Crisis situations are often characterized by sudden, violent events that are not necessarily predictable within a given timeframe. Regardless of who is affected – the public or private sector – when "something" happens, our goal is to restore the initial state by using all available resources to minimize potential damage and maintain operational continuity. The proverbial "forces and means" may have a common denominator – the TRX communication module from KLAS.
Crisis Management – Action Plan
The very first sentences of the polish Crisis Management Act of April 26, 2007 contain a rather universal algorithm for dealing with crisis situations:
- First, we aim to prevent crisis situations through preparation for controlling them through planned actions.
- If the first point does not work or cannot be applied, we respond in the event of a crisis situation and remove its effects while restoring resources and critical infrastructure.
In other words, we initially focus on preventing undesirable events – usually through active monitoring of specified parameters and training personnel to detect and take proactive actions aimed at minimizing the occurrence of the event. Only in the case of failure do we take further steps to eliminate the effects of those events and restore our resources and necessary infrastructure.
TRX Module – Mobile Edge Gateway for Special Tasks
In both cases, we can significantly increase the effectiveness of our actions with the TRX communication module from KLAS. It is a multifunctional edge gateway that combines server-grade computing power with a variety of communication technologies:

Key Features of the TRX Module:
What distinguishes the TRX module?
- Reliable communication in literally any conditions due to the use of various technologies and network protocols.
- Compact and flexible computational power, enabling continuous data logging and local edge processing.
- Military-grade construction quality – TRX is designed to operate in extreme weather conditions and is resistant to shocks and vibrations in moving vehicles.
- Quick configuration upload – thanks to the special VIK card slot (NVMe disk up to 512 GB in size, similar to a standard SD card).
USE CASE – PREVENTING CRISIS SITUATIONS WITH THE TRX MODULE
One of the main applications of TRX modules is broad data logging and local processing from devices such as:
- Sensors, weather stations, quality indicators, water contamination, temperature, pressure or voltage indicators, or the condition of specific devices.
- Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) moving and recording data (including audio/video) in real time over long distances.
- "Classic" ground vehicles (not just wheeled), boats, and aircraft (telemetry).
- Thermal cameras, CCTV, and larger monitoring systems.
With the help of such a data integrator as TRX, we can collect significantly more information about our environment, allowing us to better control and predict potential events – rising water levels in rivers, spreading fires, incoming severe weather phenomena, anomalies in the operation of machines and devices, or entire water, electrical, or gas installations.
USE CASE – RESPONDING TO CRISIS SITUATIONS WITH TRX
Let’s assume we were unable to detect or predict an event in time, and now we must focus on coordinating actions on-site and managing the effects of the crisis situation – this is where the reliability of our modular solution’s connectivity really stands out:
- TRX allows tracking of GPS locations of portable devices, enabling efficient coordination of individual units and task groups working in the field.
- The TRX module installed in mobile vehicles can serve as a "communication extension" between control points in the field and a backup command center – regardless of local terrain conditions.
- The multitude of communication protocols and technologies allows us to establish a "Wi-Fi Bubble" and radio integration in areas completely devoid of telecommunications infrastructure, ensuring smooth communication within rescue teams using various communication standards.
- Furthermore, SD-WAN support enables encryption and the establishment of secure tunnels for sensitive communications.
Summary
The TRX communication module from KLAS is a device built for special tasks requiring reliability under even the most difficult conditions. Compact computational power combined with a wide range of wired and wireless communication technologies allows us to gather proactive information about our environment, ensuring full control anytime and anywhere. TRX is also a proven choice when stable communication is needed in challenging and demanding terrain, where local infrastructure may not always be available.
