Tactical Operations merges with Cisco’s Critical Human Needs investment portfolio to optimize its social impact, becoming Cisco Crisis Response. The CCR Team applies its collective resources and expertise to support partners working in emergency and humanitarian response. These resources include cash and product grants, technical expertise, guidance on emergency connectivity and network security solutions, and on-the-ground equipment installations and deployments. 

In the late 2010’s, Cisco’s Tactical Operations expands to provide connectivity for people displaced by man-made crises. TacOps, working as a key partner to NetHope, helps create a pathway of connectivity for Venezuelan refugees. The pathway provides wireless communication links along refugee routes, giving refugees access to a splash page that directs them to safety and resources. TacOps team members deploy to dozens of locations and help provide connectivity to more than 50,000 users over the coming two years.
