It’s not always feasible to establish voice, Data and/or Internet connectivity using landline and cable connections. Often, connection must be established in a very short time frame or it must be established hundreds of miles away from the closest wired connection.
With rapidly evolving technological advancements being brought to market on a daily basis it can be hard to keep up with the most current technology that can provide your needs with viable and cost effective solutions. In the past emergency operations and large scale operations on the outskirts of modern civilization have relied on crude methods of communications but with the advancement of technology there has been an explosion in-field demands to be able to communicate data in a consistent and efficient manner. In short; companies need to communicate and transfer data in real time.
Satellites are not new to the world of technology and we’ve been putting them into space for many years. However, the use of satellite communication for corporate connections has only recently become a stable and attainable solution for many emergency and business situations. If you are in charge of setting up communication operations for a business involved in mining, oil and gas exploration, agriculture, travel, forestry or emergency response services you already understand the complexities of ensuring your people can communicate needs in a timely manner.
With commercial satellite solutions it’s possible to get field office connectivity along with remote office connectivity. You can achieve 2-way high-speed commercial satellite solutions in conjunction with complete design and development of Global WANs. It’s even possible to obtain undersea cable and fiber integrated solutions, which pretty much goes to show that any solution is possible with Satellite solutions. Whether you are in a remote part of the world or at the bottom of the ocean you’ll have seamless connection when needed.
Just as important as the connection itself is the group of people behind the technology supporting the product and ensuring significant up time. Finding proven leaders in the field of satellite technical support during the rare event an issue occurs is imperative. Make sure they also offer access to their network so the end user can monitor their connections remotely in several different ways. This provides a seamless and transparent technology that helps to enable a smooth and powerful solution for any size communication need whether it’s five or five hundred sites.
Going with satellite to establish Voice, Data and Internet solutions has never been easier to set up, easier to maintain and has become a must in the competitive world market.
When an emergency happens communication is the most vital part of a successful rescue operation and satellite communications have been the key to saving countless lives.
The first satellite that went into outer space was put into low elliptical orbit by the Soviet Union in 1951. Little did anyone know the significance of this event? There are currently over 800 satellites in orbit around the globe and they do their part in providing intelligence, military support, research, and commercial television. However, over the last decade or so the use of satellites has become a very important part of first response and rescue missions.
Around the world a crisis can happen at any given time. Earthquakes, hurricanes, wild fires, flooding and even terrorist attacks will require large scale emergency response that will need immediate coordination to minimize the loss of life. It’s not always practical or easy to put together a method of communications that can cross many different agencies, rescue personnel and first responders. The task of quickly setting up a communication network can be daunting and can waste away several precious hours that are desperately needed for helping those in need.
With the use of satellite communications the amount of time needed to set up a network for communication can be narrowed down to minutes. A satellite can be called into action quickly and it has the ability to cover territory that would otherwise be without consistent communication. A crisis does not always happen in populated areas where cell towers or landlines are accessible. Often when they are accessible, they are compromised by the disaster or even with congestion from victims trying to communicate with loved ones.
Not only will satellite communication allow for telephony connection it can also serve as a broadband internet connection capable of consistent video streaming for surveillance and conference reasons. This allows a multi level communication platform that will meet the needs of almost all emergency and first responder personnel.Support from commercial satellite companies usually comes with the options for seasonal use so budget strapped agencies don’t pay for services when they are not using them. This allows smaller response agencies the ability to utilize these methods of communication while remaining fiscally responsible.
No matter what the emergency is, communication is the most important factor in a successful mission and no other method of communication or network can supply the level of up time and reliability that satellite services can offer. This true innovation straight out of the cold war has gone a long way in making sure the world is a safer place for everyone.
