Emergency Connectivity for Disaster Response & Grid Restoration

Deployable, interoperable connectivity that gives restoration teams temporary coverage, mobile command capabilities and high-volume video the moment storms, wildfires or major outages strike.

Extreme weather and major incidents damage normal communications exactly when restoration teams need them most.
Why this "Emergency Connectivity" challenge?
Bringing connectivity into degraded conditions fast

Storms, wildfires, floods and major outages change communications requirements rapidly, calling for temporary coverage, mobile command capabilities, high-volume video and location information for assets normally served by fixed infrastructure. A temporary loss of a non-critical application is not the same as losing communications with a protection, control or emergency-response process, so priorities must be set before the incident begins.

Key benefits
Ready connectivity before the storm hits

Deployable connectivity kits help utilities bring restoration teams online quickly, wherever fixed infrastructure has failed or never reached.

Command stays connected when infrastructure fails

Mobile and satellite access combine with incident command so restoration teams stay connected even where fixed infrastructure is down.

check icon
Temporary teams onboard without security shortcuts

Automated secure onboarding brings temporary teams and devices online quickly without compromising identity or security standards.

check icon
Every incident starts from a playbook

Pre-designed connectivity kits and priority profiles mean every incident starts from a ready-to-deploy configuration instead of improvisation.

Readiness checked before it is needed

Restoration exercises and readiness monitoring confirm deployable connectivity actually works before the next storm, wildfire or outage arrives.

Secure onboarding for temporary teams and devices is automated so identity and access controls hold up under incident pressure.

Empowering teams with no-code content capabilities
04
Run restoration exercises and readiness checks

Restoration exercises and readiness monitoring are run regularly so deployable connectivity is proven before it is needed.

Railway Operations Restored
05
Weigh recovery expectations against everyday cost

Cyber risk, recovery expectations, coverage and the long lifecycle of utility assets all shape how emergency connectivity is designed and funded.

AI-Driven Contact Center Experience
Connected industrial assets using real-time data to improve operational visibility, planning and resilience
Proven impact
Restoration teams reach damaged sites with mobile command, satellite backup and secure onboarding ready before the next storm or wildfire arrives.
Results that matter
What readiness actually buys utilities

Alongside faster readiness before the next storm, these indicative targets vary by incident severity, terrain and kit readiness.

Command stays live when the grid goes dark

Mobile command and satellite backup keep restoration teams connected, with baseline and target availability levels confirmed during assessment.

check icon
Every damaged site reachable within the plan

Pre-designed kits extend coverage to storm and wildfire zones instead of leaving sites to improvised fixes.

check icon
Kits deploy in minutes, not days

Pre-designed connectivity kits and tested playbooks shorten the time needed to bring restoration teams online after an incident.

check icon
Temporary access never skips a security check

Automated onboarding keeps identity and security checks in place even when temporary teams join under incident pressure.

Be ready for the next storm before it hits

Pre-design connectivity kits and priority profiles so restoration teams deploy fast and stay secure the moment an emergency begins.
