The Royal Canadian Mounted Police operates vehicles across the country. A diverse fleet. A massive range of vehicle types. Patrol cars. SUVs. Transport vehicles. Tactical units. Rescue teams. Every vehicle different. Every deployment different.
When RCMP decided to deploy Starlink connectivity across their operations, they faced a real constraint: there's no one-size-fits-all approach. They needed mounting solutions that worked on every surface. They needed power solutions that adapted to how officers actually use their vehicles.
TRIO solved both problems.
The Challenge of Optionality
A mounting system only works if officers will use it. One rigid mounting standard doesn't fit a fleet with this much diversity. TRIO's range of mounts includes Mini Speedmount, Mini Flatmount, Mini Interior Mount, Gen 3 Standard Flatmount, and Gen 3 Standard Speedmount, so every vehicle type finds the right solution. Some officers needed quick deployment. Get the dish mounted, get connected, move on. Other deployments required permanent installation. Hard-wired power. Systems that stay operational through extreme cold, extreme heat, and everything in between.
Starlink works. But the mount and power have to work first.
What Actually Works in the Field
RCMP discovered something simple but powerful: rubber-coated magnets paired with cigarette lighter power cables worked so well that officers stopped removing the dishes. Deploy once. Leave it mounted. The system just works. No removal. No redeployment overhead. Just constant connectivity.
For higher-ranking staff and larger response vehicles, we built custom power supply solutions. Hard-wired into the vehicle's electrical system. Minimized downtime. Maximized reliability. Officers get the power architecture that matches their operational needs.
Built for Canadian Conditions
RCMP operates in desolate areas. Remote locations. Extreme temperature swings. Cold that kills most equipment. Heat that strains power systems. Our mounts and power solutions were built for this.
ASA plastic that survives freeze-thaw cycles. Magnets that hold through temperature extremes. Power cables designed for vehicles that operate in conditions where failure isn't an option. RCMP's officers depend on connectivity. Our job is to make sure the mount stays secure and the power stays live.
Scaling Across a National Operation
RCMP's rollout is strategic. Quarterly deployments of large numbers. But also flexibility. Officers know what works. They reorder the same kits. Same magnets. Same power solution. Same reliability. We work with their purchasing team to move fast when an officer needs equipment. No delays. No compromises.
A national police force needs a partner who can scale. Who can deploy hundreds of systems one quarter and ship individual kits to officers the next. TRIO handles both.
One System, Infinite Configurations
That's the real win here. RCMP's fleet diversity stopped being a constraint. With the right mounting attachments and power solutions, every vehicle type works. Every deployment scenario works. Officers in the field get what they need. Headquarters gets predictability. Supply chains stay simple.
One system. Infinite configurations. That's how TRIO powers connectivity across Canada.
National scale. Local flexibility. Proven in Canada's harshest conditions.
