Not in the Boxes
Satellite Phone
Limited windows of service and too many restrictions due to the satellite orbits.Police Radio (or Scanner)Most of your average users wouldn’t understand the majority of the radio traffic.Generator
If there is no power at the site, it doesn’t make sense to use that site as an EOC. Storage and fuel also are an issue.
MacBooks
Are Optional
We chose to include MacBooks
as an alternative Operating System in the event of a malicious software attack.
