Update: New Packet Radio Deployment and Go Box in Thailand - Cobra Gold 2025 HADR DEMO
Published on March 3, 2025 by Watchara Amasiri
We are excited to share the successful deployment of the New Packet Radio (NPR) and Go Box Communication System during the Cobra Gold 2025 Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) Demonstration. This marks a significant milestone in integrating amateur radio-based emergency communication into multinational disaster response training.
📡 On-the-Job Training & Deployment Highlights
During the Cobra Gold 2025 HADR exercise, our team conducted an on-the-job training (OJT) session for first responders, military personnel, and volunteer emergency communicators.
The training focused on:
✔ Deployment of NPR networks for real-time data transmission over long distances.
✔ Configuration of Go Box units for rapid deployment in disaster scenarios.
✔ Use of UHF antennas for digital communication in remote and affected areas.
✔ Interoperability with other agencies, ensuring effective coordination with civil-military responders.

🚀 Equipment in Action
- New Packet Radio (NPR) System: Enabled stable data communication where traditional networks failed.
- Go Box Communication Units: Provided portable, self-contained solutions for emergency responders.
🌍 Impact & Future Plans
This deployment demonstrated the feasibility of NPR and Go Box technology in real disaster response scenarios. Moving forward, we aim to: 🔹 Expand training programs for local responders and volunteers.
🔹 Improve NPR integration with existing Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs).
🔹 Deploy additional NPR nodes in disaster-prone regions of Thailand.
