@ncweaver no we build the comms networks ad hoc. Our VHF and UHF radio networks are standardized in terms of equipment, procedures, etc and then once in the field the techs (like me) design and install the system.

For the internet access, we build out as we can and it is different on every fire. Sometimes we have cellular sat-linked deployables, sometimes starlink, sometiems terrestrial cell network. Then we build local 802.11 networks out from the pipe.
