What is a Network on Wheels?

A Pierson Wireless Network on Wheels (NOW) is an easily-deployed and portable telecommunications tower that creates or enhances private network and wireless coverage for locations with suboptimal or no coverage. NOW units provide a flexible, cost-effective alternative to permanent tower installations. NOWs generally feature a telescoping mast, network antenna, radio, and power source, all of which are mounted on a portable structure (i.e., truck, trailer).

Network on Wheels provide a number of benefits, including:

Efficiency (cost and time)

Allows for network deployment in remote or difficult-to-access locations

Portability

Scalability

Common Use Cases

Outdoor Private Networks

Private data networks are one of the fastest-growing use cases for NOWs. Private networks are utilized across a number of industries that value end-to-end control of their network’s Quality of Service (QoS) to control traffic and ensure the performance of critical functions. Private network NOWs also provide an excellent tool to stand-up outdoor private networks in remote or underserved areas.

Demonstration Networks

NOWs are the perfect vehicle to deploy a network that is being leveraged on a temporary basis as a pilot. NOWs also allow you to “jump start” your fixed network deployment by leveraging portable assets ahead of your permanent structures.

Natural Disasters

First responders and government agencies require reliable connectivity to coordinate an effective response following the devastating effects of a natural disaster. NOWs are quickly deployed to stand up an operational network in times of need.

Large Events

Major sporting events, concerts, and festivals are frequented by thousands of attendees who are constantly interacting with their mobile devices to make calls, send texts, and post images and updates to their favorite social media outlets. This concentrated activity creates a strain on existing macro networks. NOWs are an excellent way to enhance and supplement existing networks to provide attendees the coverage they expect.
