metropolyBOX. MOBILE AND SECURE
Extreme weather conditions, exceptional situations, and major events require mobile and flexible leadership teams and command centers. However, the experiences from 2021 have shown that this by no means should imply "There is no internet - we are back to working with pen and paper."
The offline-capable metropolyBOS Node-Servers are the ideal foundation for such situations and have proven their reliability, for example, during the flood disaster in the Ahr valley. Thanks to the economical, encrypted and efficient data transmission with e-LAN Connect, it was possible for the command vehicle 2 equipped with metropolyBOS to exchange data with their command centers via satellite connections even during the total loss of the Internet. Operating solely offline is also possible - availability and reliability always come first at metropolyBOS!
The metropolyBOX creates a compact, flexible and vehicle-independent basis for such operational scenarios. Even the largest command vehicle 3 - if it is available and can move into the operational area - will eventually become too small. The metropolyBOX makes it possible to operate a complete command centerwherever it fits - in a school, another public building or in a tent. The portable and mobile rack with all the ready-to-use technology can be transported to the site by any vehicle - or, of course, by helicopter or multi-purpose boat!
With the metropolyBOX, a complete staff including expert consultants (standard: 16 network connections) can work autonomously, even in the event of a network failure - the completely flexible connection to the Internet (via fixed network, mobile router or satellite) creates independence and the integrated hardware firewall protects the server and workstations from attacks in the process.
Professional components (Hewlett Packard Enterprise Server with flash drives, Sophos Firewall, uninterruptible power supply from APC and of course the metropolyBOS modules) for secure use - the integrated UPS protects the server and enables a safe operation of the metropolyBOX even with power generators.
The metropolyBOX can be delivered as a ready-built and immediately usable mobile complete system with an offline-capable metropolyBOS Node-Servers (to be connected to any existing metropolyBOS Server as a central and thus also usable with its incident management system connection) or as a transportable central system with an independent metropolyBOS server. Customizations and special requests are of course possible!
