Speaking over satellite when disaster strikes

We have a longstanding history providing crucial safety services during emergencies. When extreme weather like floods, hurricanes or fires disrupt cellular networks, our highly reliable L-band satellite connectivity becomes a lifeline. It’s crucial in helping emergency services coordinate rescue and recovery efforts and allows those affected to contact family and friends.

Our new ELEVATE partner Skymira, understands the importance of this mission, having joined the program to increase its footprint and collaborate with other members in this vital area.

The company, founded in 1998, specializes in integrating radio systems with advanced satellite-based solutions for critical communications. It offers push-to-talk (PTT) communications over satellite, enhanced by GPS tracking technologies. These capabilities enable secure and reliable connectivity, supporting business continuity for diverse industries across expansive territories and remote locations.

With advanced satellite-based communications, its technology can support NGOs, public safety, and government agencies during the most challenging times. Its secure push-to-talk (PTT) radios and other devices help frontline workers stay connected over vast distances in remote and disaster-prone regions.  This includes establishing radio communication links and tracking vehicles, people, and equipment in the harshest conditions.

The company provides an array of communication solutions, including PTT over satellite, in-vehicle communication setups, deployable radio GoKITs, and GPS tracking with mapping integrations. Beyond emergency services these solutions are also widely used by industry operating in highly remote areas – including mining, utilities, agriculture, and energy.

As a new ELEVATE solution partner, Skymira will gain access to our highly reliable, global L-band satellite network and our wider partner ecosystem. This collaboration aims to enhance the coverage and reliability of their solutions and open up new commercial opportunities.

With the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, companies like Skymira will play a vital role in ensuring that people can stay connected and safe via satellite, no matter where  they are.
