First Responders

Emergency Communications by Satellite

First responders don’t know what situation they’re stepping into – so being able to reliably communicate with each other and with the control center helps to ensure their safety, coordinate their response more effectively, analyse the situation, make adjustments, and ultimately, save lives.

For critical voice, data and video needs, delivered over satellite and cellular networks, Emergency Responders trust Ground Control to support their agency.
