Mediaplanet And goTenna Step Up When Cell Service Goes Down In “Winter Disaster & Home Safety” Campaign
NEW YORK (PRWEB) January 03, 2018 -- Ahead of record-breaking temperatures forecasted for this winter season, and in light of the recent, catastrophic hurricanes, Mediaplanet announces the launch of this past December’s edition of “Winter Disaster & Home Safety.” This campaign will educate readers about the specific dangers of the coldest months of the year and how they can protect their homes, businesses and families from the winter weather.
Severe winter weather caused 15 percent of all insured home, auto and business catastrophe losses in the United States in 2014, and this percentage has risen every year since. This not only affects the individual — it affects entire communities in the United States. Last year, total losses from snow and ice were more than $2.3 billion, which is more than double the average from the previous 20 years. If the trend continues, this year will be another one for the books. The wetter and colder months also are a perfect environment for your homes’ silent killers, such as mold, carbon monoxide and heating fires.
Communications is the keystone of all fundamental facilities and systems, but today’s infrastructure must evolve to meet 21st century needs. At goTenna, they’re working on advancing universal access to connectivity by decentralizing it. goTenna builds next-generation wireless architectures to power bottom-up communications networks that get stronger as they grow. They focus on low-power, low-cost, modular mobile ad-hoc networking protocols and devices that are easy-to-use and developer-friendly. Their parallel networks are designed to both enable completely off-grid communication and augment traditional systems by extending the practical edge of connectivity.
The print component of “Winter Disaster & Home Safety” is distributed within today’s edition of USA Today in New York, Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Denver and San Francisco, with a circulation of approximately 250,000 copies and an estimated readership of 750,000. The digital component is distributed nationally, through a vast social media strategy and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets.
