Emergency Preparedness and Response

When Disaster Strikes

As the only true alternative communications path to terrestrial networks, satellite communications has emerged as a critical infrastructure component to maintain government COOP when emergency strikes. Disasters across the globe—from earthquakes, to pandemics, to terrorist attacks—continue to serve as timely reminders of the terrestrial network vulnerabilities that affect the ability of government agencies to respond to an emergency and to continue to operate in its aftermath.
