FRESCO: First Rescue Component
Netline’s FRESCO Independent Mobile Cellular Base Station is designed to maintain critical communications during emergency / crisis management scenarios / natural disasters such as earthquakes, avalanches and landslides, floods, tsunamis, and major storms when the mobile network may be impaired, overloaded or destroyed and communications between rescue teams, distressed individuals or groups must be enabled. The FRESCO enables a rapidly deployed private, secure GSM network at any location based on operational needs.
Mounted on a backpack harness this ruggedized, stand-alone and compact cellular base station system is ideal for use by disaster relief personnel and first responders to enable mobile communications in hard to access areas. The FRESCO can be deployed and made available for live communication within five minutes, at the touch of a switch.
FRESCO can be deployed for temporary cellular service in places where macro network services do not reach. The FRESCO network can also relay communications to the core network.
FRESCO enables geo-location by capturing GPS information from supported hand-sets and by distance approximation.
FRESCO can be mounted in vehicles and helicopters to support multiple modes of operation and operational scenarios.
