Here at Matthews Specialty Vehicles, we are known as a leading specialty vehicle manufacturer. We stem from a legacy of greatness over the years our brand has been built on a keen focus on durability and reliability. We take pride in building mobile command vehicles that are used in a variety of situations across a multitude of industries.
When emergencies and natural man-made disasters occur a mobile command center becomes a vital component to any mission. While deploying manpower and equipment is important, managing the situation is critical to any mission. Where time is of the essence, a make-shift command center on the hood of a patrol car is less than ideal. Mobile command units are dispatched to a scene of an emergency to act as a hub for communications and relay time-sensitive information.
Additionally, we can construct custom command post trailers. The mobility of a self-contained trailer allows for the trailer to be inserted wherever it may be needed most. Following are some of the most important factors to consider when evaluating any mobile command vehicle.
Data/Voice Communications
Every mobile command vehicle or trailer should have the capability of interoperable communications across any and all frequencies. There are rarely deployments where there is only one agency or jurisdiction involved. As seen on 9/11, it is extremely important for this cross communication and the use of plain language in lieu of ten-codes. Because of factors outside of control, there should also be redundant voice and data communications. This should include the use of satellite VoIP, cellular and landline connectivity. A well-equipped communications console will allow for dispatch and control over all radio traffic on-scene as opposed to off-site centralized dispatch.
