BOULDER, Colo.—Misión Telecom, a nonprofit telecommunications provider expanding access to fast and affordable connectivity, today announced the launch of a new offering for natural disaster preparedness. The RESPOND (Rapid Emergency Support & Preparedness Offer for Network Deployment) Kit is a hotspot and broadband solution to help communities stay connected before, during, and after disasters. The announcement comes during National Preparedness Month, as communities nationwide prepare for fire and hurricane season and more.
“When natural disasters strike, reliable internet is a necessity for safety, survival, and recovery,” said Rhea Yaw Ching, Executive Director of Mission Telecom. “From accessing aid applications to coordinating community response, connectivity is as essential as shelter. Our mission is to close the digital divide and ensure that every community has affordable, reliable connectivity when it matters most.”
Powered by Mission Telecom on the T-Mobile network, but with nonprofit-friendly costs, the RESPOND Kit provides significant cost savings of up to 50% off the retail price, and:
- Unlimited Connectivity in Critical Moments – Sin cargos por exceso de uso en la mejor red 5G.
- Rapid Mobile Hotspot Kit Deployment – Ofrece conectividad rápida y lista para usar con dispositivos 4G y 5G cuando se interrumpen las conexiones de fibra o cable.
- Direct Disaster Response Support – Asesoramiento experto cuando más lo necesitas.
- Scalable Plans – Ampliar la capacidad en situaciones de emergencia y reducirla tras la recuperación.
- Advanced Tool Power – Velocidades ultrarrápidas y baja latencia para drones, video en tiempo real e inteligencia artificial.
A medida que los desastres naturales se vuelven más frecuentes y graves, Mission Telecom ayuda a las comunidades a fortalecer su resiliencia y autosuficiencia equipando a los equipos de primera línea, los pilares de la comunidad y las organizaciones sin fines de lucro dedicadas al socorro en casos de desastre con las herramientas necesarias para prepararse de manera proactiva y apoyar a sus vecinos cuando se produce un desastre.
