Star Solutions develops new deployable public safety LTE system

Star Solutions has introduced new IMPAC System, a LTE deployable manpack solution at the Seventh Canadian Public Safety Interoperability Workshop (CITIG Seven).

Single switch activation allows the IMPAC System to offer a complete 700MHz LTE Band 14 network capabilities within minutes.

The IMPAC also enables public safety broadband network operators to extend and supplement network coverage or to quickly restore communications services for first responders in the aftermath of a disaster.

The rugged, transportable, easy to deploy IMPAC System has been designed to address issues such as networks disabling during emergency situations for first responder communications.

Star Solutions CEOJack Mar said conventional deployable cellular systems are generally built on trucks and trailers. "The IMPAC System takes deployable systems to a new level, enabling first responders and public safety personnel to take with them the communications network they need to complete their mission critical tasks and support the public in any given situation,"Mar added.

In addition to optional battery pack, the system features lightweight manpackable design to enable easy transportation to rural or remote areas while being operational as power systems are being restored.

As a necessary part of any public safety broadband network, the IMPAC System also enables stakeholders and practitioners the ability to test applications, devices and emergency management scenarios prior to deployment of the network.
