Qin Jian: Using Technology to Safeguard the "Lifeline" of Forests

In the vast forests and grasslands of the Xing'an League in the northern frontier of China, there is a forest fire communication soldier – Qin Jian. For 20 years, he has traveled through the endless forest, walking 2,540 kilometers to maintain base stations, using wisdom and sweat to build the communication barrier for forest firefighting. From innovating digital ultra-shortwave self-organizing network technology to building mobile communication command platforms, he has always stood at the forefront of informatization construction, making the "never-dying waves" a reliable shield for forest safety. In this informatization transformation, Caltta's ultra-shortwave self-organizing network equipment has become his "weapon", helping to open up the "last mile" of forest firefighting communication.

Using Technology to Open the Information "Artery" of Forest Firefighting

"Smooth communication is the lifeline of forest firefighting!" Qin Jian knows deeply that forest fire suppression is ever-changing, and traditional communication methods are easily disturbed in the complex terrain of forests. Ensuring efficient and smooth command and dispatch has become a problem he continually tackles.

Facing the communication challenges of the vast forest areas in Xing'an League, he combined practical experience and explored the "star + tree topology ultra-shortwave network" solution. Using Caltta's ultra-shortwave self-organizing fixed station, he built a stable communication network for the forest area. After multi-hop networking, frontline firefighters can access the camp command system through the fixed station, eventually connecting to the battalion, division, and even the fire bureau, realizing full-link information intercommunication.

In firefighting and rescue scenes, he uses the ultra-shortwave self-organizing backpack station to quickly set up a mobile communication system:

• Backpack equipment is carried at all times to ensure continuous command connections

  
  

• Vehicle-mounted and aircraft-mounted stations form flexible networks to set up air-ground integrated communication nodes

  
  

• Fixed stations and backpack stations are combined to form a flexible and expandable emergency communication network

Whether on routine patrols or emergency rescues, Caltta's ultra-shortwave self-organizing network system's fast deployment, flexible networking, and stable communication features allow Qin Jian and his team to always grasp the "information initiative" of the forest fire scene.

2,540 Kilometers of Inspection: Ensuring the Signal is Always Online

Forest firefighting is not only a battle against fire but also an information defense battle. Before each fire prevention period, Qin Jian leads the maintenance team on the "base station maintenance long march": 10 days, 2,540 kilometers, and 30 high-altitude operations, all to ensure the stable operation of communication equipment. The "base station operation and maintenance map" he personally drew marks the key points and common fault points of each base station, and his summarized "look, listen, ask, and touch" maintenance method has become the standard operation and maintenance specification for the battalion.

In an emergency firefighting operation, due to sudden thunderstorms, a base station signal was interrupted. Qin Jian braved the wind and rain, walking tens of kilometers to the site to troubleshoot the equipment fault, restoring communication in the shortest time and providing critical real-time fire scene information to the command center. It is his professionalism and dedication that has kept the ultra-shortwave communication success rate of the Xing'an League Forest Fire Brigade at 100% year-round.

Empowering Informatization: Forest Firefighting Moves Toward "Smart Communication"

As a brigade-level communication instructor, Qin Jian is not only a communication pioneer on the battlefield but also a promoter of informatization construction. With years of experience, he has combined traditional communication methods with modern technology, allowing Caltta's ultra-shortwave self-organizing network technology to exert its maximum effectiveness in forest firefighting.

Currently, Caltta's ultra-shortwave self-organizing network has covered all the forest areas in Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang. The forest firefighting teams have constructed more than 600 fixed and backpack stations nationwide, achieving nationwide ultra-shortwave system networking. Frontline rescue teams can directly connect to the National Fire Rescue Bureau through this network. Through a three-level linkage mechanism, the informatization level of the forest firefighting teams has been significantly improved, moving from "single-point communication" to "network-wide collaboration", injecting technological power into the forest firefighting command system.

Staying True to the Original Aspiration: Becoming a Lifelong Communication Sentinel

From a new recruit to the "chief communication soldier", from an excellent radio operator to a soldier expert, Qin Jian has used 20 years of perseverance and innovation to make communication technology a solid guarantee for forest firefighting. When faced with repeated honors, he simply smiles: "As long as the organization needs me, I am willing to be a lifelong communication sentinel!"

On the road to protecting the green barrier, Qin Jian has always been at the forefront. Behind him, Caltta will continue to empower technology, standing side by side with forest firefighting communication soldiers, jointly safeguarding the green mountains and clear waters of the motherland!
