Innovation That Saves Lives in Earthquakes
Communication Revolution with PECS
During natural disasters and crises, the interruption of communication lines greatly reduces the effectiveness of search and rescue operations. However, Turkish technology company SigintOS has offered a revolutionary solution to this problem: PECS – Portable Emergency Communication System. This portable emergency communication system makes it possible to communicate with people trapped under the rubble, especially in disasters such as earthquakes.
What is PECS and Why is it Life-Saving?
PECS is a system that works as a portable GSM base station. It can be activated even when the mobile communication infrastructure in disaster areas collapses and communicate with mobile phones in the area. One of the most striking features of the system is that it can broadcast simultaneously as two different operators. In this way, mobile phones in the area can automatically connect to PECS regardless of which operator they are connected to.
The system, which can collect the IMSI information of phones under the rubble, allows rescue teams to access the identity information of the phone owner. This speeds up operations and helps rescue efforts to be carried out more effectively. PECS also allows people to communicate with rescue teams with its voice call and SMS sending features.
Technological Features and Areas of Use
PECS is designed as a portable bag weighing only 9 kg. It can work continuously for up to 8 hours with the battery inside and can be used even while charging. The system, which can operate in a wide range of frequencies, can broadcast on all GSM bands and spread signals up to an area of 100 meters in diameter and can increase this area to 200 meters with more powerful antennas.
PECS’s areas of use are not limited to search and rescue operations. This system, which is also used effectively in military and intelligence fields, also offers a vital solution for teams working in difficult conditions such as mountaineering and maritime. SigintOS emphasizes that it is critical for this versatile solution to be used especially in search and rescue teams, security forces and disaster management units.
Founder: A Visionary Expert
The name behind PECS is Murat Şişman, who stands out with his innovative leadership and vision of integrating technology into humanitarian aid. He is known for his deep interest in technology and sensitivity to search and rescue operations. Şişman, who also has books and academic studies in the field of Cyber Security and Signal Intelligence, focused on developing advanced technology solutions by establishing SigintOS. His greatest motivation in the development of PECS was the loss of life caused by lack of communication in the 1999 Marmara Earthquake and other recent disasters.
Murat Şişman, while explaining his work in this field, states, “Our goal was to save human lives and ensure that we stay connected even in difficult conditions. PECS is a result of this vision and we work with all our might to save more lives.” SigintOS, one of Turkey’s most innovative companies in the field of technology, has also attracted great attention in the international arena. International search and rescue federations have shown great interest in the PECS product and have begun to inform their members about this product.
A Turkish Innovation: Technology to be Exported to the World
SigintOS’s founding CEO Murat Şişman said the following about the development process of PECS: “Turkey has faced many major earthquake disasters in recent years. We have experienced moments when communication lines were completely cut off during these disasters. PECS was designed based on these experiences. The system quickly activates, meets the need for communication and plays a critical role in saving human lives. We will start exporting this technology to the world and search and rescue teams from many countries have already contacted us and are holding meetings for product supply.” This impressive system reminds us how valuable every second saved in the chaos after a disaster is. PECS stands out as a concrete example of how modern technology can save human lives
It Will Also Be Used in Military and Intelligence Fields
PECS provides a great advantage not only in disaster situations but also in military and intelligence operations. Since this system can capture and analyze GSM signals, it helps security and intelligence units to provide secure communication in enemy areas or high-risk operation areas. The system can determine the identities of users by detecting the IMSI numbers of connected devices, which provides critical information in terms of person tracking, location detection and communication analysis in intelligence operations.
Military and Intelligence units can also use PECS to ensure operational secrecy in the field. When the network of local operators is disabled in enemy territory, secure communication can be established over the network created with PECS. In addition, it is possible to target enemy mobile devices with this system, monitor conversations and collect data. Especially in operations requiring high security, PECS’s mobile tracking and analysis capabilities will provide security forces with an advantage and strategic superiority.
SigintOS Seeks Investors with Global Growth Target
Turkey’s innovative technology company SigintOS is attracting great attention with the advanced communication and security solutions it has developed. The company, which has revolutionized disaster management, military and intelligence operations with products such as PECS and SigintOS Linux, is seeking the support of investors to gain a stronger position in the global arena. The SigintOS Linux operating system, which has over fifty thousand active users, is still used by experts in important institutions such as NASA and ESA. PECS and different products based on the SigintOS Linux operating system aim to create a wider impact in the international market.
SigintOS CEO Murat Şişman states that this investment round is a critical step in spreading the company’s technology worldwide and further developing its innovations. Offering a unique opportunity for investors, SigintOS shares its vision of being a leader in the security and communication technologies of the future.
