Satellite Phones

Communication plays an integral role in disaster management. Response and Recovery phase needs more information and communicative means. All conventional methods of communication including land phone and cell phone which connects through terrestrial network could be down during and post disaster period. Moreover, most mobile telephone networks operate close to capacity during normal times and large spikes in call volumes caused by widespread emergencies often overload the system just when it is needed the most. The satellite phone or satphone operate directly through geo-stationery satellite and therefore can avoid this problem and provide failsafe communication in any eventuality.
