First Response
Performance when it matters most.
The vulnerability of the nation’s terrestrial network to natural disasters has made having a backup satellite communications plan even more important to federal, state and local first responders. In both the emergency response to the event and the disaster recovery months that follow, Intelsat General offers solutions geared to the needs of the men and women in the field for fast and reliable communications.
In a disaster, our field equipment and satellites initially provide first responder communications as rescue personnel assess the situation, provide immediate medical care, and restore order. Then as the situation evolves, portable command centers linked to satellites can be moved into place to oversee the provision of food, water, and shelter, protect public safety, and ensure continuity of operations for the disaster recovery teams.
Our technical experts can respond to communication needs anywhere in the world, in a matter of hours, building short-term networks for voice, video and data to open lines of communication, speed recovery and promote public safety.
Intelsat General has been involved in disaster recovery situations to fight terrorism, provide human aid to war-stricken areas, assist with counter-drug surveillance, link soldiers with their families and reconnect areas torn apart by hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters. We continue to lead the industry in disaster recovery services because of our technical excellence and preparedness.
