Emergency satellite communications
When the cellular network is down — flooding, storm damage, civil emergency, supply-chain failure — a satphone in a drawer is the difference between a managed incident and chaos.
Who buys these
- Local authorities and emergency services for command and control during outages
- Hospitals, care homes and care providers for resilient telephony
- Industrial operators — utilities, ports, airfields, sites — for failover voice
- Businesses with field operations or single-point-of-failure connectivity
- Households that have decided not to be cut off
What to specify
- A handset that survives months in a drawer (IsatPhone 2 stands out for this)
- A low-monthly-cost airtime plan that keeps the SIM active
- A documented testing routine — twice a year, minimum
- A printed cheatsheet so someone other than you can use it under pressure
We can write the plan
For organisations, we put together a resilience pack — devices, airtime, training and a quarterly check-call. Get in touch with what you’re trying to protect and we’ll come back with a proposal.
