A Smoother, Smarter Sales Process

Our mobile command units are complex vehicles and come equipped with a wide range of innovative features. You may have a general idea of what you’re looking for, but how do you design the perfect vehicle where no detail is overlooked?

This is where your local dealer comes in. They are your first point of contact during the entire sales and design process. Working as your personal liaison to the Frontline Communications design and engineering team, helping you answer mission-specific requirements like:

  • Who will be using the vehicle?
  • What are the primary functions of the command unit?
  • What kind of terrain or environments will it operate in?
  • Should it be built on a commercial or custom chassis?
  • What is your budget, and what features are must-haves?
  • How can you leverage the latest technology to enhance your mobile operations and make it a seamless extension of your headquarters?

From there, you and your dealer will look at your options and start the design and proposal process. Your dealer coordinates directly with the Frontline Communications team to help shape the specification, request proposal drawings and ensure you receive a fully informed proposal.

Industry-Leading Mobile Command Unit Aftermarket Support

One of the most unique advantages of our dealership network is aftermarket support. Our vehicles are the most technologically advanced and durable in the industry, manufactured to perform under the most extreme situations.

One way we help simplify ongoing support is through our surface mount raceways for communications wiring. These systems are designed with accessibility in mind, allowing dealers and technicians to easily upgrade or service the vehicle’s technical equipment without invasive rewiring. This helps to keep command units operational, while minimizing downtime.

Maintenance, ongoing service and keeping up with technology through tech refreshes is how to keep any mobile command vehicle at peak performance.

When the time comes for upkeep, Frontline Communications vehicle owners don’t need to ship their vehicle across the country for service at our headquarters in Clearwater, Florida. Instead, they have access to:

  • Local dealer service centers across the U.S. and Canada
  • Experienced service technicians who are certified to work on Frontline Communications vehicles
  • Fast access to parts shipped directly from Frontline Communications’ Clearwater plant
  • A dedicated customer service team ready to support dealers and customers when needed

Our dealer network is like having a local service center right in your backyard. No matter where you are—you can rely on fast, 24/7 service and support backed by your dealership and our in-house team.
