Farmington Hills, Mich. (PRWEB) September 28, 2016 -- RF Connect, a national leader of enterprise wireless solutions, today announced that Executive Vice President Jeff Hipchen has been elected Board President of the Safer Buildings Coalition.
The Safer Buildings Coalition’s primary mission is to ensure that First Responders (Fire, Law Enforcement and EMS) can use state-of-the-art voice and data communications with one another inside buildings as well as to and from their Command Centers outside buildings during emergency events. The organization works with stakeholders to propose changes to model fire codes produced by the International Code Council (ICC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). It also drafts model ordinances that may be used by Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) to improve in-building communications.
