This proved especially true during a recent volcanic eruption in the small island nation of Tonga, where the only optical fibre line to the country was severed due to the cataclysm, completely disconnecting the island from the rest of the world. The lack of communication made the disaster relief to the eruption more complex. The Emergency Communications Node (ECN) can be deployed within 48 hours to enable alternative means of communication that replace damaged communication lines...
