Hamburg Fire Brigade Relies on Frequentis Technology for Emergency Call Prioritisation

Curated by: Gert Jan Wolf - Editor-in Chief for The Critical Communications Review

The Hamburg fire brigade is increasingly challenged by a temporary rise in emergency calls during extreme weather events. In total, the Hamburg fire brigade receives around one million calls per year. In crisis situations, such as severe weather conditions, the number of callers can rise significantly within a short period of time. With Frequentis' LifeX communication system, the organisation is better equipped to respond faster and more precisely during critical situations. This system is also used by the Hamburg police, functioning as the central communication platform in their control centres.

“Given the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, we consider our collaboration with the Hamburg fire brigade to be groundbreaking,” says Marcel Haar, Managing Director of Frequentis Germany. “We are proud to contribute to a faster and more efficient emergency response in Hamburg with this innovative solution, ensuring the department is well-prepared for future operational needs.”
