FCACS was mobilized by FCEMA to provide staffing and equipment for the Primary Election polling place in Dubois to assure continuity of electrical power for the polling place.
On January 17, 2025, the first of many planned nodes was brought online to provide AREDN (Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network) services in Fremont County. FCACS has adopted Mikrotik as its preferred brand of equipment due to its incredible reliability combined with extremely low costs. Four more nodes are planned for deployment by the end of January, 2025.
FCACS is actively researching the most practical way to deploy AREDN (Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network) technology in Fremont County. AREDN uses ham radio frequencies to greatly increase wireless networking range using the same fault-tolerant design as the Internet.
Would you like to become a licensed ham radio operator? In cooperation with the CWC Adult Education Center in Dubois, Wyoming, the FCACS will be offering classroom training. The first class that will be offered is for those interested in taking the Technician Class license exam (the first level of licensure as a ham operator).
