Similar scenario to 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire response: Type I Incident Management Team support, other mission critical teams, and a morale network for firefighters & support staff.
New capabilities enabled us to deploy +users +security +reliability vs 2012
Two mesh networks deployed at first site + RRK, Mesh network deployed at second site.
Across our networks, we supported over 673 unique devices, transferred 60+ GB of data

Cisco Clean Air (1550) / Meraki Air Marshal (MR 66, MR 62) Wifi enabled strong signals even in the face of significant RF congenstion (55 rogue APs at site one!)
Multiple backhaul: 4G LTE backhaul primarily used, VSAT as secondary.
First deployment by TacOps of Meraki tech: MX60W (RRK), MX60, MR66/62 – all worked amazingly well!
Strong QoS / Traffic Shaping: Allowed for efficient useof b/w by mission critical and non-mission critical users. 750+ usersat site one, 100 users at site two. Layer 7 firewall for permitted traffic.
Active Security Management: Ironport WSA, Meraki + SourceFire enabled us to activelyidentify and protect against hostile traffic in real time. 30+ “high risk” attacks stopped against the IMT at Site 1.
