Every second counts in a crisis. For all volunteers, first responders and crews on the ground, reliable lines of communication define how quickly you can reach those in danger and the success of the mission. When disaster strikes and terrestrial networks go down, be ready to stay connected, stay safe and save lives with our satellite-enabled connectivity services.

Emergency response

We have been at the forefront of emergency response and humanitarian efforts for over 40 years. It is at the very core of our heritage. When the unexpected happens and the chips are stacked against you, we deliver essential connectivity for first responders – even in the most challenging situations.

With the support of our global partners, we can help you coordinate an effective emergency response within minutes of getting boots on the ground. Whether it is deploying our IsatPhone 2 handset to connect with other first responders or using our BGAN service to co-ordinate field operations, we can help you save lives and keep your crews safe.

Disaster relief

In the aftermath of disaster, the next challenge is coordinating the delivery of aid. When the focus shifts from rescuing survivors to meeting their basic needs, you need to ensure you have the necessary connectivity to build efficient supply chains, quickly. It can be the difference between life and death. We take our responsibility to deliver connectivity seriously, to help you stay operational and saving lives.

With our connectivity services, frontline staff can make voice calls, send text messages and do all that’s necessary to distribute aid efficiently – no matter where they are in the world. Our connectivity can even be used to track key shipments of food, tents, blankets and other lifesaving equipment so that your work has the greatest impact in the field.

Post-disaster reconstruction

Long after TV cameras have left the scene, we know you are still on the ground picking up the pieces and focusing on recovery, rebuilding and securing the future of communities. This is no easy task. But we understand restoring community life can be hampered by not being able to access reliable connectivity. We’re here to change that.

Our high-speed LX service, can help you and local communities access the reliable voice and data connectivity you need to implement sustainable development initiatives. Whether it is enabling isolated communities to access healthcare or supporting children access eLearning courses online, we can help you rebuild sustainable and more resilient communities long after a crisis has passed.
