PCCW Global & Telecoms Sans Frontieres receive official recognition for critical communications services

PCCW Global and Telecoms Sans Frontieres (TSF) have received official recognition from the Mozambique National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC) for their combined and ongoing mission to provide critical communications services following the two tropical cyclones which recently hit the country. Supported by PCCW Global’s team in Mozambique, TSF was among the first humanitarian organizations to reach Beira, which was only accessible by air in the wake of Idai’s devastation.

One VSAT communications system was installed in the Matarara coordination center, from which relief operations to five surrounding communities were conducted. A second VSAT was also installed at the Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) cholera treatment center in Mafambisse. A further two VSATs provided by PCCW Global have been handed over to Mozambique’s INGC, enabling the organisation to rapidly deploy critical communications for any similar emergency in the country.
