The sentence goes as follows:

> 「 **ドコデモ傘下** なので受けるのは当然携帯電話絡みの問い合わせだ。」

The sentence is uttered after the reader is told about a woman who works in a
call center. She is checking the daily "briefing-mails" and then it is
uttered.

The preceding sentence:

> 早くもどこかのブースで着信の合図がある

It is later revealed that there have been problems with telephones services
all over town.

I really do not know what to make of the part in bold. My best shot at it
would be that it expresses the fact that the company (the call center belongs
to) is affiliated with all sorts of things (and therefore with the telephone
problems as well). However, the meaning of 「傘下」is a mystery to me.

The meaning of 「どこでも傘下」
It seems the company called ドコデモ is a telecommunications company especially
mobile network service. The company she works at should be a subsidiary
company of ドコデモ. I am not sure what she is actually doing though, she might be
responding the customers' request due to erratic connection all over the town.

Anyway 傘下{さんか} literally means "under the umbrella". If you open the umbrella
up, the shape is like a pyramid, right? So, it seems like describing a
"hierarchy". The company she works at might always need to work according to
the order from the parent company 「ドコデモ」.
