The Korean National Emergency Management Agency provides national coverage of disaster management including fire, Emergency Medical Systems and rescue needs from 16 local province headquarters with 205 stations and 30,000 employees. Previously hampered by its reliance on landline phones, the agency struggled to ascertain rescue information and inform responders. Since implementing a gpsOne-enabled 3G mobile broadband system, the agency now has the ability to pinpoint the locations of callers, access a nationwide database for victim locations, obtain contact information of relatives and transmit information and video to assist responders transporting patients to hospitals.
