Secure remote engineering support

Engineers keep missions moving. When systems fail, Armed Forces engineers are the ones who fix it - creative problem-solvers who make the difference between success and failure, often in hostile, resource-starved conditions.

But even the best need backup. Whether it’s an electrical fault, a pneumatics problem or a mechanical issue, an extra set of expert eyes on the problem helps.

Metro’s Secure Remote Engineering Support delivers the help that is needed - fast, secure and anywhere in the world. Securely connecting your experts with engineers in the field.

Built on NATO accredited communications, our package combines a rugged Panasonic Toughbook, Inspectron wireless tools, and optional RealWear headsets for hands-free collaboration in the toughest environments.

And for Defence Contractors, the package benefits from an advanced multi-network router for reliable connectivity anywhere in the world. Connect your enterprise network to the global telecommunications networks for extra security. Everything comes mission-ready in a custom-cut, lifetime-guaranteed Peli case.

The WiScope and WiTorch connected to your Panasonic Toughbook, RealWear headset, or both, can make a real difference! Local or remote expert help and great for training too.
