frequencies (768 - 776 MHz and 851-869 MHz)
33 dBm Composite Output Power
Detachable AC/BATT/ANN/AAI wiring terminal blocks for easy installation
Separate 700/800 MHz downlink (DL) amplifiers to prevent noise from the unused band
Programmable 3-pin AAI alarm which can be physically cabled as NO or NC
An optional 47K Ohm end-of-line resistor board cartridge

Additionally, ADRF will debut the new version of its long-range annunciator, the PSR-ANN-U2, for its public safety repeaters, capable of extending the range of visual and audible alarms up to 1,000 feet to allow for more network design flexibility. It also can act as a bridge between the repeater and the fire alarm control panel (FACP) by offering full programmable dry contact outputs to an FACP for enhanced system monitoring and reliability.
