HARRISBURG – With hundreds of thousands of fans expected in Pittsburgh this week, the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) today introduced its P25 Land Mobile Radio Cell on Wheels (LMR-COW), which will be utilized during the 2026 NFL Draft to help strengthen emergency communications and bolster safety for visitors, residents, and first responders. The P25 is a mobile radio tower that stands 100 feet tall and is mounted on a towable trailer.
Since last year, the PSP, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources have worked tirelessly alongside their federal, state, and local safety partners to develop security plans, coordinate traffic management tactics, conduct risk assessments, and participate in interagency exercises, designed to strengthen response capabilities.
The trailer offers rapidly deployable, interoperable communications capabilities that enhance coordination among emergency responders when traditional systems are unavailable or overwhelmed. The unit can be operational within minutes, providing reliable communications even in the most challenging environments.
