Three Common Industries that Benefit From Satellite Telecommunications

Virtually all industries can benefit from satellite telecommunications, but there are several industries that have workers who have a consistent need for communications on the go without the threat of interrupted service. For businesses where mobility is their life blood, satellite can be exceptionally helpful and even lifesaving. Here are just a few industries that benefit from satellite each and every day.

Public Safety

First responders and public safety organizations have some challenges that can only be overcome by reliable telecommunication satellite provides. They need to make sure they can communicate between base operations and emergency resources during times of crisis and natural disaster. During emergencies, terrestrial cellular lines are often jammed from greatly increased traffic. Satellite communications don’t become overwhelmed during times of crisis, so first responders and public safety organizations have open lines of communication when they need it the most.

When agencies need to communicate with one another across the continent, or across the globe, satellite communications and New York Mobile Satellite’s technology enable them to do so. Since emergencies can occur anywhere, it’s crucial that even remote locations have communications services in a time of crisis. This is so important because satellite technology allows first responders, public safety agencies, emergency services (including hospitals) to communicate to get people to safety quickly and efficiently during a crisis.

Media

To bring you the most up-to-date news, reporters travel across the globe chasing the stories that matter. Our satellite technology allows them to bring you coverage of what’s happening globally. Media uses BGAN and VSAT technology to deliver live audio and video broadcasts, store and forward video news clips and provide reporters out in the field with access to their office resources.

Media coverage is an important piece of public safety. When there’s impending bad weather, a natural disaster, terrorist attack or other threat to public safety, media coverage helps keep the public in the loop so that they can make it to a safe area and get instructions from public safety organizations.

Utilities 

Utility companies use our satellite communications to expedite field operations, ensure the safety of their field staff and keep their infrastructure in working order so that you don’t lose access to the utilities you need every day. There is a massive infrastructure behind every service you get in your home and business: electric, gas, water, etc. This infrastructure is usually widespread, so companies need a technological solution to help them monitor the condition of their equipment. Utilities can use Smart Grid, SCADA, M2M applications to monitor, analyze, report, and control applications, as well as access and process real-time and historical data at an astonishing speed. And because all of this data isn’t passing through potentially congested and limited terrestrial cellular towers, utility companies are able to monitor their infrastructure consistently to ensure you have power, water, electric and any other utilities that you need to live. The men and women behind the scenes at the utility companies can also work more safely when they have to do repairs in remote locations because satellite technology allows them to be in constant communication with their home offices.

These industries and other rely on our satellite telecommunications and the kind of mobile technology that provides reliable communication across the globe for about the same cost as terrestrial cellular services.
