Quick means of communication is one of the vital needs at the time of major crisis and disaster and Counter terror activities.

The irony is that public telecom networks are of no help when it is most needed. The The irony is that public telecom networks are of no help when it is most needed. The normal telecom networks are designed for optimum busy hour telephone use of a routine day. The systems get choked due to sudden spurt in usage in case of any calamity. Failure due to overload in any one system can cause congestion and failure of other systems in the network also.

It is impossible to design a public telephone network that is capable of handling the sudden spurt of telephone traffic of sporadic nature that happen at the time of any major events, crisis and disaster.

The way out is to have a private Wireless telecom network exclusively for essential services such as security, army, police, ambulance, hospitals, road transport & traffic control, air traffic control, railways and important persons/ organizations and local administration, that are vital in the crisis control/disaster management system.

India internet cloud. It is also necessary to build an exclusive India internet cloud to make available secure internet network and connectivity for nation's various needs and uses.

Private and exclusively government owned high security GSM network are being used in some countries for this purpose could be adopted in India also. During normal situation such systems could be used for the day to day needs of city administration, security and other needs. By design, these are non-blocking, full availability systems for congestion free service at the 'switching center' level as well as at the 'access network' levels.

Interconnects to Public networks could be a vailable on normal situation, but it would be capable to filter or block these to avoid flooding of calls from other networks during emergency situations.

With these systems and network in place, it would be possible to keep up fail proof With these systems and network in place, it would be possible to keep up fail proof communication between the vital points to receive information and pass on orders immediately from central control to various points to take appropriate action in case of cyclone, flood, fire, earthquake, terrorist activities, bomb scare, mob violence or major traffic hold up situations. It shall be possible to access the communications systems of Suburban railway and road transport from this network to contact and pass orders for immediate actions. Bomb scare alarms and announcement system shall be available in every railway compartment.

Such systems in different cities could be networked for integrated action of security needs and events and crisis of national importance. It is possible to have centralized database and control servers in one of the systems and shared by other networks.

In addition to such private GSM Network, other infrastructures for crisis management also shall be in place. Vital things are:

1) A centralized administrative body to take over and exercise over all control and coordination.

2) A research and consultant group to constantly improvise the systems in every sphere, technology, strategy, administration etc., according to changing needs.

3) A contingent of specially trained persons in every city.

4) Necessary infrastructure such as modern weapons, armor and ammunition.

5) Protected vehicles, helicopters, airplanes, fire tenders and etc pre-loaded and fully equipped in operational ready condition.

6) The network can support Universal Unique Identification code project for providing access to the intelligent chip in UUID cards or devices. Access to UUID database will become a vital tool to fight against terrorism, localized as well as imported. Please see my blog: http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-9m my blog: http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-9m

Economic feasibility: A system that has full coverage of the entire city and suburbs would be expensive. Cost could be brought down by sharing the towers of Public telecom service providers.

Viability using the systems and network for Value-added-services to offset the cost of implementation of network.

The network could be deployed to provide, many value added services such as pre-paid / post paid charging of vehicle parking, GPS enabled traffic navigation system, and other Government purpose multi-media services., using Wireless Telephony technology linked with Intelligent Network Server to generate revenue. Please see my blogs:

1) Innovative system for autonomous charging of Road toll and Parking space usage.

2) Universal Money Management by phone. http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-4g

3) IT based ideas to reduce Train accidents. http://wp.me/s1ZsI2-39

With availability of ADHAR, the network could be used for it and for directly controlling various govt. sponsored welfare schemes. Few centralized systems could cover the need of such services for the whole country by suitable OFC long haul and Wireless short haul networking.
