Those from Leiria and Pombal should expect to install Starlink antennas within 20 minutes to find communication channels.
The initiative is from Grupo Bel, entrepreneur Marco Galinha – the main activist of Diário de Notícias – who is a natural from the western direction. A source of the group confirmed to DN the acquisition of the equipment in case of service interruption in the region.
According to the same source, an order of 20 antennas has now been placed, with an expected distribution of 12 units for the package from Leiria and one for the package from Pombal. The device must be briefly checked in accordance with local authorities to ensure that it is installed.
The passage of Storm Kristin in the district of Leiria causes severe damage to electrical and telecommunication infrastructure, knocking out various frequencies without access to mobile network or internet. The problem of traditional operators’ repairs is that it is difficult to ensure that the flames and damage at the transmission point are difficult.
The Starlink technology solution, which works through a network of low-orbit satellites, will allow broadband connections to be maintained on up to 20 frequencies. The aim is to enable community groups to restore communication capacity for both emergency services and the public.
Food supply
In parallel with the technological strengthening, the group makes water and food available through Poupança, or cash & carry from the organization. This announcement was made by Marco Galinha, CEO of Grupo Bel, across the company’s networks.
This logistical assistance is intended to strengthen sustainment reserves in the areas for local trade and access to essential goods for the effects of the storm and regulatory flooding.
