Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Recovery
Using Satellite Communication to Provide Vital Crisis Response and Disaster Management
Flexible, reliable, and quickly deployable communications solutions specially designed to support the rapid response and recovery of a community.
The Importance of Restoring Primary Communications Needs After a Disaster
Natural disasters and premeditated incidents can result in countless lives lost and a strain on the global economy. When this type of event happens, mission-critical cloud-based applications allow governments, NGOs, and humanitarian organisations to mount a coordinated crisis response, preventing further loss of human life.
These applications depend on a reliable, high-quality communications infrastructure. Satellite networks can rapidly restore communication lines when terrestrial networks fail, facilitating response and recovery efforts.
Delivering Rapidly-Deployable Connectivity and Communication
Our Humanitarian Assistance & Disaster Response Solutions deliver high-quality, highly reliable crisis connectivity that enables vital communications for disaster response and recovery teams before, during, and after a crisis occurs. A single SES MEO terminal can simultaneously reconnect an entire community and support recovery teams rebuilding shattered infrastructure.
Enabling life-saving operations across the globe, our crisis connectivity solutions are powered by our GEO and MEO high-throughput satellites. This enables first responders to focus on the mission at hand, knowing that our uncontended end-to-end network is powering all necessary cloud applications seamlessly.
