MAVIS Units
Indicatively, the MAVIS Units are mobile satellite earth stations that are manufactured for delivering on-demand essential electronic services; originally built to support the US Forestry Service Overhead Teams with satellite, communication, networking infrastructure, services in remote locations and amenities to a population of 1,000 wild land fire fighters.
For a community under siege, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the United States has a Community Emergency Response Team as one of many incentives towards promoting resiliency against disasters. The eCERT Program is comparably the exclusive equivalency to publicly operated programs, and its the vehicle for dispatching MAVIS Units with its membership and an enhanced set of services.
Easy To Deploy And Maintain
A MAVIS Units structural steel frame and lifting rings gives the eCERT Program Memberships unprecedented mobility. Facetiously referenced as a flying trailer, in extreme cases the MAVIS Units are easily airlifted over debris fields and into communities that would be otherwise pressed for resources.
The retractable undercarriage, stow-away satellite compartment and reinforced blocking protects the embedded technology and easily put into service within 30 minutes. It wouldn’t be unusual for memberships to pair the MAVIS Units with larger capacity tents, workstations, and drones services as a secondary set of services each membership are adding to meet the program requirements.
The program is a turnkey enhancement, and designed around activating memberships within 30 days and with 6 to 25 members. When communities are impacted by disasters, the resources are mobilized and staged for the memberships, and then deployed into the communities.
A Renewable Asset And Resource
The MAVIS Units and the eCERT Program are cornerstones to organize 1,000 memberships and provide them the tools and effectively deployed them across the United States.
A MAVIS Unit accounts for 45% of a memberships operating budget, and the balance is committed towards the qualified supporting services that are deployed with the MAVIS Units. Their deployments are no more than 2 weeks long and a sustainable program spends 45 to 74 days in the field to meet the program requirements.
In return, the eCERT Program Memberships are inherently contributing to their community while independently earning revenues from their deployments as a national disaster response resource. Last year the United States spent $49 billion for mitigating disasters and the eCERT Program adds $500 million worth of resources to an endless demand for services.
