Communication Tower

About Us

The Kismet mobile communications vehicle came to fruition in October of 2016 when a retired ambulance was spotted on a government surplus auction website.  Seeing the vehicle created a vision that would allow some friends to fulfill their dream of being able to give back to their community.  That’s what created the fundamental idea of an emergency communications vehicle named KISMET, which means fate; destiny.  The name was chosen for the vehicle’s potential to alter outcomes in a time of need.

The vehicle was designed for mutual aid purposes and has a wide variety of gear onboard for providing interoperability between multiple entities.

It is capable of receiving and redistributing Internet services, reception of television service, has a broad selection of voice and digital communications via radio, and is fully equipped for patching a multitude of radio systems together.  Some of which are modes not commonly found on most command vehicles.

The mobile rig is designed to handle any mission duration and can be efficiently deployed and operational in a short amount of time.  It can operate independently from commercial power without the use of a generator for the first several hours.  After which, an onboard generator can be started for prolonged use.

The rig is equipped with self-sufficiency in mind, with crew amenities that will allow for 24 hour operating shifts.
