Because DEN is housed in a ruggedized case and contains networking equipment and antennas, it is unfortunately, sometimes confused with other products like communications cases. Communications cases usually consist of a cellular hotspot and battery in a case which helps users within WiFi range connect to the Internet over a cellular network.
While DEN is capable of providing a large number of users with an Internet connection and VOIP phone service, this is only a small part of what it does. Unlike communications cases, DEN is built to provide local access to mission-critical applications without an Internet connection.
Built in to DEN is a tiny but powerful server that hosts software capable of chat and team communication, collaborative mapping, file sharing, and search and rescue planning. Users are able to securely and quickly access the software through a single sign on system. No installation is necessary because all software runs through a web browser and is compatible with almost any computer, tablet, or mobile device with WiFi.
DEN does all of these things for the same reason it has a 30 hour battery life, is housed in a waterproof, shock resistant case, and is fully managed and supported 24/7 – because it is built to operate under all conditions to support responses to all hazards. When the power goes out or when cellular networks go down, DEN keeps running.
