Microbase offered to the Association of Friends of the Voluntary Fire Brigade of Penteli six state-of-the-art radios, with 4G technology, to cover its business needs.
These new devices will be used for intercommunication between the combat forces and the coordinating instruments, giving, besides the voice communication, the possibility of location sharing and the transmission of images and sound from the event through a secure environment without the possibility of malicious interference. Having in mind the bad moments of the fires in our country, which the rescuer-heroes are ordered to “fight”, but also admiring the institution of volunteering, we gladly proceeded to support their need for communication and better coordination.
The Head of the Voluntary Fire Brigade of Penteli, Fire Warrant Officer Mr Nikolaos Liakos, stated that “telecommunications between the units operating in the field and the coordinating bodies are a key factor for the positive outcome of an event. We are very pleased with your offer, and I assure you that we will make the most of the possibilities that the new radios give us.”
We consider that the multifaceted services of the staff of the Voluntary Fire Brigade are of exceptional importance, since they are next to the citizen, often with self-sacrifice. Facilitating the team communication is the least we can do, to support their work. We wish them as few bad experiences as possible always being strong in their rescue work.
