When a natural disaster strikes, one of the first things that often fail is the area's communication network. First responders can't use their phones to call or to access the Internet as network access is knocked out.
Meet the Tactical Humanitarian Operations Response (aka THOR) vehicle that's recently unveiled by Verizon Frontline. The vehicle is equipped to bring 5G and satellite connectivity to help first responders and military personnel. The truck even has an onboard tethered drone to assist in search and rescue operations.
According to the company, "with capabilities ranging from mobile, private 5G UWB to satellite, to commercial and onboard drone options, to the ability to be operated remotely from a tablet, THOR could be considered the Swiss-Army Knife of Verizon Frontline services."
