DISASTER RESPONSE / RESILIENT COMMS
FIELD PROVEN · [ HURRICANE HELENE · NC ]

Disaster communications that survive the disaster.

When cell towers fail and the grid goes dark, response doesn't stop — but coordination does. ARC Edge is a deployable communications layer with no single point of failure: it aggregates every surviving path into one resilient network and puts your teams back online in minutes.

02The Problem EVERY MAJOR DISASTER · SAME FAILURE

The first thing
a disaster takes out
is the ability
to respond to it.

Hurricanes, wildfires, and floods don't just destroy homes — they destroy the cell towers, fiber, and power that emergency communications depend on. Command posts lose contact with field teams. Mutual-aid agencies can't share a common picture. Satellite phones connect one voice at a time while the operation needs video, data, and telemetry. The hours when coordination matters most are exactly the hours the network isn't there.

03The AnswerARC EDGE · DEPLOYABLE COMMS LAYER
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS THAT HOLD

A network that treats failure as a starting condition.

ARC Edge doesn't depend on the infrastructure a disaster destroys. It aggregates whatever survives — remaining cell coverage, satellite, Wi-Fi-as-WAN, wired uplink — and steers every call, video feed, and data flow across the best paths, every second.

01/ Connectivity

Every Surviving Path, One Network

Cellular, satellite, Wi-Fi-as-WAN, and wired uplink are unified into one resilient network with no single point of failure. When one path degrades, traffic moves before the loss is felt.

The call doesn't drop. The video stays live. The operation stays coordinated.

02/ Speed

Online in Minutes, Not Days

ARC Edge is a field kit, not an installation project. Power it, and it discovers and aggregates whatever connectivity survived the event — no tower builds, no truck rolls, no waiting on carriers.

Comms restored while the response is still forming up.

03/ Awareness

One Picture, Every Agency

Telemetry, sensor feeds, drone video, and field operations flow into one shared, real-time operational picture — across teams, agencies, and jurisdictions working the same event.

Everyone sees the same thing. Decisions get faster.

04Who It's ForBUILT FOR THE RESPONSE COMMUNITY

Built for the people who run toward it.

AEmergency Management

  • Keep the EOC connected to every field team when public networks are down or saturated
  • A common operational picture across county, state, and federal partners
  • Deployable ahead of landfall — staged, powered, and live in minutes

BFirst Responders & SAR

  • Voice, video, and location data that hold through the incident, not just around it
  • Carries ATAK feeds, drone video, and telemetry without changing how teams work
  • Mutual-aid interoperability — agencies join the network, not a new workflow

CUtilities & Relief Operations

  • Restoration crews coordinated across areas where coverage no longer exists
  • Relief logistics — supply, shelter, medical — running on one resilient link
  • Grid and infrastructure telemetry back online before the infrastructure is
05QuestionsDISASTER COMMS · ANSWERED

Asked by every agency we talk to.

What is a disaster communications system?

A disaster communications system keeps response teams connected when normal infrastructure — cell towers, fiber, power — is damaged or overloaded. ARC Edge does this by aggregating every available path (cellular, satellite, Wi-Fi-as-WAN, and wired uplink) into one resilient network with no single point of failure, so voice, video, and data stay live through the event.

How is ARC Edge different from satellite phones?

Satellite phones connect one person over one path. ARC Edge connects your whole operation — command posts, field teams, drones, and sensors — over every path at once, steering traffic to the best link every second. If one path degrades, traffic moves before the loss is felt. Satellite is one of its links, not its limit.

How fast can it be deployed after a disaster?

Minutes. ARC Edge is a field kit, not an installation project: power it, and it discovers and aggregates whatever connectivity survives — remaining cell coverage, satellite, point-to-point links — into a working network for your teams.

Does it work with our existing radios, ATAK, and incident management tools?

Yes. ARC Edge is application-aware and transport-agnostic: it carries your existing tools — ATAK feeds, VoIP, video, telemetry, incident management software — without changing how your teams work. It makes the network resilient underneath what you already use.
