Emergency Wi-Fi Hotspots Give Lifeline to Israeli Hikers
The Fellowship | March 19, 2021
“In one incident last year, a teenager hiking in the Golan Heights got bitten by a snake and needed to get to the hospital quickly, and thanks to our system was evacuated by helicopter in time to be saved,” Katzir tells ISRAEL21c.
In another incident in the north, a Nature and Parks Authority ranger came across a trekker in medical distress and used the hotspot to make a video call to get instructions on how to treat him.
