Winning the Pandemic Response Award

Pangea IoT News: Comms Business Awards 2021

We’re happy to say we won the Pandemic Response Award at this year’s Comms Business Awards!

Our team worked tirelessly to help the UK fight the pandemic, helping partners to find healthy mobile data revenue streams while supporting the healthcare and education sectors with IoT when they needed it most.

Some of the pandemic response projects we worked on:

Keeping 102,000 students connected

When UK schools closed in the lockdown, we worked with the government to keep over 102,000 underprivileged students connected to their education from their homes, with connectivity supported by a mobile content filter keeping them safe online.

Connecting a pop-up COVID hospital

The NHS didn’t have enough hospitals to treat the influx of COVID patients. We were chosen for an urgent project to connect their pop-up Nightingale hospital in Cardiff with the most adaptive, resilient 4G connectivity on the market.

Helping GPs and mobile clinics treat patients

COVID left millions of people without the means to access the healthcare they needed. We helped our NHS bridge that gap with telemedicine solutions for GP surgeries and 4G-powered mobile clinics.
