Redoubt in Alaska.

The purpose of the trailer is to provide a communication link in the event that CVO needs to respond to a Cascade volcanic crisis at a volcano that is currently under-monitored (includes all Cascade volcanoes except Mount St. Helens). The trailer will be a relay point to provide instant telecommunications for new instruments emplaced around the volcano during the crisis.
