Το «σακίδιο» της Vodafone μπορεί να προσφέρει έως και πέντε ταυτόχρονες κλήσεις, σε μία ακτίνα 100 μέτρων και να επιτρέψει την Mission γραπτών μηνυμάτων σε χιλιάδες αποδέκτες, μηνύματα που θα μπορούσαν να περιέχουν κρίσιμες πληροφορίες για την επιβίωσή τους.
Vodafone Foundation, the charity arm of Vodafone, has launched the Instant Network Mini, a portable mobile network that fits inside a backpack and weighs less than 11kg.
The Instant Network Mini can be up and running within ten minutes, allowing for employees in organizations supply assistance to have uninterrupted communication, in cases of natural disasters.
Its great advantage is the fact that it can be carried as an ordinary luggage from any means of transportation and can be used by personnel with minimal technical knowledge.
Vodafone's "backpack" can offer up to five simultaneous calls over a 100 meter range and allow text messaging to thousands of recipients, messages that could contain crucial survival information.
The 2G GSM network is used to operate the system. More specifically, the base of the GSM transmission station is connected and hosted by the wider telecommunications network via satellite connection.
Vodafone's Instant Network Mini is an evolution of Instant Network, a portable network that is transported in a total of four suitcases and weighs about 100 pounds. Of course, the original system offers a significantly longer operating range, which can reach up to five kilometers.
This system was developed in the Philippines, 24 hours after the hurricane hit in November of 2013. Through Instant Network, it was possible to send 1,4 million text and 443.288 phone calls over 29 days.
The Mini version of Instant Network was developed, on behalf of the Vodafone Foundation, by Vodafone Spain, Huawei and Telecoms Sans Frontières.
