The Remote Site Model
At the POA, a task force Advance Team will be deployed to the disaster area for assessment and BoO site selection. The assumption is that they will need to communicate over a distance back to the task force management.
Figure I-2: Remote Site Model
This model serves any off-site communications needs. It may be established using radios (any band), proximity telephone, cellular, or other communications technology either supplied in the task force cache or provided by an allied agency.
Multiple Remote Site Models
During BoO set-up, reconnaissance teams will be sent to triage work/rescue sites. They may operate at a potential distance from the communications "hub."

Base of Operations Model
The focal point of task force communications upon arrival at disaster area will be the BoO. All communications hardware and networks will either be housed or facilitated through the Communications Specialists located at the Task Force Control Center (TFCC).
FIGURE I-4: Base of Operations Model
It is intended that the BoO Model would be built using a portable telephone switch. In the absence of a telephone system, radios may be substituted. Consideration must be given; however, regarding the increase in administrative radio traffic.
The Star Model
At remote sites, team members may be dispersed at a work site where each requires radio communications. In the absence of landline communications, the BoO may operate on a Star Model.

Multiple Star Model
Multiple remote work sites will require a multiple star model with repeater or a wide area network. This is simply a replication of a single Star Model.

Penetration Model
Extended work sites or rescues performed deep into collapsed structures may require radio signal penetration beyond the radiation capability of the work area network. Specific communications configurations may be required to establish radio signal directly into a distant or shielded work site.
