Mobile Industry Review
With preconfigured Rapid Deployment Units and GSM services as part of Rapid Deployment Vehicle based solutions, a Private Mobile Network can be deployed rapidly at remote locations or when contingency communications is required. Rapid GSM is particularly suited to mining, shipping, emergency services and tactical deployment situations.
On power-up, Rapid GSM takes around five minutes for the network to be fully operational. The unit can be fully pre-configured with the required number of GSM handsets, each with an individual extension number.
GSM in Emergency Situations.
In an emergency situation, a key consideration is to control and contain the scene. Key to this is an effective communications strategy with an emphasis on field personnel. The ability to remain in contact with your colleagues and operational centres could be the difference between a controlled situation and one which would be potentially hazardous for both service personnel and the general public.
A standard method of communication would be to utilise the macro GSM networks. However, it has been the case that macro GSM networks have been closed down to remove the risk of cellular control of remote devices. Also, in situations that are in densely populated areas, the sheer volume of cellular traffic at the scene can cause network congestion which severely restricts communication.
The Private Mobile Network Rapid GSM solution overcomes these obstacles by generating its own secure, private GSM network regardless of macro network conditions.
GSM in Temporary Situations
Due to its portability and ease of deployment, Rapid GSM can also be used as a method of providing temporary telephony services. One such use would be within the construction and service industries where new sites, typically, have no fixed telephony infrastructure and may be in remote or restrictive environments. Rapid GSM enables immediate network availability on the site and can be configured with a backhaul link into the public network.
Delays in starting work on the project can be avoided with the use of mobile devices, enhancing site communications along with the added advantage that all calls within the the Private Mobile Network are free of charge
