en.Wedoany.com Reported - Telecom operator Telia has launched a modular emergency communication solution called Telia Rikslänk, which combines equipment such as drones, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and tripods to quickly establish temporary mobile network coverage in crisis situations or hard-to-reach areas. This new solution represents a further expansion of emergency communication capabilities following its previously released mobile emergency vehicle, Nordlänk RSQ.

The modular design of Telia Rikslänk allows component configurations to be adjusted based on specific missions and terrain. Drones can be equipped with radio equipment, suitable for rapidly establishing coverage from the air; ATVs are responsible for transporting communication equipment to hard-to-reach locations; and tripods provide stable mounting for devices such as 4G, 5G, and satellite antennas. When necessary, the solution can also be supplemented with additional components and carriers, such as communication vehicles. Together, these modules form a local mobile network comprising base stations, energy supply, and fiber optic or satellite connections.

This emergency coverage solution is primarily aimed at critical societal functions and total defense participants, while also being applicable to various scenarios. In forest fires, drones can provide real-time video of the fire scene and establish mobile communication coverage for on-site rescue personnel. At accident and damage sites, the solution can quickly establish a communication zone, supporting rescue services in sharing images, coordinating actions, and maintaining contact with command centers. For civilian tasks, such as forestry, agriculture, and surveying work in hard-to-reach areas, ATVs can transport equipment to the site, after which drones raise antennas to create temporary coverage areas for real-time data collection and communication.

Staffan Åkesson, Telia's Chief Technology Officer, stated that the company is investing in developing solutions for robust and secure communication during crises and emergencies. He noted that the modular approach has become a success factor in places like Ukraine and is also the core of the new integrated solution. By combining mobile networks with fiber optic or satellite connections and different types of portable equipment, more opportunities can be created to establish mobile coverage, even when regular infrastructure is missing or has been destroyed. He also mentioned that through modular and lightweight components, connections can be quickly established where needed, from forest fires to accident scenes. During the NATO summit in May, some components of these modules were used in conjunction with liaison vehicles to enhance preparedness and strengthen existing capabilities.
