With a combination of classroom and hands-on lab work, members of our Field Service and Support teams gained a wealth of knowledge on Rapid Deploy including; architecture, physical installation, safety, security, availability, and performance.

Our Rapid Deploy networks are only as good as the team tasked with building and supporting them. Buckeye Mountain is committed to having the team in place with the necessary skills to support the latest technology built into the Rapid Deploy family of products. Continued growth and advancements in technology necessitate having a well-trained group of technicians.

This week we’ve added ten Rapid Deploy Certified Field Technicians and five Rapid Deploy Certified Support Technicians.
