The under CDL cabover COLT was developed to meet the needs of those whose requirements are more than what a van solution can offer.  This cabover design offers increased weight carrying capacity in a small package, offering up to 19,500-lbs GVW vs. the Sprinter van's 11,030-lbs GVW.  The maneuverability of this truck is better than that of a comparable sized van due to the short wheelbase and tight turning radius of the cabover design.  This makes for a perfect inner-city solution.

Satellite COLT

FirstNet Non-CDL SAT COLT Cell On Light Truck

Sun West’s Satellite Cell on Light Truck (SAT COLT), is a mobile cell site that connects to the carrier’s network via a satellite link when a backhaul link is absent or has been disrupted.  These vehicles have a patented fold over antenna mounting system that allows the antennas and Mil-Spec coax to stay permanently connected, drastically speeding deployment time.  While these COLTS can be connected to commercial power, they don’t have to rely on commercial power availability since they have on-board generators. This makes them preferable in disaster situations where utility power may be unavailable.
