DCSD Strengthens Emergency Communication Across Schools

The Douglas County School District (DCSD) needed better in-building radio signal coverage to meet safety standards and support first responder communication.

The Castle Rock Microwave team partnered with DCSD and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office to install a customized BDA/DAS system, improving coverage across multiple schools.

Key Results:

• Provided 95% or greater coverage of first responder radio signal within some DCSD elementary, middle, high, and charter schools.
• Increased reliable communication throughout school campuses.
• Peace of mind for school security, First Responders, and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office radio team.
