The challenge
Terrestrial networks are frequently unavailable or overloaded during disaster response. Emergency services need reliable, low-cost connectivity for many users across a region, including voice, data, fleet telemetry and field radio integration.
- Damaged or congested terrestrial communications.
- Response teams moving beyond normal network coverage.
- Disconnected radio, voice, tracking and telemetry systems.
- Need to connect many responders in the same affected region.
The HiSKY solution
HiSKY combines satellite IoT/M2M and voice over Ka/Ku-band GEO satellites. Smartellite™ Dynamic terminals connect smart devices and support LMR/DMR/P25 radios through a dedicated RF relay box. Space Control (NMS) enables remote configuration and management of the network.
- Communications while response vehicles are on the move.
- Voice and chat through smart devices or supported field radios.
- Fleet tracking, routing, SOS alerts and vehicle telemetry.
- Optional satellite/LTE connectivity through an external LTE router.
What the solution enables
Continuity
A satellite path when terrestrial systems are damaged or unavailable.
Interoperability
Field radios, smart devices and operations centers on one architecture.
Awareness
Live fleet position, telemetry, alerts and logs.
Scale
Regional connectivity for emergency and recovery teams.
