Keep government, defence and emergency response teams connected with satellite voice, broadband, messaging and tracking solutions designed for operations beyond conventional communications infrastructure.
Explore solutions ↓Field operations can take teams into locations where mobile networks, terrestrial radio systems or fixed communications infrastructure are unavailable, unreliable or disrupted.
Satellite communications provide another layer of operational connectivity. Depending on the requirement, teams can deploy push-to-talk voice, portable broadband, secure two-way messaging, GPS tracking and emergency alerting without relying solely on local infrastructure.
Satellite push-to-talk provides rapid group voice communication across remote and widely distributed teams.
Portable satellite terminals can provide voice and internet access when fixed infrastructure is unavailable.
Messaging and tracking devices can provide location reporting, field updates and emergency alerting.
From instant team voice to deployable broadband and secure personnel messaging, these solutions cover different layers of field communication when local infrastructure cannot be relied upon.
A rugged satellite push-to-talk radio for rapid one-to-many voice communication across remote teams without depending on conventional radio repeaters or cellular infrastructure.
Best for: response teams, field personnel and distributed operational groups that need immediate group voice communication across large geographic areas.
A portable BGAN terminal providing satellite broadband and voice connectivity for teams operating where terrestrial communications are unavailable or disrupted.
Best for: command posts, emergency deployments and mobile field teams that need internet, voice and multiple connected devices from a portable terminal.
A compact Iridium SATCOM device providing two-way messaging, automated GPS position reporting and emergency alerting for personnel operating in remote environments.
Best for: field personnel requiring a compact body-worn communication and tracking device with encrypted data options and low power consumption.
A rapid-response team requiring instant group voice has very different needs from a temporary command post requiring broadband or personnel requiring secure tracking and messaging. Tell us about the operation, deployment area and communication requirements, and our team can help identify suitable equipment.
Operational satellite communications can range from instant team voice to deployable broadband and compact personnel tracking. The right combination depends on the deployment, team structure and information that needs to move between locations.
Satellite systems provide another communication route when mobile, fixed-line or terrestrial radio infrastructure is unavailable, damaged or outside the deployment area. Different satellite systems can support voice, data, messaging and tracking.
Satellite push-to-talk allows a user to press one button and communicate with other users assigned to the same talkgroup. This can provide rapid one-to-many voice communication across teams operating over large geographic areas.
Security capabilities depend on the hardware and service being used. For example, the IC-SAT100 supports AES-256 encrypted PTT communications, while the SHOUT nano 100 supports encrypted data options including AES-256 and PECOS.
Yes. Portable satellite broadband terminals such as the EXPLORER 710 can provide voice and IP data without requiring fixed local communications infrastructure. The appropriate system will depend on bandwidth, coverage and deployment requirements.
Compatible devices can transmit GPS position reports over satellite networks. Devices such as the SHOUT nano 100 can combine automated position reporting with two-way messaging and emergency alerting.
Satellite systems do not depend on the same local cellular towers, fibre connections or terrestrial repeaters as conventional communications. Equipment still requires an appropriate satellite service, power and suitable access to the satellite network.
Requirements for larger deployments can include hardware selection, airtime, talkgroups, tracking, device management and different communication methods for different teams. Speak to GTC about the deployment size and operational requirements to determine an appropriate configuration.
