Trevor Mathews, Wireless Manager, Cosco Fire Protection
Trevor Mathews is the Wireless Division Manager at Cosco Fire Protection, Inc., where he provides strategic leadership for the company’s emergency responder radio coverage systems (ERRCS) and in-building wireless initiatives. In this role, Trevor is responsible for setting technical direction, establishing best practices, and guiding multidisciplinary teams through the design, deployment, and acceptance of mission-critical wireless life safety systems.
Trevor is a strong advocate for improving the consistency, reliability, and long-term performance of ERRCS deployments. He works closely with engineers, contractors, manufacturers, and authorities having jurisdiction to help interpret evolving codes and standards and translate them into practical, enforceable design and commissioning approaches. His leadership emphasizes system resiliency, inspection readiness, and alignment between regulatory intent and real-world operational conditions.
Beyond individual projects, Trevor focuses on advancing the ERRCS industry as a whole—promoting clearer standards, better stakeholder coordination, and increased awareness of how in-building wireless systems support first responder safety and emergency operations. His approach blends strategic oversight with deep field experience, enabling him to bridge the gap between policy, engineering design, and on-site execution. He brings a collaborative, forward-looking perspective to discussions around life safety communications, wireless infrastructure, and the future of compliant, high-performance ERRCS systems.
