CommsPack in Action: Case Study

"One day without communications can set you back 100 years in a response and recovery effort.

CommsFirst deployed to Grand Isle by helicopter within hours of Hurricane Gustav moving out of the area. The ability to have communications within hours of a major disaster was a once in a million event; It's never been done before."

- Aubrey Chaisson, Grand Isle Fire Chief and Gustav Incident Commander

Tactical Communications Backpacks: CommsPacks

Get Connected Anywhere with a Worldwide Satellite Broadband Network on Your Back


A self-contained and self-powering backpack with satellite, wireless, and radio-bridging capabilities, the CommsPack provides immediate communications for a small team in extreme first-mile environments where there may be no roads, power, or network.

Designed to support 6 to 10 people for rapid assessments, command and control, and far-forward incident and disaster processes, it can also be used as a concealed communications platform for the transmission of unmanned ground sensor data. Its redundant systems and satellite-based Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) ensure connectivity even in the most unpredictable settings.
