Jeonnam Fire Department Builds 'Firefighting-Dedicated Communication Network'... Enhancing Stability

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Fire Department has established a 'firefighting-dedicated communication infrastructure.' The dedicated and independent secure communication network for firefighting has significantly enhanced safety.

According to the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters on the 17th, the construction of the firefighting-dedicated communication network was promoted to accommodate IT environment changes related to firefighting duties such as the transition to national positions and to strengthen the stability of the firefighting communication network.

Jeonnam Fire Department separated the communication network into six networks according to the nature of the work, such as work network and emergency rescue network, prioritizing stability to ensure independent survivability in any situation, and also enhanced security by introducing dedicated security equipment.

This project started in December last year and completed the construction of the entire firefighting communication network in the Jeonnam area with new transmission equipment and communication networks.

It recently underwent stabilization verification procedures and is now fully switched over and in operation.

In particular, the communication network between the Fire Headquarters and each fire station was built using the next-generation transmission network PTN (Packet Transport Network) method, guaranteeing bandwidth and stability of over 10G.

Securing bandwidth eight times wider than before allows for flexible and scalable service accommodation.

Additionally, proactive transmission network construction considering future demand was completed, including the relocation of the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters to the new Jangheung building at the end of the year and the establishment of new fire stations in the province.

Ma Jaeyoon, head of the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, said, “With the development of information and communication technology, many changes are expected in firefighting field activities,” and added, “Please play a pivotal role in the field of information and communication.”
