Services
Radio networks, emergency phones and logistics support for relief organizations and public safety agencies when normal communications fail.
Radio systems
When cell towers fail, we set up wide-area radio networks from high ground. We provide the backbone and the handheld radios for first responders, VOADs and coordination centers.
Each setup is sized to the incident, from a single shelter to a wider area, and can connect to our regional network so teams can reach partners outside the affected area.
Emergency phones
When phone lines and cell service are down, we set up satellite and internet phone banks at shelters and command posts.
They give staff, volunteers and the people they serve a way to make welfare calls, coordinate logistics and run hotlines until regular service is back.

Logistics
Communications equipment only helps if it gets where it's needed. Our logistics team moves radios, phone kits, power equipment and critical supplies to the sites that need them.
Once an operation is running, we keep field teams supplied and help the organizations we support get equipment and supplies in place.

For agencies
During a surge, we add radio caches, trained operators and links between radio systems to your response.
Our members are trained in NIMS and ICS and work within your command structure, so they add capacity without adding confusion.
