The role of VSAT in disaster recovery

摘要

Satellite communications, and in particular VSAT systems, have an important role to play in disaster recovery and emergency response. Naturally, the very nature of a disaster means that it is impossible to know when and where it will occur, and very often it is in a location with little or no connection infrastructure. Of course, even if there was previously a connection, the disaster can very often disable that. Being able to enter a disaster zone with all the equipment to quickly get connected can seriously impact the number of lives that can be saved, and VSAT technology is the key to enabling that. Here, Alvaro Sanchez, Director of Sales and Marketing at Integrasys, outlines the role of VSAT terminals for emergency communications in times of disaster.
