Disaster can basically ruin all land-based communication infrastructures. As communication to the outside world is critical, SONbuddy enables instant communication and tight collaboration among team members even if the local infrastructure has been destroyed.  
       
 
Instant and secure wireless network. An instant and infrastructure-less mesh network can be formed amidst the communication breakdown. Furthermore, you can rest assured that all data sent and communicated are extremely secured using SONbuddy’s VPN feature.  
       
  Information sharing. With SONbuddy’s file pushing capability, rescue team can send reports of an accident right on the spot with their portable devices. Photos and video clips can be channeled back to the headquarters or media centre for further dissemination using an Internet-enabled SONbuddy gateway.  
       
  Enhanced network coverage. SONbuddy’s optimization for non-line-of-sight and range extension capability allows rescue team to reach workers who are originally unreachable due to the blockage of walls and other obstacles inside the building. SONbuddy also lets you know who’s available, thus helping you to keep track of functioning devices within your vicinity. .
