Satellites play a fundamental role in emergency and security scenarios. The ability to deploy critical communications services quickly and easily during disasters makes satellites an ideal medium for these types of services.
In this context, there are several scenarios where satellites can be used for emergencies:
- Restoring communications in the event of a disaster: In this case, architectures similar to IP trunking or internet access are often implemented.
- Backhauling of emergency terrestrial networks: Solutions that complement TETRA, 3G-4G, and WIMAX services in these scenarios.
- Communications for mobile devices involved in the emergency: Applicable to land, air, and sea resources.
- Sat-on-the-Pause communications in emergency and security scenarios: Solutions aimed at providing broadband connectivity in remote locations, facilitating the deployment of communications.
- Fire prevention and protection systems: Sensor solutions aimed at assisting in decision-making and firefighting.
