Signature HADR
Quick-deploy connectivity solutions for emergency response communications
Natural disasters and premeditated incidents result in countless lives lost and a strain on the global economy. Mission-critical cloud-based applications allow governments, NGOs, and humanitarian organisations to mount a coordinated crisis response to such events.
These applications depend on reliable, high-quality communications infrastructure. Satellite networks rapidly restore communication lines when terrestrial networks fail, facilitating response and recovery efforts.
