When Local Infrastructure Fails, Your Command Center Must Stand Alone


TV Pro Gear custom engineers mobile command centers for disaster response, giving emergency management directors and public safety officials a self-sustaining, field-ready communications hub. They stand completely alone. These purpose-built platforms integrate broadcast-grade video monitoring, redundant satellite uplinks, and ruggedized power systems so your team maintains complete situational awareness and operational control when local networks are entirely offline.

Engineered for the Field: Custom Disaster Relief Vehicles

A standard utility truck outfitted with off-the-shelf equipment is not a mobile command unit; it is a vehicle with gear in it. We start from scratch. TV Pro Gear designs, builds, trains, and supports custom disaster relief vehicles from the chassis up, drawing on 25+ years of engineering high-stakes broadcast systems where signal routing, fiber transmission, and system reliability carry real consequences. That same discipline applies directly to emergency management mobile units, where the vehicle must function as a fully self-sustaining operations center from the moment the wheels stop.


Outcomes That Matter: Operational Benefits in Crisis Scenarios

We focus on outcomes. Every detail matters.


  • Sustained Field Autonomy: Maintain continuous operations for days without external power hookups, keeping your command staff active and mission-ready.
  • Uninterrupted Communications: Establish secure, high-bandwidth data and voice links with proven reliability, independent of local cellular tower failures.
  • Real-Time Situational Awareness: Coordinate multiple incoming video feeds on a centralized monitor wall for rapid, informed decision-making.
  • Day-One Crew Confidence: Your team operates the mobile command center with complete familiarity through dedicated, hands-on training before first deployment.




32/40' Expando OB Trucks

The Peterbuilt chassis has a 30’ work area box that expands to 14’ wide. It handles up to 16 cameras, 12 channels of instant replay/slow-motion and 4 channels title generator.

Built-In Technical Capabilities:
Broadcast-Grade Engineering


Our vehicles feature advanced engineering. We build for reliability.


  • Multi-Carrier Cellular & Satellite Routing: Auto-pointing satellite uplinks and multi-carrier cellular routers deliver secure, redundant communications even when local towers are down.
  • Bespoke Workstation Layouts: Climate-controlled cabins with modular equipment racks and collaborative work areas tailored to your agency's exact operational protocols.
  • High-Definition Video Monitoring Walls: Broadcast-grade signal routing aggregates real-time drone footage, field cameras, and weather feeds onto a centralized display.
  • Ruggedized Power Infrastructure: High-capacity uninterruptible power supplies paired with heavy-duty backup generators sustain continuous, multi-day operations.


TV Pro Gear works with clients to determine the right size and layout for the intended use. The goal is to avoid overbuilding or underbuilding the vehicle while creating a durable mobile platform that can support current needs and future growth.



Redundant Communications and Power Systems

TV Pro Gear engineers vehicle-based disaster relief infrastructure with complete redundancy designed in at the engineering phase, not added as an afterthought. We plan for failure. Private LTE and mesh networking layers operate alongside multi-tier satellite systems, ensuring that even if physical lines are severed or local towers are destroyed, no single point of failure can take your command center offline. Sensitive electronics are protected by ruggedized rack mounts and sophisticated climate control systems engineered to maintain operating temperatures across extreme field conditions.


  • Pneumatic Mast Systems: High-reaching masts extend line-of-sight radio, microwave, and camera coverage across your field communications range.
  • Redundant Signal Routing: Broadcast-grade fiber transmission prevents single points of failure during critical live data coordination.
  • Smart Power Management: Automated switching between shore power, generator power, and UPS backups keeps workstations online without reboot cycles.


Platform Type Typical Crew Capacity Power Generation Primary Communications Video Routing Capacity
Compact Command Van GAP: verified crew capacity needed GAP: generator wattage needed Multi-carrier cellular + single satellite uplink GAP: routing channel count needed
Medium-Duty Command Truck GAP: verified crew capacity needed GAP: generator wattage needed Multi-carrier cellular + dual satellite uplinks GAP: routing channel count needed
Heavy-Duty Mobile Operations Center GAP: verified crew capacity needed GAP: generator wattage needed Multi-carrier cellular + redundant satellite systems + private LTE/mesh network GAP: routing channel count needed


All specifications are custom-engineered to your agency's precise operational requirements, ensuring that every rack space, power outlet, and communication link is optimized for the specific challenges of your deployment environment. Contact our team for a platform assessment.

Schedule a Technical Assessment

TV Pro Gear provides a complete lifecycle partnership, spanning assessment, engineering, testing, training, and ongoing post-build support. A dedicated staff coordinator is assigned to your project from the initial blueprint through final delivery, serving as your single point of contact at every phase to ensure that your engineering specifications are met without compromise. Agencies do not receive a vehicle and a manual; they receive a partner accountable for long-term operational success at every stage. We stay with you.


Our hands-on training curriculum walks your crew through every system before the vehicle ever reaches a deployment site. Signal routing, power switching, satellite acquisition, workstation protocols; your operators learn the platform in a controlled environment so their first real-world activation runs with the same confidence as a rehearsed exercise. That preparation is built into every build we deliver. We leave nothing to chance.

Trust and Reliability: Proven Broadcast-Grade Heritage

TV Pro Gear was founded in 1997 by producer Andrew Maisner, and the company has spent nearly three decades engineering mobile systems that perform under network deadlines and high-pressure field conditions. Every vehicle undergoes a rigorous pre-delivery testing phase before it leaves our facility, and our global service area means ongoing technical support is available wherever your agency operates. We stand by our work.

Our engineering team helps you select the chassis that matches your terrain and payload requirements.

  • How does TV Pro Gear handle equipment integration for existing agency radios?

    During the design phase, our engineers map your existing communication assets and design custom rack spaces, power distribution, and antenna patch panels to integrate your current radio systems with our broadcast-grade signal routing and satellite systems.

  • What is the average deployment time for the vehicle's mast and satellite systems on-site?

    All mast and satellite systems are engineered for rapid, automated deployment. Single-button auto-pointing satellite acquisition minimizes setup time in high-pressure scenarios, so your command center reaches operational status quickly after arrival on-site. Verified deployment time figures are available during your technical consultation.

  • What electrical safety standards govern the manufacturing of your mobile command centers?

    All electrical systems are engineered and tested to meet rigorous industrial safety and power distribution standards, ensuring complete operator safety during continuous field operations. Specific certification documentation is available upon request during your agency's procurement process.

  • How do you determine the power generator capacity needed for a multi-workstation vehicle?

    Our engineers calculate the total peak power draw of all integrated workstations, climate control units, and communications gear, then specify a redundant generator system with a safe operational margin above that figure. The result is a power architecture that handles sustained multi-day operations without capacity risk.
