Field Proven at Helene
ARC Edge deployed at Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, keeping response operations connected through widespread tower, fiber, and power loss.
Not a spec sheet claim — a deployment record.
At Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, ARC Edge kept hurricane communications live through widespread tower, fiber, and power loss — staged before landfall, online through the response. It aggregates every surviving path into one network with no single point of failure, because after landfall you can't assume any single system survives.
A major hurricane doesn't degrade the network — it removes it: towers down across counties, fiber cut, the grid dark for weeks. Every hurricane plan budgets for the same first hours of silence — EOCs blind to the field, utility crews out of contact, relief convoys navigating on paper. Helene made the point again in North Carolina: the damage was measured in weeks, but the coordination gap opened in the first hour.
ARC Edge is a field kit: pre-position it with your teams ahead of the storm, power it after the eye passes, and it discovers and aggregates whatever connectivity survived — remaining cell coverage, satellite, Wi-Fi-as-WAN, wired uplink — into one working network in minutes.

Not a spec sheet claim — a deployment record.
Kits stage with EOCs and field teams while the storm is still offshore. When it passes, power them on — no tower builds, no truck rolls, no waiting on carrier damage assessments.
Comms up in minutes, while the response is still forming.
Hurricane response runs for weeks. ARC Edge holds 99.97% session uptime across 5+ aggregated paths and carries VoIP, video, telemetry, and incident-management tools unchanged as infrastructure slowly returns.
The network outlasts the outage.
After landfall, towers, fiber, and power are down across the impact zone — that's the expected condition, not the surprise. ARC Edge builds hurricane communications from whatever survives: it aggregates every available path (multi-carrier cellular, satellite, Wi-Fi-as-WAN, wired uplink) into one resilient network with no single point of failure, so response doesn't wait on any single system coming back.
Yes — that's the intended playbook. Kits pre-position with your EOC and field teams ahead of the storm. When it passes, power them on: each kit discovers and aggregates surviving connectivity in minutes, while carriers are still assessing damage.
Yes. ARC Edge is field proven at Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, keeping response operations connected through widespread tower, fiber, and power loss. That deployment is the proof point behind the numbers on this page.
Restoration crews work in exactly the areas where coverage is gone. ARC Edge gives them one resilient link that carries VoIP, work-management tools, and grid telemetry unchanged — so crews, staging areas, and the utility EOC stay coordinated while the grid comes back.
