Gigaclear has awarded Severn Area Rescue Association’s (SARA) station in Beachley community hub status, enabling the charity to track its volunteer members more efficiently.
With two inshore lifeboats, a land search team, a cliff rescue team and a flood rescue team, SARA Beachley responds to emergency callouts by the coastguard, police and other agencies more than 50 times a year.
Operations room co-ordinator, Ian Pilling, said: “Having access to a fast and reliable full fibre broadband service is part of our overall safety mix. It gives those in the operations room an extra pair of eyes, offering us an overview of incidents as they occur.”
“Full fibre broadband enables us to access our online systems quicker and enhance our ability to keep our teams safe and working effectively when taking part in rescue missions.”
