Emergency

Satellites play a vital role in emergencies. The ability to quickly and easily deploy a critical communications service during a disaster makes satellites an ideal means for these types of services.

In this context, there are several scenarios where satellites may be used for emergencies:

• Restoring communications during a catastrophe: in this case, architecture similar to IP trunking or Internet access is usually implemented.
• Backhaul for terrestrial emergency networks: solutions that complement TETRA, 3G-4G, and WIMAX services in these situations.
• Communications for mobile units involved in the emergency: this applies to terrestrial, aerial and maritime units.
• SAT on the Pause communications in emergencies and security situations: solutions designed to provide broadband connectivity in remote locations, which facilitate the deployment of communications.
• Smaller.
• Broad range of frequencies on Ka and Ku.

Hispasat's satellites provide excellent coverage over 100% of the territory of the countries under its footprint. The company also features an NOC and an operations team with extensive experience in these types of critical communications.

AGREEMENT WITH GETSAT FOR MOBILITY SERVICES

Hispasat has signed an agreement with GetSAT to develop services for transport, emergencies and defence. GetSAT’s Sat on the Move terminal means that links can be established quickly and efficiently in mobility scenarios.

• Electronic alignment.

The GetSAT terminals have been designed to offer on-the-move solutions in helicopters or UAVs. These terminals have been optimally designed to be integrated in helicopters and aircraft. Real time communications, voice and video transmission, surveillance and recognition or emergencies and rescue missions are just some of the services that GetSAT products can offer.

Hispasat and GetSAT offer customers an end-to-end service for which they pay a monthly fee (OPEX):

There are two types of services:

• Fixed monthly service: in which the user pays a monthly fee related to the service purchased.
• Temporary service: in which the user pays per use (days, weeks, months).

Alternatively, customers that have their own infrastructure can purchase the capacity and hardware separately.
