Platforms Wireless International Corp. announced it will be exhibiting its new SkyTower-911 Transportable Tower Emergency Communications System at the National Homeland Defense Symposium VI to be held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, October 28--30. The SkyTower-911 Transportable Tall Tower System is a rugged, field-proven, autonomous system-delivery platform designed to efficiently transport and deploy the Recom-911 and Rosetta-911 Rapid Response Emergency Communications Systems, and additional support and accessory systems. The SkyTower-911 higher-altitude antennae systems and amplifiers enable the Recom-911 and the Rosetta-911 to propagate cellular and radio RF signals to a 10 to 12-mile radius (20-to 24-mile diameter--depending on clear line-of-sight) to provide a mobile network (communications canopy)of cellular and interoperable radio communications services. The SkyTower-911 Transportable Tall Tower System can deliver and deploy multiple system payloads and facilities to an incident scene, including: the Recom-911 Rapid Response Communications System; the Rosetta-911 Interoperable Radio Communications System; Video Surveillance/Thermal Imaging systems; Radar systems; Intrusion Alarm Systems; and lighting, spotlights and loud-speaker systems. The SkyTower-911 System features a lattice steel, self-supporting telescopic structure on a heavy-duty trailer with Mil-spec aircraft-quality cables, stainless steel hardware, and solid state circuitry. It has a total lift capacity for System payloads and accessories of over 500 pounds and comes equipped with a trailer-mounted 15 kilowatt power plant and a 40 gallon fuel tank for 40 hours of autonomous operations. The System deploys its antennae at an elevation of 106 feet, without guy wire supports and has a wind survivability of 70 mph without guy wires and 120 mph with guy wires. Additionally, the System can operate in extreme environments due to its direct drive lift system with no exposed belts or chains, a Command & Control shelter with an environmental climate control system, and a lightning arrest/grounding system that protects personnel and electronics.
