IN a country facing an average of 20 typhoons each year, reliable communication during disasters can mean the difference between life and death. The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) addresses this challenge head-on by deploying 17 Government Agency Communications Boxes (Commsbox) across the Philippines.
In partnership with internet service provider Stellarsat Solutions Inc. and Kacific Broadband Satellites, this initiative ensures uninterrupted connectivity during emergencies, even in the most remote regions.
The Department of Information and Communications Technology’s deployment of the Government Agency Communications Boxes or Commsbox units across all 17 regions aims to prevent communication failures, particularly in isolated and remote areas, by providing high-speed, reliable connectivity during crises.
