Huge natural disasters such as earthquakes usually cause a shutdown of the communications infrastructure. Many types of communications equipment are affected by the power failures and destruction of communication lines, leaving the affected area an isolated island. Emergency communication plays a crucial role in disaster relief.



What's needed:

Every first responder plays a different role and thus has varied communication needs. For instance, commanders need to have field awareness through real-time images and videos in order to make informed decisions, while field workers need smooth and crisp voice services. To meet every need, it is often necessary to deploy multiple communication systems. However, these systems are not always compatible, which means they cannot ensure fast connectivity and keep everyone connected in the aftermath of a disaster. 



BelFone Convergence Narrowband Broadband Hybrid Solution

As a leading solution provider of mission critical communications with over 30 years of R&D experience in DMR, MESH and PoC, BelFone tackles all the challenges of on-site critical communications one by one with a communication network that covers the last mile in the affected area. BelFone MESH Convergence Narrowband Broadband Hybrid Solution is designed to eliminate communication blind spots in the aftermath of disasters and keep everyone connected. The solution integrates various radio communication technologies and provides rich command& dispatch features to connect every rescue node and region in the affected areas, realizing unified command and overall control of field communication, and meeting the requirements of lightweight, integration and visualization of emergency equipment on the emergency scene.



System Features:

Flexible: Huge natural disasters such as earthquakes usually come with a shutdown of the communications infrastructure. When all other means of communication fail, BelFone’s portable dual-frequency ad-hoc devices can be deployed via vehicles or rescue workers, quickly establishing a communication link between the site and the command center.


Reliable: Emergency disaster relief often require the cooperation of different departments. Each department, however, has their own communication network as well as devices, which makes it difficult for first responders from different departments to effectively communicate and cooperate. BelFone Convergence Narrowband Broadband Hybrid Solution integrates satellite communication, 4G network, UHF, microwave, Mesh and other communication protocols to ensure the interconnection between systems and thus enable cross-department cooperation as well as multi-level command. The solution greatly improves the efficiency of on-site cooperation.


Real-time: The system is compatible with both digital and analog devices, and able to connect different networks. It delivers a comprehensive feature kit which includes voice, data, positioning and tracking to achieve unified command and dispatch. Moreover, BelFone convergent smart portable radios can transmit onsite information to system platform via images, videos, etc. 



In real life application, BelFone Convergence Narrowband Broadband Hybrid Solution can solve various communication needs of departments and personnel at different levels in a quick, timely, and efficient manner. In this way, the system ensures seamless communication for all, field workers and central commanders alike.
