This morning took place in Chile a major earthquake measuring between 8.3 and 8.5 on the Richter scale as mentioned in the TV. Just yesterday I had been seeing part of the presentation of Viña del Mar Festival, which ended barely minutes before the earthquake occurred. At home we went to bed not knowing anything about the quake.

Early in the morning we awoke to the news: A strong earthquake shook Chile, one of the strongest in history. It is assumed that the continental plate moved about 8 feet. The lines of communication collapsed. The phones stopped. The collapsed cell. But the data service, followed up.

The mother of my eldest daughter has been living recently in Chile. Three or four hours later we heard about the earthquake … because she sent a message on the Blackberry Messenger!

At this time -10 am-me that already have electricity in your area-a development called Las Condes, and the telephone network is jammed. Only cellular text messaging. But I always ran the BB Messenger service. As I write this note, it literally says “You know I checked the only thing that works in these cases of emergency is the BB Messenger?”

While other communication options fell, the data service, not the voice of the cellular network was the only one active. The TCP protocol is designed to automatically fix problems that may arise in a partial disruption of service. That coupled with wireless transmission of the cellular network, and estimates used in the assembly of the transmission antennas, auxiliary power plants, anti-seismic construction, redundancy, etc.-make these networks are, as we have stated at other times, the only infrastructure that can actually be used on all types of emergencies. Indeed Ericsson and other companies offer self-contained systems that allow mounting a 3G network in minutes.

Another network that was immediately answered twitter. Reviewing messages with Chile or # # hashtags terremotochile as it is seen that the response was super fast. Likewise, the hashtag # Tsunami was triggered by the quake in Chile and another occurred in Japan, and are cautioning everyone, especially those living in Hawaii, on the subject.
