Operators support emergency comms in Malaysia and Bangladesh
Mobile network firms in Malaysia and Bangladesh are shoring up emergency communications as climate-related disasters intensify.
In Malaysia, CelcomDigi has detailed how it is supporting flood relief operations. The operator says it is working to keep its network running in affected areas, prioritising service continuity so responders and residents can stay connected during severe weather and rising waters.
In Bangladesh, tower company Edotco Bangladesh has announced a new partnership focused on disaster preparedness. The agreement aims to harden network infrastructure, improve response planning, and ensure telecom sites can stay online or recover quickly when cyclones, floods or other emergencies hit.
Both moves underline how operators in disaster-prone markets are being pushed into a frontline role, keeping basic communications available when public services are under strain.
