Functionality in Emergency Situations
As a reseller, the Company relies upon its underlying facilities-based carrier for functionality
in emergency situations. Through the Company’s agreement with its underlying carrier,
Sprint, the Company has the ability to remain functional in emergency situations. The Sprint
wireless network has reasonable amounts of back-up power and the ability to reroute traffic
around damaged facilities and manage traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations.
Each cell site in the Sprint’s network is equipped with two to four hours of battery back-up
power. Many cell sites in the Sprint network provide overlapping coverage for neighboring
areas, ensuring that coverage continues in the event of damage to a particular facility. These
neighboring cell sites can be adjusted to provide coverage to a wider service area in the event
of an emergency. As an MVNO of Sprint, these capabilities benefit Q Link Wireless
customers.
