Case Study: Round Mountain Volunteer Fire Department achieves seamless rural dispatch connectivity with Peplink

Round Mountain Volunteer Fire Department boosts 250-square-mile coverage with Peplink

The Round Mountain Volunteer Fire Department, a volunteer fire department serving a vast rural area in Central Texas, faced significant challenges due to limited internet infrastructure and weak cellular signals across its 250-square-mile district. This hampered critical operations like dispatch and coordination. To overcome these connectivity gaps, they turned to Peplink for a robust solution.

Peplink implemented a solution using its MAX BR1 Mini 5G routers installed in emergency vehicles, creating mobile hotspots supported by the Verizon Frontline network. This provided the department with excellent coverage across its entire service area, enabling reliable access to dispatch systems, mobile applications, and faster coordination with other agencies. The result is improved response times, enhanced crew safety, and stronger joint response efforts during emergencies.
