Police Rely on Dejero GateWay for Critical Communications during San Diego’s Comic-Con Special Edition Event

Dejero, an innovator in resilient connectivity for critical communications, recently supported the San Diego Police Department’s (SDPD) public safety operations at the San Diego Comic-Con Special Edition by providing its GateWay network aggregation solution. Local network engineering experts AggreGateway installed a Dejero GateWay 211 device inside the SDPD’s Mobile Command Vehicle, ensuring uninterrupted wireless internet connectivity for effective situational awareness throughout the renowned comic book and pop culture convention.

The event took place over the weekend of 26-28th November 2021 as a scaled-down version of the regular show, owing to pandemic-related health concerns that saw the cancellation of the 2020 edition. This meant an even greater emphasis on public safety for the convention’s return, with SDPD deploying a Mobile Command Vehicle to support their situational awareness efforts for a crowd that was expected to reach 40,000.

Having previously partnered with SDPD for the 2021 US Open golf tournament, AggreGateway employed a similar setup for the Comic-Con Special Edition in order to monitor live video and access mission critical apps from the Joint Operations Center command post and the SDPD headquarters. A Dejero GateWay 211 was stationed inside the Mobile Command Vehicle for cellular connectivity, allowing officers inside the vehicle to use wireless internet as a secured path into the SDPD network. The event was monitored in real-time and relayed back to the command post without latency or interference.
