Georgia Wildfires
“Having the Verizon Wireless COW is amazing,” said Monroe Gains, Georgia Forest Commission Incident Commander. “It gives us a reach and a network we can tie into. Being able to come into an area where there is no cell coverage and within a short time, establish that is critical.”
Verizon Wireless maintains a fleet of COLTs and COWs for emergency response. Verizon Wireless COWs and COLTs are self-contained mobile cell sites specifically designed for rapid, and short-term response. These mobile cell sites can process thousands of calls an hour, enabling more emergency response teams and other wireless users to make calls concurrently. COWs are fully functional, generator-powered mobile cell sites with single masts that enhance coverage and capacity. COLTs are 25,000-pound vehicles with two retractable masts, a microwave antenna to link network components, an emergency power generator and a small office. The COLT is also fully equipped with resources needed during emergencies including equipment, fuel, electrical generators, food, water and cots.
