150+ deployable network assets
Public safety agencies have access to a nationwide, dedicated fleet of over 150+ land-based and airborne portable cell sites. They don't rely on commercial power and connect to FirstNet via satellite. These include: -
Communications Vehicles (CVs)
In addition to providing connectivity via LTE and/or Wi-Fi, CVs provide an air-conditioned command space for 2 first responder personnel, multiple monitors, charging stations, a large exterior screen and speakers for briefings and so much more. -
Flying COWs
The 3 Flying COWs™ are able to reach heights of up to 400 feet, making them ideal for situations like wildfires and mountain rescue missions where the terrain may have previously made it difficult to maintain connectivity.
All at no additional charge. Public safety agencies on FirstNet can request the equipment for added support during disasters. The deployable network assets are designed to keep FirstNet subscribers connected to the information they need, no matter where their mission takes them – allowing first responders to make rescues, communicate and coordinate their emergency response, or aid in recovery, even in the hardest hit areas or most remote parts of the country.
