CHALLENGE

Multiple State flooding force widespread infrastructure failures

In the wake of a catastrophic flood impacting multiple states, federal disaster response teams—comprising FEMA, DHS, and National Guard units—faced widespread infrastructure failures. Cellular networks were down, fiber backhaul was severed, and regional Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) were cut off from remote teams. The lack of communications continuity delayed coordination, resource deployment, and situational awareness, putting lives and critical missions at risk.

OUR approach

PEAKE was rapidly activated under existing government support agreements to deliver multi-layered connectivity and integration services. The goal: re-establish full-spectrum communications across federal command units, mobile field teams, and interagency partners operating in disconnected and degraded environments.

PEAKE deployed a tailored, mission-ready solution suite across the disaster zone, including:

  • Blended Connectivity Kits combining LEO (Starlink) and GEO satellite systems with bonded LTE/5G for resilient backhaul

  • Mobile Command Network Integration linking federal field units with remote command centers through VPNs, voice-over-IP, and secure data channels

  • Private LTE networks to enable secure and dedicated bandwidth for FEMA camps and forward-operating bases

  • Edge compute systems and mobile servers to run GIS tools, casualty tracking systems, and unmanned surveillance platforms offline

  • Rapid deployment teams for onsite setup, integration with federal platforms, and 24/7 network operations support

All systems were pre-configured for CJIS and FedRAMP-aligned security protocols.

Impact

Re-established real-time communications for over 15 federal agency teams across a 300-square-mile impact area
Enabled coordinated response operations across state and federal stakeholders with unified situational dashboards
Supported 100+ mobile responders and 5 command centers with uninterrupted voice, data, and video connectivity
Accelerated resource tracking and survivor coordination, reducing duplication of efforts and improving mission speed
Ensured federal continuity of operations (COOP) standards were met during the critical response and recovery phases
