COMMUNICATION AT THE HEART OF CURRENT CRISES
Climate change and its cohort of disasters, industrials accidents, complex political scenarios have generated new contexts for the authorities called upon to react to emergency situations. Events that follow one another quickly require a capacity for monitoring and action, often over large areas.
Communications are therefore of crucial importance, to assess the situation but also to disseminate orders, reports, information.
Under these conditions, traditional networks are either destroyed (disasters) or saturated (terrorist attacks). One input (cold planning) is that it is very likely that they do not offer the resilience necessary for rescue teams and crisis HQs.
In the reactivity phase, satellite communications (SatCom) can provide data and voice almost instantly. In areas affected by disasters, satellite may be the only means of communication due to a lack or deterioration of infrastructure or prolonged network saturation.

FIELD SOLUTIONS
Communication by satellite (SatCom) is the most effective way in case of disasters. Indeed, it is an independent, private and secure network: It is the ideal resilient tool.
Our solutions are designed for quick installation and do not require technical training.
Compact, space-saving antennas installed on emergency vehicles can provide first responders with broadband connectivity before they even reach the emergency site. Response teams have access to real-time video feeds, voice and high-speed data communications, which help them do the vital job of saving lives.
Due to their nature, they are perfectly suited to any type of scenario:
- Security crisis in country or in the capital
- Natural disaster/ Industrial accident on the territory with a centralized operations command, probably delocalized
- Aid to a distant country or an overseas territory
PROVEN SOLUTIONS
We were able to use our skills during the ARMOR mission in 2016, during which the ACTIA terminals deployed for this anti-terrorist exercise were:
