About
Mission-Ready Communications Since 2007
Comprehensive Communication Solutions (CCS) designs and integrates mobile communication, command, connectivity, surveillance, and emergency response solutions for organizations that need to stay operational when traditional infrastructure is limited, damaged, or unavailable.
Founded in January 2007, CCS has grown from a company focused primarily on mobile communications for first responders into a provider of complete, integrated solutions for public safety, emergency management, government agencies, utilities, military organizations, and other mission-critical operations.
From Mobile Emergency Response Centers (MERC) and portable PERC communication systems to satellite connectivity, LTE/5G networking, video surveillance, deployable air shelters, and specialized mobile platforms, our focus remains the same: give teams the technology they need to communicate, coordinate, and respond effectively in the field.
CCS integrates Starlink into a wide range of mobile platforms and deployable systems, giving teams the ability to establish connectivity quickly and maintain operations without relying on fixed infrastructure.
Built From a Need for Better Emergency Communications
The concept behind CCS developed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The response reinforced an important lesson: even with significant advances in emergency technology, communication and resource coordination remain among the most critical components of an effective disaster response.
CCS was founded two years later with a specific goal—to provide first responders with mobile communication platforms capable of operating when conventional infrastructure cannot.
Our founders came from the telecommunications industry and recognized a gap in the mobile command center market. Many available command vehicles provided excellent transportation and climate-controlled workspace, but the communications technology inside them often remained limited.
CCS set out to change that.
Instead of approaching a mobile command center primarily as a trailer or vehicle, we approach it as an integrated communications platform.
More Than a Mobile Command Center Manufacturer
Fabrication is only one part of building an effective emergency response platform.
CCS brings together the physical command environment with the communications, networking, power, and situational-awareness technology teams depend on in the field.
Depending on the mission, CCS can integrate:
Satellite communications and internet connectivity
LTE, 5G, and FirstNet® connectivity
Land mobile radio systems
Radio interoperability solutions
Wi-Fi and MESH networking
Hosted VoIP and SIP communications
CBRS and private LTE networks
Video surveillance and remote monitoring
Drone and unmanned aerial system support
Mobile power and backup power systems
Pneumatic masts and elevated communications equipment
Network routing, switching, and data distribution
The result is a solution designed around the mission rather than a collection of equipment added after the platform has already been built.
Nearly Two Decades of Real-World Experience
Since 2007, CCS has continued to adapt its solutions as emergency communications technology has evolved.
LTE and 5G networks have expanded. FirstNet® has transformed public-safety connectivity. Satellite technology has advanced considerably with new LEO and GEO options. Interoperability platforms, private networks, cloud-based communications, video surveillance, drones, and mobile networking have created capabilities that were not available when CCS began.
Our job is to understand how those technologies work together and integrate the right combination into practical systems that teams can deploy and operate in real-world conditions.
That experience has helped CCS grow from serving agencies primarily in Texas to supporting customers throughout the United States and internationally.
Proven Around the World
CCS equipment has supported customers from the East Coast to the West Coast and in countries around the world.
Our customers have included federal, state, and local agencies along with military, public-safety, emergency-response, and humanitarian organizations. CCS has worked with organizations including FEMA, the FBI, National Guard units, the U.S. Air Force, the American Red Cross, Texas Department of Public Safety, U.S. Southern Command, Canadian law enforcement, and numerous state and local fire and law-enforcement agencies.
Every deployment is different, which is why CCS does not take a one-size-fits-all approach.
A local public-safety department may need a compact portable communications kit. Another agency may require a fully equipped mobile command trailer with satellite communications, radio interoperability, multiple operator stations, surveillance systems, and independent power. A remote operation may need satellite and cellular connectivity, while another customer may need an expandable command environment supported by air shelters.
We build around the operational requirement.
The MERC Difference
CCS developed its Mobile Emergency Response Center, or MERC, platform to provide more than a mobile workspace.
MERC systems combine command space with the communications infrastructure required to keep personnel connected during emergency response, planned events, remote operations, and continuity-of-operations situations.
CCS offers towable and drive-away configurations along with compact and specialized platforms that can incorporate independent power, satellite communications, cellular connectivity, radio systems, interoperability, surveillance, networking, and other mission-specific technology.
For agencies with existing command vehicles or trailers, CCS can also renovate and modernize older units with updated communications, networking, power, interior systems, and technology.
Portable Communications Beyond the Command Center
Not every operation requires a full-size mobile command center.
CCS has expanded its product line to provide portable and rapidly deployable solutions that bring many of the same communications capabilities into smaller platforms.
Our PERC systems can combine LTE/5G connectivity, satellite communications, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, PoE, battery power, and network management into rugged portable configurations. Skymast solutions can elevate wireless, CBRS, video, and networking equipment to improve coverage and situational awareness. Mobile surveillance platforms provide remote monitoring for public safety, construction, parking areas, events, critical infrastructure, and other temporary or remote environments.
CCS also integrates Zumro inflatable air shelters to create rapidly deployable medical, office, privacy, command, and emergency-response environments.
Together, these solutions allow organizations to build a response system around their actual operational requirements rather than relying on a single platform.
Technology Changes. Our Mission Does Not.
Emergency communications have changed dramatically since CCS opened its doors in 2007, and they will continue to change.
Our commitment is to keep evaluating new technologies and determining how they can improve reliability, connectivity, interoperability, mobility, and situational awareness for our customers.
The technology may evolve, but our purpose remains straightforward:
Help the people responsible for protecting communities communicate and operate effectively when it matters most.
Experience You Can Put in the Field
Choosing an emergency communications system involves much more than selecting equipment from a catalog. Power requirements, available networks, coverage, interoperability, deployment time, transportation, operating environment, personnel, and redundancy can all affect the right solution.
CCS works with customers to understand those requirements and develop a system around the way their teams actually operate.
Whether you need a complete mobile command center, portable communications package, satellite solution, video surveillance platform, deployable shelter, or upgrades to existing equipment, our team can help determine the right approach.
