Field Tested, First Responder Approved: In February 2015, the COW was used to produce a 4G LTE network for first responders and agency operators at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships (AWSC) in Vail, CO. For the first time ever, emergency first responders charged with protecting thousands of spectators and athletes at AWSC had access to a dedicated wireless broadband network built specifically for public safety.
