Satellite technology enables people to travel beyond the range of traditional cellular communication and still stay in contact. Whether you’re a solo adventurer hiking in remote mountains or sailing from the Caribbean to Canada, satellite technology can keep you connected with emergency services and home.
On Land
With our GPS and M2M systems, satellite technology is the perfect lifeline for the outdoor adventurer, especially if you like to travel alone. Mountain climbing can be a dangerous hobby, so you want to ensure that you are connected should you need to phone for help. Hikers can also benefit from this technology.
Lone workers in many industries can use satellite technology to ensure their safety. Some positions may require lone workers to travel long distances in remote locations, like when they must service power plants deep in the Australian outback or secure oil pipelines in the Middle East. The technology is ideal for relief workers in remote locations. Not only will these workers be connected with phone service, but there are applications designed to keep them safe by monitoring their location and allowing them to check in as part of safety protocol.
In the Air
Often when you’re flying, you can’t receive cellular reception through traditional means. Satellite technology enables you to stay in contact even while airborne. This technology is ideal for airplane pilots to use as a backup means for communication. While pilots do have communication with air traffic control during flight, should something happen with the communication capability on the plane, they would be able to use satellite communication in the event of an emergency.
Helicopter pilots can also benefit from this technology. Fueling a long helicopter flight can be a challenge, but with the help of satellite technology the members of the Three North Poles expedition were able to set up refueling stations to make it across 715 nautical miles of icy waters and remote, treacherous terrain.
At Sea
Sailors, yachting enthusiasts, sea kayakers, fishermen and others who spend significant amounts of time at sea can all ensure their safety by using satellite communications. Weather can change quickly out on the open ocean, so you want a means to track it in real time. Satellite technology can enable you to know what weather is coming your way so you can prepare for it.
Oceanographers, marine biologists and other scientists collecting data at sea can boost the productivity of their data collection and ensure communication by using satellite technology. E-mail, messaging, web access and file transfer via broadband Internet systems complete the suite of solutions to ensure further safety.
Protecting Animals
This technology isn’t only helping humans travel safely. Satellite technology is helping protect endangered species around the globe. Through a satellite monitoring system, combined with scientists’ manual data collection, scientists are able to monitor rare species and help combat poaching globally. This technology is beneficial to zoologists and conservationists, but can also be a great asset to the scientific community at large. Scientists in many fields have to collect large amounts of data in remote areas. Satellite technology can help aid in their personal safety and enhance their data collection experience.
Depending where you operate on land or at sea, you’ll likely encounter times when your travels take you outside of cellular services or the range of the 2-way radio network. For an additional safety net, New York Mobile Satellite offers satellite telephone systems in multiple formats: portable handhelds, in-vehicle fixed phones or docking kits and maritime phones for life at sea. If it’s push-to-talk radio that you require for dispatch operations, then we can extend the range of your 2-way radio network across your operating region, on a global basis. Our products also provide simple integration of satellite push-to-talk with your existing UHF/VHF radios, repeaters and dispatch console systems.
New York Mobile Satellite is also proud to introduce the first line of rapidly deployable satellite enabled self-contained cameras. These allow you to utilize our Broad Band Global Area Network (BGAN) and /or Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) or your existing network in order to enable direct and remove monitoring for rapid deployment for emergency response and safety scenarios.
There are literally millions of scenarios in which satellite technology can save lives, reduce injuries and even prevent catastrophes. Are you ready to protect your safety and the safety of your team while benefiting from constant communications with clients and loved ones? Contact us today at 646-537-1724. Or email us. Staying safe is worth it.
