Norfolk are the most recent UK Fire & Rescue Services to take advantage of Excelerate’s market leading solutions including a portable satellite terminal and the on-board technology for their new Incident Command Unit.

The new technology will be deployed at major incidents across the Norfolk region enabling the sharing of critical information – data, video and voice – to support incident management and will serve to strengthen the resilience and operation response of the service.

Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service are pleased to be part of a solid partnership with Excelerate developing a robust incident ground communications system using the most up to date technology. Norfolk is a predominantly rural county and mobile communication can be challenging, the provision of portable satellite terminals will provide a vital level of resilience within our new Control Unit.
