Reliable Robust Rescue
When disaster strikes, communication is critical. In The Fast Mode, Darren Ludington, ST Engineering iDirect’s Regional VP of America Sales, explores how satellite technology ensures reliable connectivity when terrestrial networks fail. With climate change driving more frequent and severe disasters, he highlights real-world deployments with Verizon Frontline and the role of satcom in crisis response.
Shaping the Future of Preparedness
Interoperability is key to effective disaster response, and at INTEROP 2024, ST Engineering iDirect joined Verizon Frontline to test and enhance emergency communication capabilities. Our satellite technology ensures reliable connectivity- from large-scale simulations to real-world deployments, we continue to support first responders with resilient, high-performance solutions.
Reliable Connectivity When It Matters Most: Powering Disaster Response with Verizon
When infrastructure is down during a major disaster, ST Engineering iDirect and Verizon Frontlines are providing critical satellite communications to keep first responders connected.
During a recent exercise, Verizon and ST Engineering iDirect partnered to test mission-critical communication capabilities under extreme conditions, including a 100,000+ attendee event, a cyber attack, and a terrorist attack. Verizon deployed cutting-edge solutions like real-time aerial mapping, Tactical Command Trailers, and the High Altitude Wireless Keenan (HAWK) drone. Backed by iDirect’s satellite technology, the exercise showcased how seamless connectivity empowers first responders in crisis scenarios.
This collaboration underscores the vital role of satellite communications in ensuring resilience and readiness when it matters most.
