FIRST RESPONDERS

Mobile Tactical Edge Network
Communications on the Move • Fly Away Kit

The Need:
A disaster can strike anytime, anywhere. Regardless of the type of disaster, Emergency First Responders are on the frontline saving lives and restoring order. These dedicated men and women are the first ones in a disaster zone and their hard work is the difference between life and death. The key to saving lives is communication. Time and again, Emergency responders must not only handle the situation at hand, but they must coordinate and communicate their efforts as well. Typically, they are overwhelmed with environmental conditions that have destroyed their ability to communicate with field personnel and State and Local authorities.

The Solution:
In the event of a disaster, each Emergency First Response Team deploys with one pTerex 7-Series product solution mounted or placed within one or more of their transport vehicles. The pTerex 7-Series is a high-performance platform designed to support multiple applications running concurrently over wired and wireless networks. The pTerex 7-Series offers seamless mobility across a wide range of network interfaces including 3G cellular, Wi-Fi, satellite, Ethernet and serial. A Single pTerex X7 provides every member of the emergency response with continuity of connectivity to each other and to the installed Home network. They have access to the same services as if at their desk through remote access to classified and unclassified LAN enclaves for services such as web, email, Video Teleconferencing (VTC), and voice over ip (VOIP). The pTerex X7 transparently switches between the available WAN connections as necessary based on priority and availability. This not only keeps the response team connected but also keeps their established session active as well.

What do our Customers say?
When pTerex participated in the International Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID) exercise, our customers had plenty to say:

“Excellent piece of equipment for emergency response situations.”
“Excellent, I would recommend to high level first responders who need instant access from various sites.”
“pTerex was 100% operational. It would be an asset to unit response to incidents.”

At CWID, warfighters and first responders agreed, “pTerex provided the ability to establish communications immediately in a natural disaster or in cases of attack on a city and also enhanced mission operations.” pTerex supported multiple locations at the CWID exercises including: USNORTHCOM, NSWC Dahlgren, EUCOM, SEAHAWK, West Virginia National Guard and the South Carolina National Guard. Since that time, pTerex has been fielded by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, MARFORPAC, NORTHCOM, CANSOFCOM, and many other customers. When communications are a matter of life or death, you require the best solution available for communications. pTerex is here..
