How Do Wireless Companies Restore Service After a Disaster?

Listen to this podcast.

One of the major stories coming out of Hurricane Ian and the disaster impacts being felt in Florida is the need to restore communications. Cellular services are important in our modern portfolio of communications systems. They support voice, data and video.

Earlier this year I did a Disaster Zone podcast on this topic: “T-Mobile’s Emergency Response Team.”

This will give you a good primer on how one company organizes to respond to disasters.
