During times of crisis such as floods, wildfires or terrorist attacks, it is crucial for people to have confidence in the efficient arrival of police officers, paramedics, firefighters and other emergency responders. However, ensuring this requires effort. First responders rely heavily on information regarding the location of individuals in need and their specific requirements. Furthermore effective communication across departments and with the public is essential.
Continuous mobile connectivity plays a role in enabling responders to share critical information and resources seamlessly. For instance, if someone loses consciousness due to a car accident on a motorway, network based triangulation allows emergency response to swiftly dispatch emergency teams to the victims location. When combined with GPS tracking capabilities that assist dispatchers in optimising routes and reducing estimated time of arrival (ETAs), this information can even save lives.

Moreover during crises, flexible and adaptable network coverage becomes a lifesaver for emergency response personnel. As an example of technology by Ericsson; they have developed a portable 150 g cellular network mounted on a drone which can be deployed indoors or outdoors. Even when cell towers are unavailable or overwhelmed with phone calls, amidst a disaster.
Utilising the latest technology for emergency communication ensures that crucial mobile devices used by emergency services receive priority over other network traffic especially in densely populated areas during peak times. Additionally this approach enables upgrades to the technologies granting emergency services access to essential digital tools and resources.
