The system, which started its construction in 2011, has worked as an efficient relief command center in emergency. In August 2016, a group of 78 hikers, including 70 children, got lost in jungles in northwest Ecuador.They were located and rescued with the help of the system's geolocation function which zeroed in on one of the hiker's mobile phones and led rescuers to the site.
In daily life, the system works as a security network.
"In the streets, there are many cameras monitoring traffic, protests or any incident, such as a robbery or assault, in real time, so the police can respond," Quito resident Edison Chicaiza, 49, told Xinhua.
"China stands out for its capacity to create innovative technologies, and it's great that our country has received that for the ECU 911," said Dayana Jimenez, a university student.
Currently, there are 16 ECU 911 centers across Ecuador, including two national ones in the capital city of Quito and Guayaquil, its most populous city.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT
ECU 911's national director Andres Sandoval said the hotline has marked an "integral change in security" in Ecuador since it went into effect thanks to China's technological input.
China's CEIEC "has very robust technology: large-capacity servers, (and) support and emergency backup in electricity and telecommunications," Sandoval told Xinhua.
The center in Quito alone receives an average of 3,000 emergency calls per day, according to its operational director Diego Ripalda.
