Government agencies around the world rely on satellite communications as a key part of their every day business, often supporting mission critical operations.
From providing simple broadband connectivity to delivering a wide range of voice, video and data services, the benefits of satellite communications vary widely depending on the application.
The continuity of operations during a natural or manmade disaster is priority number one for many federal agencies. The damage or demand on traditional land-line networks during times of crisis may interrupt service and prohibit normal operations. Satellite services provide a ready, reliable solution able to quickly recover from emergency situations and scale capacity as needed to accommodate a surge in volume.
Responding quickly in an emergency is also a key function of many civilian agencies. Emergency response teams need to be able to deploy services, supplies and medical aid into the field as efficiently as possible. Satellite networks allow them to quickly set up emergency communications networks.
Satellite is not just relied on in times of emergency. It’s used every day for training and education, both in schools and the workforce. Satellite allows for the large scale distribution of content, or for two way communication through voice, video or data networks.
One thing necessary in all these applications of satellite technology is broadband connectivity, large amounts of data being transmitted in both directions. iGT provides an ideal solution for enabling the most efficient two-way communications network over satellite.
