Key Features
Rapid Deployment Solutions (RDS) - when continuous communication is critical, Sprint's RDS can keep your operations running with 24/7 support. Utilizing SatCOLTs and IP assets, we can quickly restore cellular and IP-based communications, and provide temporary phones for immediate communications, situational awareness and location-based services.
SatCOLTs - when you need to set up mobile offices, even in remote or dangerous environments, we can deploy SatCOLTs to instantly relay vital information over the secure Nationwide Sprint Network.
ERT Go-Kits - as its name implies, ERT Go-Kits provide a cache of Sprint phones, Mobile Broadband Cards and critical accessories that can be kept in strategic locations, and activated quickly during emergencies, preparedness drills or pre-planned events. Simply purchase them at an allowable contract price and pay only for what you use.
Phone Rentals - when you need additional phones during disasters, pre-planned events or field training exercises, the ERT has an inventory of over 25,000 phones available for short-term rental.
