Abstract
A method of and relay for connecting communication networks. In one example, the relay is a non-collocated relay that includes a plurality of antennas including a first antenna and a second antenna and an antenna scanner connected to the plurality of antennas. The antenna scanner is configured to survey the plurality of antennas for signals from a first base station of a first incident area network and a second base station of a second incident area network. The non-collocated relay also includes a first user device and a second user device communicatively coupled to each other and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to connect the first antenna receiving a signal from the first base station to the first user device and connect the second antenna receiving a signal from the second base station to the second user device.
