Nordic Fire Service
A Jola partner required a connectivity solution for the Nordic Fire Service. The service relies on smart pagers to notify volunteer firefighters when there is an emergency. They needed an alternative to the existing local in country supplier as a single carrier network could not supply the reliable coverage they required.
The Challenge
Reliable connectivity was crucial to ensure volunteer firefighters could respond to emergencies; connectivity had to be available 24/7. The solution had to be cost-effective, and data needed to be pooled, to avoid wastage. The fire service had to be able to activate new devices quickly.
The Jola Solution
Jola proposed EE M2M UK/EU/US, a single SIM with access to three different networks to ensure reliable, 24/7 connectivity. Jola included a 500MB aggregated data pool across the SIM estate to avoid any wastage. The fire service has direct access to Mobile Manager, Jola’s SIM management portal to allow them to activate SIMs, to get new devices up and running quickly and easily.
The Feedback
There was increased network resilience across the devices. Sharing data across all the SIMs has lowered costs. All information is visible in one portal, which is easy to manage and it’s easy and fast to activate new devices.
