VoIP Service for the Katrina affected
Katrina devastated cities in America got back their voice with PingTone VoIP service provided by Proactive Communications. After the violent hurricane destroyed most telephone and data lines, high quality communication was set up by Proactive with ground based satellite systems using Pingtones VoIP phone service. In spite of lack of power, buildings and transmission lines, deserted family members and aid workers were able to keep in touch with the rest of the world using the service.
Proactive has been providing communication infrastructure to far flung and difficult regions of the world like in Iran and Afghanistan. The portable satellite terminals used are very convenient to carry and can be set up at any place.
The PingTone VoIP service that Proactive uses gives amazing voice clarity and other features. The use of phones by Cisco Systems adds further to its quality. This is the first time that such a service has been used as a part of disaster relief. The results have been very good and encouraging for everyone concerned.home.businesswire.com reports:
Proactive personnel are able to setup portable satellite terminals just about anywhere local, state or federal first responders need them to: tents, a warehouse or even the back of a truck. These "data networks in a box" give workers and residents immediate phone service, email and Web access."
