Emergency Communications

Stay Connected Even in an Emergency

When disaster strikes and terrestrial broadband networks fail, Hughes Emergency Solutions use broadband satellite technology to get mission-critical applications back online—fast.



Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Recovery

Fast and secure access to shared information is essential for federal, state, and local agencies to prepare for emergencies and to respond in an effective and coordinated manner when disaster strikes. That demands an integrated and highly reliable information network architecture, where the resources are always in place and ready for action. Satellite communications solutions from Hughes provide the vital links when disaster strikes—with instant infrastructure when terrestrial communications are damaged or knocked out.
