What Happens When Cell Towers Fail? Our Community's Communication Backup Plan

When cell towers go down during disasters, how does your community stay connected? In this video, we share the mobile GMRS radios and repeater system that we use for our emergency communication network. We cover three critical pieces of equipment: *Midland MXT500 (50-watt base station for command center) https://alnk.to/1C9Vv1U *Midland MXT575 (50-watt mobile radio installed in our Suburban) https://alnk.to/ei4u7KA *Midland MXR10 Repeater (extends range across our entire community) https://alnk.to/eZJw2YX This is part 2 of our community communication series.
