Telefonica, S.A. TEF, in partnership with 112 Extremadura, has unveiled a pilot service utilizing cutting-edge technologies to enhance the speed, efficiency and reliability of emergency interventions. This innovative initiative leverages Telefonica’s advanced 5G+ Network Slicing technology and a cloud-based Push-To-Talk (“PTT”) solution to improve communications for emergency teams during rescue and recovery missions.
The service enables 112 Extremadura's emergency units to seamlessly share audio, video and real-time location data during operations. This ensures smooth, prioritized and real-time communication, fostering effective coordination among team members. The solution expands on traditional walkie-talkie capabilities by integrating modern features like video calls, secure messaging, video sharing and live-location tracking. From a centralized control hub, these features allow for agile and precise management of emergency scenarios.
To support operations in challenging conditions, rugged 5G+ terminals, designed for extreme temperatures and environments, have been provided to rescue teams. These devices are water-resistant, usable with gloves and can be securely attached to different parts of the body, ensuring uninterrupted communication in the most adverse situations.
Telefonica’s advanced technology integration for 112 Extremadura sets a new benchmark for emergency communications in Europe. With 5G+ Network Slicing, a dedicated network portion guarantees uninterrupted connectivity for emergency services, even during congestion, across urban and rural areas. Additionally, a cloud-based PTT solution enriches traditional communication with features like video sharing, secure messaging and real-time location tracking, paving the way for future-ready emergency response systems.
