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.

That could spell disaster in this region where sudden summertime storms howl in from eastern Oregon, bringing dry lightning that can ignite fast-moving wildfires on sage- and juniper-covered hillsides. Unchecked, the flames could quickly turn this old mining town’s historic wooden buildings to ashes. This spring, Nettleton and six other Owyhee County ranchers who make their livelihoods in some of America’s most remote backcountry began carrying satellite telephones provided by the federal Bureau of Land […]
How Rugged Solutions Improve Response to Natural Disaster Trends
Global natural disasters have increased more than ten times from 1960 to 2019, quantifying a trend many people have observed. During this period, the number of natural hazards exploded from 39 to 396 events per year. In addition to the tragic loss of human life, these events carry billion-dollar economic losses that local and federal governments must cover. As a result, regions feel the effects of even one catastrophic climate event long after it ends. Extreme weather events are the primary driver of the surge in natural disasters. Two other global macro trends that raise the frequency of extreme weather impacting humans are urbanization […]
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 […]
