This Device Can Save Humanity When the Internet Goes Dark

When the internet’s down and cell towers go silent… Ham Radio still talks! At Kerala Police c0c0n 2025 conference in Kochi, amid all the buzz of AI and cybersecurity, one stall turned into something timeless — Ham/Amateur Radio, the original social network for the airwaves. Girish Babu, former CEO of Technopark and passionate ham operator, shows how a simple radio can connect cities, countries and even save lives during disasters. The old school tech, which even our former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was a fan of, reminds us that communication doesn’t always need Wi-Fi or cell towers. Watch how it sparks curiosity among tech enthusiasts.
