Iridium Satellite Partners Introduce Hurricane Equipment
and Service Packages
With the U.S. hurricane season officially underway,
Iridium Satellite announces that many of its partners
have introduced special emergency communications equipment
and service offerings. Iridium is ideal for backup communications
to replace land-based, cellular and radio telecom services
often inoperable due to winds and flooding. In addition,
unlike most other systems, Iridium is interoperable
with all other emergency communications systems, including
UHF and VHF radios, as well as others.
"Iridium partner packages address the very real
and immediate challenge faced by first-responders in
disaster situations - the simple tasks of talking to
each other, and of tracking their supplies and personnel
- in and out of buildings," said Greg Ewert, executive
vice president, Iridium Satellite. "Mobile satellite
services play an important role, especially within the
first 72 hours of a crisis. Our partners are geared
up to be able to immediately ship equipment into the
hurricane hot zones or other disaster scenes."
