2025 Kentucky Emergency Services Conference

DEN Systems Attends the Kentucky Emergency Management Services Conference

DEN Systems was honored to participate in the 2025 Kentucky Emergency Management Services Conference (KESC) in Louisville, a premier gathering for emergency management professionals, public safety leaders, 911 community members, and industry partners across the region.

Throughout the event, our team engaged with Kentucky’s ESF-2 leadership, local and state emergency managers, 911 directors, and incident management team representatives. These discussions focused on enhancing communications resilience, preparedness planning, and strengthening operational continuity during disaster response.

Our presence at KESC highlighted The DEN Difference demonstrating how deployable and reliable communications platforms support agencies in maintaining command, control, and situational awareness when it matters most.

The conference was an invaluable opportunity to collaborate with decision-makers, exchange best practices, and further partnerships that will advance emergency response capabilities in Kentucky and beyond.

EOC Backup with DEN

Seattle Emergency Operations Center – Wikimedia Commons

A common use case for DEN is to back up Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). Before, during, or after a disaster is not the time to face technical limitations or lose capabilities due to loss of power, loss of an Internet connection, or loss of facilities.

DEN acts as an always-on backup that can provide teams with a high-speed Internet connection through the cellular network, local WiFi access to mission-critical collaboration tools without any Internet connection, and act as an offline repository for important documents, maps, and files. Even if a facility is lost, DEN can be easily carried to a new location to resume work without missing a beat.

To help back up an EOC, DEN can:

  • Provide a backup Internet connection over cellular networks
  • Provide access to mission-critical applications with no Internet connection including: file sharing, chat, collaborative mapping, and SARTopo
  • Last up to 30 hours between charges
  • Be easily carried between locations in harsh and unforgiving conditions (even while it’s still running)


If you have any questions about using DEN to back up your EOC, let us know!
