New: Mobile Repeater Case
We are pleased to announce not one, but TWO new products this month with the release of our Mobile Repeater Case! The Mobile Repeater Case is built to protect, power, and cool 2 rack-mount repeaters or a total of 4U of other rack-mount electronic equipment.
The case includes 2 redundant AC power supplies allowing for seamless transition from shore power to generator and a battery port with automatic failover and charging that can be connected to almost any 12V vehicle battery.
A smart cooling system regulates temperature inside the case and even alarms when a preset maximum temperature is reached.
Just add a repeater of your choice, or let us do it for you.
Learn more about the Mobile Repeater Case on our website.
Today we are happy to announce the release of the DEN Microwave Link Kit. This kit provides a point-to-point connection of up to 10 miles, delivering network access to remote locations.
A battery-powered network hub and mesh Wi-Fi access points ensure that no infrastructure is needed to maintain a connection.
The DEN Microwave Kit is compatible with all DEN Platforms and even works standalone with an existing network. Visit our website for more information!

NC Rock SAR Excercise
Yesterday we brought DEN to the NC Rock SAR Exercise. It wasn’t long before the ITSL (IT Service Unit Leader) in the communications unit put a DEN case to connect the command post to the remote communications unit using chat and file sharing. We are very excited about the ITSL program always happy when a DEN case is so quickly put to work!
We are happy to announce that all Pelorus users now have access to an ADSB live flight tracking layer. Used in combination with other Pelorus layers including aviation chart layers, the ADSB layer can help build situational awareness of the skies over an incident or event.
The North Carolina Emergency Management Association is hosting their annual conference at the Hotel Ballast in Wilmington, NC the week of November 1st. DEN Systems will have a booth set up with a live demo. If you are attending the conference, make sure to stop by!

Hurricane Ida
Our hearts go out to the victims of Hurricane Ida. To assist anyone working in the affected regions we have added map layers for Louisiana and Mississippi DOT and are currently working on map layers for New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania DOT. If you or your agency is assisting in rescue or recovery in any affected areas, please let us know if there is anything we can help you with. Reach us 24/7 at 910-777-5256.
Today we are releasing an update to the Pelorus Mapping Software that includes a fuel availability layer. This layer will be useful to DEN users in the coming days as fuel deliveries resume from the Colonial Pipeline. We will leave this layer available after the current fuel shortage is over so that it can be used before, during, and after other incidents that deplete local and regional fuel supplies.
The layer displays fuel availability on a station by station basis. At higher zoom levels, stations appear as small dots and provide a heat map effect to show areas most highly impacted. At lower zoom levels, stations appear as easy to click icons which will open data collected about each station when clicked.
This layer will be included in your next DEN update. If you would like access to the layer immediately, let us know via email or phone.

Introducing: DEN XL
Today we are very excited to publicly announce the release of DEN XL, the fastest and most capable DEN case yet! DEN XL runs the same DEN software suite but is capable of supporting twice as many simultaneous users. Designed to back up small to medium sized EOCs or support large command posts, DEN XL can provide online and offline services to up to 250 devices.
Upgraded Network Equipment
Cradlepoint IBR-1700 with MC-400 modem for load balancing and extended automatic failover capabilities. Supports 250 devices for super-fast cellular Internet access and blazing-fast local DEN software access.
Upgraded Server
The DEN XL contains our fasted mini-server yet, about twice as powerful as a Mac Book Pro. With the extra power comes faster access to DEN software and services and the capability of supporting more simultaneous users.
Massive Antenna Array
Not a single antenna is visible on the DEN XL, but that absolutely does not mean they are not there. Inside the lid are two antenna panels containing 8 cellular antennas, 2 GNSS antennas, and 6 WiFi antennas. The antenna panels are engineered to prevent interference between antennas providing better quality signals and faster connections.
Larger Battery
To support all of the upgraded hardware we added a bigger battery. Just like all DEN products the DEN XL uses a LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery that lasts longer than other battery types and does not develop a charging memory. This means that DEN products can run while plugged into the charger 24/7 without loss of storage capacity.
Mesh Networking Compatibility
DEN XL is compatible with Ubiquiti Unifi mesh network products which allow for massive expansion of the DEN network over large areas and to an even more connected devices and users.
Access to All DEN Software and Services
– Raptor User Management
– Pelorus Collaborative Mapping
– DEN Chat
– DEN File Server
– SARTopo Offline
– DEN VOIP Phone System
