As with all LA-RICS systems, the NMDN system is resilient and redundant. It is designed to work in the robust and extreme environment of wildland firefighting. LA-RICS looks forward to making this service available to other users, as well. #LARICS

The NMDN services also include text messaging, form updates, GPS for the Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) systems, and advanced mapping systems for the fire units in the field. The LACoFD is excited to use this next-generation technology provided by LA-RICS #LARICS

NMDN is seamlessly compatible with cellular broadband systems and provides critical data to wildland areas not covered by cellular carriers, and also in times of disaster when cellular services may be down #LARICS
