Factors Impacting the Utilities Sector Today and Tomorrow
The utilities sector has undergone fundamental shifts in the past few years. While traditionally, work processes have been chiefly manually recorded, digitalization has been helping garner efficiencies in incremental ways. Rugged mobile tablets, connected to enterprise asset management systems and resource planning software, have decreased errors and time inefficiencies associated with all-manual processes. But this is not enough. External forces such as labor shortage, the COVID-19 pandemic, and climate change are just a few that will strain the utilities industry. Utilities must get more innovative and embrace digital transformation more thoroughly to meet these challenges. A few factors have already shaped how […]
Best Satellite Phones Today
With societies becoming increasingly interconnected, communication holds a vital role in influencing how we interact with one another. Satellite phones have been pivotal in revolutionizing communications by providing robust signals even where traditional cell phone towers fall short — particularly within remote areas where connectivity can be challenging. They leverage geostationary satellites orbiting above the Earth’s atmosphere. They are accessible at any time globally with minimal interference issues and stable high-quality bandwidths that facilitate constant availability, making them perfect for people living off the grid. Our choice for the #1 Best Overall Satellite Phone Today is Iridium 9575 Extreme. Satellite phones […]
6 Reasons to Use Rugged Devices for Ambulance Services
Rugged devices for ambulance services can improve the time and efficiency of their goals. In a world dominated by digital transformation, it’s no surprise to see digital solutions replacing pen-and-paper workflows. This can be applied throughout various industries from manufacturing to healthcare. Emergency medical services (EMS) is an area that can benefit enormously from the introduction of digital solutions. The use of rugged devices can speed up workflows and save precious, lifesaving minutes and seconds. Paramedics have traditionally relied on handwritten notes and records, and voice-based communication via two-way radios. With digital transformation, users can streamline these processes, put more […]
Hurricanes, Cyclones, and Typhoons Explained
Tropical Cyclone Amanda The names of the powerful storms that form in the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific—whether hurricane, cyclone, or typhoon—depends on where they form. Tropical Cyclone Amanda was a category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson scale imaged by NASA’s Aqua satellite. Reposted from: https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/hurricanes-cyclones-and-typhoons-explained/ Centuries ago European explorers learned the indigenous word hurakan, signifying evil spirits and weather gods, to describe the storms that battered their ships in the Caribbean. Today, “hurricane” is one of three names for giant, spiraling tropical storms with winds of at least 119 kilometers (74 miles) an hour. Called hurricanes when they develop over the North Atlantic, […]
Satellite Phones as an essential tool after a disaster: Voice as the most basic need
Satellite Phone in a disaster: Sarasota, Florida, United States, Oct. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The importance of satellite communication during and after a natural disaster such as Hurricane Ian. It’s safe to say that today’s businesses and governments couldn’t function without the Internet, voice communication and other forms of modern telecommunications. Everything from running the business to handling finances, logistics, internal and external communications, and utilizing various safety devices. Few, however, appreciate that all these systems are land based and hence vulnerable to the effects of both natural and man-made disasters. When a disaster strikes, cellular infrastructure can be […]
