Advancements in Communication Technology
Many wireless broadband companies are innovating solutions to deal with any emergencies during the lockdown period with the advancements in communication technology across the globe especially post-pandemic. For instance, in 2021, Speedcast installed wireless connectivity solution on the islands of Providencia and San Andrés, after the islands were devastated by Hurricane Iota in November 2020. The islands have greater capacity and speed, enabling their communities to reactivate their economy, communicate with their family members, and connect to the world, owing to this initiative.
Furthermore, with advancements in communication technology rural areas are able to access broadband services and government official’s use these cutting-edge communication technologies to provide public safety in any emergency situations such as, hurricanes, floods, and forest fires. For instance, Ligado’s Wireless Mutual Aid Radio Talkgroups (SMART) is nationwide and regional program of interoperable public safety talk groups operating on the Ligado mobile wireless services network. These advancements and innovative communication technology products and services drive the growth of the wireless broadband in public safety industry.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
COVID-19 pandemic impacted the overall economy and wireless broadband market. In addition, with increase in demand for faster internet connectivity among rural & younger population, various governments and NGO initiate the service of wireless broadband among these segments. In addition, the NGOs are trying to implement wireless broadband in rural areas to increase the interaction of tribal people with rest of the world. Moreover, with increase in digitalization and work from home business model, police officers & firefighters are able to connect with their offices and respond instantly with fast wireless broadband connection in remote areas.
In addition, wireless-based emergency communications systems are not affected by any local conditions like hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, or any other man-made or natural event. Hence, it is able to help emergency workers to work without hindrance of insufficient information. Furthermore, with the increase in shift of work from home during COVID-19 many workers shifted to their home towns in rural area. In addition, with the implementation of lockdown and lower public interactions the number of criminal cases increased in rural areas. With the adoption of wireless broadband in rural areas, police officers are able to react instantly to provide public safety.
