Entree Wireless is a provider of battery/solar powered wireless solutions for the first responder market that enhance key aspects of situational awareness, disaster response and crisis management.

Current products are the Warrior Battery Pack (WBP-KR1 - EVDO – Wi-Fi router), the Battery Powered Wi-Fi Video Camera and the Battery/Solar Power Wireless Sensor Network with EVDO backhaul.

These products are completely self contained standalone sub systems designed for reliable rapid deployment – Just pick up and go. Because they employ common low cost COTS equipment and a minimalist design approach they have been dubbed the ‘$100 solution’ referring to the cost of typical individual components. Generally upgrades and repairs can be completed with a visit to an electronics/hardware store and screw driver.

The equipment in these products are provided by Kyocera Wireless (KR1 EVDO/Wi-Fi router), Linksys (WVC54G wireless video camera), Crossbow Technology (Stargate – MEP Wireless environmental monitoring and security systems), MG Security Systems (NVR and DVR based video monitoring).

Entrée Wireless is participating in Strong Angel III to better understand the needs of the participants and to work through the issues of deploying wireless/battery/solar powered technology in a crisis environment.
