First Responders Benefit from Advancements in Communication

Situational awareness, and the ability to communicate, are two critical factors that must be maintained in order to progress with any rescue operation. When there is a breakdown in communication during a disaster, the situation usually tends to persist for a while before rapidly deteriorating.

However, with recent advancements in technology giving us new options, companies have been moving quickly to design new communication systems that take advantage of these options.

Products like the Entree Wireless Mobile Communication System promise to provide first responders with a comprehensive communication system that includes a video network and a bubble of Wifi that can be deployed in preparation for, or in response to, a disaster in a matter of minutes.

Powered by a large battery, the system is self contained and rugged enough to survive in a hostile environment. At the recent MOBEX joint disaster exercise, a mobile communication system was deployed at the site of a simulated building collapse and used as a training tool.

Rescue teams used the day to hone their skills on the new equipment that is playing an increasingly important role in how they do their jobs every day. Every second is precious when saving lives, and with a set up time of just a few minutes, the new communication system from Entree Wireless looks to be a good weapon to add to the arsenal of our already brave and skilled first responders.
