Award Category: Private Network Excellence in Public Safety Winner: Cumucore Partner: Ripsim, Mosolabs, Starlink When Hurricane Helene struck Western North Carolina, it left behind severe physical destruction and a critical communication crisis, isolating communities from essential resources and emergency services. In response, Cumucore, in collaboration with Ripsim, Mosolabs, and Starlink, deployed a resilient and scalable private mobile network that rapidly restored essential connectivity where it was needed most. This innovative deployment earned Cumucore the 2024 TeckNexus “Private Network Excellence in Public Safety” award, recognizing their transformative use of private network technology to enhance disaster response and ensure reliable communication for affected areas during emergencies.
