The U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce has announced the arrival of Data Stream Mobile Technologies in Puerto Rico. The company specializes in telecommunication for disaster recovery and will work to connect Puerto Rico to the rest of world in the event of an emergency.

The U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce’s monthly tour called U.S. Investment Innovation Tour was presented in Bayamon, Arecibo, Mayaguez, Ponce, Caguas, San Juan, and other cities from  September 18th to 22nd. This edition was hosted by the Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association.

“Planning and post-disaster reconstruction through communication should be a top priority for Puerto Rico and the private sector,” said Doug Mayorga, CEO of the U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce. “This is a great solution for all sectors in Puerto Rico and, most importantly, enable the local government to better serve the people of the island.”

Puerto Rico has four active traditional cellular carriers, including three with a 5G-licensed mobile network service operator. These companies are responsible for most of the 15,000 telecommunications cellular towers in the island that power the mobile networks used by most cell phone companies in Puerto Rico.

ATT, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Claro are the largest carriers by customer base, estimated at 2 million users.

“We are committed to bringing our innovation to the reconstruction and recovery efforts in Puerto Rico,” said Sean Lee, CEO of Data Stream Solution. “Our mission for Puerto Rico is to create through technology and innovation a new kind of communication during a natural disaster or post,” said the executive.

Data Stream Mobile Technologies specializes in wireless integration solutions in the event of natural disasters.
The company says their wireless solutions can be mobilized and deployed within 20-30 minutes at fast internet speeds, independent from major cell carriers if their networks are down.
