Disaster Communication
For over 2 decades now my work involved connecting remote areas and locations via wireless & wired communication technologies.
It started with terrestrial analog TV and 2-way radio in the 80s then I became fascinated with long-range phone extenders in the 90s. The phone extender can haul a dial-tone using a pair of high-power full-duplex radio with external yagi antenna for connection ranging up to 100-200km point-to-point. It was amazing to call local and long-distance a Davao, Manila or an international number from a remote community bereft of communication services. Mobile phone and SMS was still in infancy. Our group installed many phone extenders and PCO/LEC in remote isolated villages for operators and private companies.
My stint with a telco in early 2000s had me handling Wireless Local Loop (WLL) or simply called wireless phone local-exchange service with signal coverage up to 30km radius from base station. With it, I spearheaded the establishment of Public Calling Office (PCO) and small community telephone or mini local-exchange (LEC) in remote rural communities. The phone system later expanded to offer DSL internet using microwave and IP-Radio to haul internet from city to remote areas.
From handling WLL in 2003 I was re-assigned to handle a sales territory in 2007 to market Data Services, DSL, LEC and the new mobile wireless phone using CDMA technology which our company offered to compliment GSM but under a different business model . Of course, the technical training was important. It was the first wireless mobile landline phone service with a fixed monthly as opposed to GSM phone service with roaming capability. The CDMA also was capable of internet of up to 384Kbps a big improvement from 56Kbps dial-up internet.
Wireless ISP (WISP) using WLAN or so-called IP-Radio and Wi-Fi became the fad. I worked with pioneering people providing dedicated internet to local WISP, cable operators and internet cafes. It was at this point I decided to become a systems integrator. The year was 2010 when I became a full-fledged communication systems integrator on project-base.
From 2010 until today, connecting and delivering voice, data, video and internet traffic for private and government customers was my occupation. It was good toiling in a difficult landscape while constantly facing hard competition and rapid technology changes. Technology changes was always constant in the equation. The task of a Systems Integrator is enhancing operational and business continuity. The total-solution we offer covers wired/wireless connectivity over LAN/WAN and internet for a myriad of application and implementations options including VSAT, back-up power, security, lightning-protection and many others.
Me thinks I was being prepared for this. I had a short stint (two terms totalling 6-years) as municipal councilor of Bansalan (Davao del Sur) my hometown. I've worked with several LGU customers so I know the level of connectivity there is between Barangays and municipal office in terms of existing network infra. Except for some technology-savvy LGUs there is really no communication lane (virtual hi-way) between the Barangays and municipal except for 2-way radio and little bit of internet. But how would an LGU manage to conduct on-line messaging, on-line virtual meetings, web and video-conferencing, live-streaming and social-media networking when INTERNET is down. When INFRA and Communication Systems are down there has to be way to communicate and transmit information to the incident command room.
I am blessed to have access, knowledge and actual experience. I know a workaround for this challenging and fearful disaster-scenarios.
