Network

Natural disasters can strike with little warning, leaving a trail of destruction and disrupting communication infrastructure. Disaster management solutions and early warning systems are paramount in mitigating catastrophic events. Preparation and prevention are essential when dealing with phenomena like earthquakes and tsunamis. Strategic deployment of diverse sensors is crucial, but the environment is often challenging for effective monitoring and control.
Unlike traditional communication networks that disasters can damage, hiSky’s satellite communication provides reliable and guaranteed connectivity during disasters and emergencies. SLA-based service ensures unmatched uptime and constant flow of critical information to facilitate effective disaster response. Regardless of the situation, hiSky’s robust equipment is designed to all-weather functionality, withstand harsh outdoor conditions and ensure uninterrupted communication during a natural disaster.

The Power of Satellites in Disaster Management Solutions and Disaster Response

Satellite communication in general, and hiSky’s network in particular, offers a unique advantage in emergency management and response, enabling:

Data Collection for Smarter Response: hiSky’s network enables the real-time data collection from every corner of the planet. This includes sensor data that can trigger automated alarms and provide a comprehensive picture of the situation, empowering a data-driven response.
Uninterrupted Service During a Disaster: Usually, after a disaster has started, the ability to communicate is lost due to the load on the cellular network. hiSky’s system is designed as a private network; it is resilient and remains operational during disasters. This uninterrupted service empowers emergency responders, providing them with constant data to make informed decisions throughout the disaster response phase.

Unleashing a Robust Hybrid LTE-Satellite System

Bridge the gap by offering a hybrid network that automatically switches satellite and LTE communication for reliability and cost-effective network:

Disaster Preparedness with Guaranteed Communication: hiSky’s technology ensures communication channels remain open before, during, and after a natural disaster strikes with established robust infrastructure in remote and vulnerable zones.
Unparalleled Connectivity: Constant connectivity that empowers emergency teams to coordinate effectively and locate those in need.

Overcoming Challenges in Communication During a Disaster

Communication is paramount during any natural disaster. Traditional communication infrastructure often fails under pressure, hindering rescue efforts and isolating victims.

Focus on Early Warning Systems: hiSky networks act as riselient communication channel for robust natural disaster warning systems that can detect and predict potential disasters, saving lives and minimizing damage. Early warnings empower communities to take preventative measures and evacuate vulnerable areas before a natural disaster strikes.
Limited Reach: Terrestrial networks often lack coverage in remote areas, further isolating vulnerable populations during a natural disaster.
Infrastructure Damage: Disasters can devastate terrestrial communication towers and cables, creating communication blackouts that impede emergency management efforts.

hiSky’s Rugged Smartellite™: Built to Withstand Any Challenge

Constructed with rugged materials hiSky’s Smartellite™ terminals ensures reliable operation even in the harshest weather.
The easy- to-use Smartellite™ terminals can be quickly installed and get you online fast. Whether you prefer wired reliability or the flexibility of Wi-Fi, these versatile terminals offer both options. This ease of use ensures critical communication channels remain open during disaster response.

The Power of Networks: A Web of Resilience

hiSky’s network infrastructure is designed to handle large-scale deployments:

Scalable Network for Disaster Management: hiSky’s network can easily handle thousands of terminals simultaneously for both message-based monitoring and real-time transmissions of alarms. This allows for creating a comprehensive data collection web across vast off-grid territories.
Cost-Effective Solution: A large-scale network is remarkably cost-effective with hiSky for establishing communication networks. This allows for disaster management solutions and preparedness on a budget, ensuring critical communication infrastructure is in place well before disaster strikes.
