How does the Rapid
Deployable program work
for you

Response Operations Group

How do I request a deployable?
Call FirstNet Customer Service at 800.574.7000, 24/7/365, or call your FirstNet solutions consultant.
How long does it take?
The ROG team activates and triages the need in conjunction with the dedicated FirstNet customer liaison.
They assess the situation and determine the best course of action. SatColt (Satellite Cells on Light Trucks)
deployments follow a 14-hour (or less) on-air objective for emergency requests – from getting the request
to having a deployable on scene and operational.
How do I request one for future use?
Call FirstNet Customer Service at 800.574.7000 or contact your solutions consultant. 30 day lead time
How much does it cost?
Public safety agencies on FirstNet can activate the ROG team and the solutions they provide at no
additional charge.
Are we limited to FirstNet deployables?
No. In addition to the more than 80+ dedicated deployables, we may coordinate with AT&T for access to its
fleet of hundreds of deployables of varying types.
Can we purchase our own?
Agencies can purchase their own Compact Rapid Deployable. This hitch mountable deployable functions
just like any cell site and can serve as a complement to the services the ROG team provides. Contact your
FirstNet consultant for more information.
