It seems that Mother Nature is everywhere in the news recently. From Hurricane Harvey’s devastating flooding in Houston to wildfires raging across Oregon, California, and Montana, first responders are working tirelessly to protect homes and lives. When lives are on the line, they need communication that works. Satellite technology can be used in rural areas where there is no established ground connection and devastated places that have had networks disabled. This makes technology, like the MSAT G2 Satellite Radio, essential to emergency personnel.
Remote Satellite Systems has many push to talk radio over satellite options, and is especially excited about the growth and reliability of the MSAT- G2 Network. The MSAT-G2 was the first of its kind with Push-To-Talk radio functionality for the US Public Safety sector.. With traditional cell phones and radios, natural disasters may knock out power lines and affect network connection. With SMART Talk Groups from MSAT, emergency professionals are able to use PTT technology to coordinate with other agencies, ensuring they can use time and resources efficiently to save lives.
The features of the MSAT-G2 make it perfect for fire, police, search and rescue, and other emergency responders. This device has the capability to interface into an existing radio dispatch console, making it ideal for easy integration and use in Public Safety organizations. It supports a continent-wide group and private Push-To-Talk communications, as well as the making and receiving telephone calls. It also has GPS capability, and Land Mobile and Maritime antenna options give users advanced satellite tracking ability, allowing them to communicate wherever they are located.
Remote Satellite Systems is proud to work with various governmental organizations to ensure public safety. We recently helped the Marin Rural Fire Department and the Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) set up a reliable and rugged solution to their communication problems, using MSAT PTT technology. Many cities, counties, and towns are turning to the MSAT G2 Satellite for their emergency services professionals. Let RSSI help you find the perfect solution for your needs.
