Two of Our Long-Time Power Users
Mike Libecki
Longtime customer and friend Mike Libecki is the quintessential example of a Remote Satellite user. Named a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year in 2013, Mike is one of the world’s most respected explorers. Whether hiking through the Northern Arctic or scaling 2,000 ft. cliff faces in Borneo, Mike knows that whenever he needs to call home to his daughter Liliana his Satphone will get the job done.
What does he use?
Mike relies on the Iridium 9575, a small yet durable Portable Satellite phone. While it looks just like an ordinary cellphone, this industrial grade phone can go anywhere Mike can.
Why does he need one?
Libecki’s focus on solo expeditions and solo climbs puts him in a much more dangerous position than the vast majority of explorers. This means that the sat phone he travels with is often his only lifeline, one that absolutely cannot fail.
When does he use it?
Ever the family man, Mike had to learn to find balance between the life of an adventurer and the responsibilities of being a father.
What does he have to say?
“On over 65 expeditions around the world to literally the most remote areas on the planet, I have relied on Remote Satellite Systems International for all of my satellite communications. From satellite phones to Internet in the field, including remote video chatting flawlessly, they have made sure everything has worked flawlessly. From huge National Geographic expeditions to Antarctica, to Discovery Channel in Siberia, and countless other companies that rely on my decisions, I have relied on RSSI to make 100% sure our communications are the last thing I need to worry about and focus on the expedition demands in front of me. Most importantly, they have kept me in touch with my daughter and family from the field, which is the key to my success.”

Roz Savage
Adventurer and environmentalist Roz Savage doesn’t have much room for error when it comes to emergency communications. Another National Geographic Adventurer of the Year (2010), Roz was the first woman to row solo across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. During her many months navigating from California to Hawaii to Kiribati to Papua New Guinea, Roz’s phone is the only line of communication she has on the open seas.
What does she use?
When needing to speak to someone beside marine mammals, Roz turns to the Iridium 9505A. Lightweight and reliable, this Iridium is small enough to take on a voyage where space is at a premium.
Why does she need it?
The first woman to row solo across three oceans, Roz is always at the mercy of Mother Nature. When the seas start storming, a call for help can be the difference between life and death. Even better, Roz never has to change phone providers when she rows into new country’s waters.
When does she use it?
Whether calling for supplies or finding the next weeks weather forecast, Roz knows she can always rely on her satellite phone, no matter which ocean she sails.
What does she have to say?
“When you’re rowing solo across oceans for months at a time, your Satphone connection is, in a very real sense, a lifeline. Rob and his team provided exemplary service for my Pacific and Indian Ocean crossings, helping me find the best solution for my coms needs, and providing emergency support while I was on the ocean – even on a weekend. I wholeheartedly recommend RSSI to all adventurers, seafarers, and anyone else who needs to stay connected from the remotest parts of our planet.”

Many changes and advancements in technology have been made to public safety satellite communication systems in light of recent tragedies. In the past, public safety officials relied heavily on radio technology to transmit vital information over terrestrial systems regarding emergency situations and catastrophic events to help boost response times.
To facilitate the speed and efficiency of communication, data and connectivity, 
When it comes to environmental monitoring, you need an application that has many sensors and early warning systems in place to keep you alert of any changes in real time. Environmental monitoring satellite communication solutions featuring GX technology make it possible for you to manage and monitor any environment remotely and onsite. Using 
Improving Disaster Communication Infrastructure
As the face of technology continues to transform the way businesses operate, the need to improve communication infrastructure remains. Many organizations find themselves in a race against the clock to find the missing link that will allow them to enhance their communications without affecting their bottom-line. Fortunately, business on demand satellite communication is the key.
