During an emergency, specially provided Emergency Radios will allow a person to communicate with either the normal Building Radio System or the Emergency Traffic Radio System. When either the Building Radio System or the Emergency Traffic Radio System receives a signal from any of the Emergency portables, it will forward the signal wirelessly to the Emergency Interface, which will then send the signal out over a Private Only Radio Frequency. In the receiving building, the signal is received by the Emergency Interface and then sent wirelessly to either the In-Building Radio System or the Emergency Traffic Radio System, and then to the emergency portables in the building. Please note that this is a two way system in that any building in the system can receive and transmit to any other building within the System.
