Emergency services find an answer to the problems surrounding rapid deployment of high speed communications services at the scene of a major incident.

New mobile satellite Internet platform provides rapid deployment of communications services at the scene of a disaster or major incident. Great interest has been received from many sectors such as emergency services, military, relief aid agencies and Government departments.

(PRWEB) January 5, 2004 --DSL-SAT Limited announced the launch of a fully automatic mobile Internet platform designed for mounting onto the roof of a Command and Control vehicle.

Whilst DSL-SAT are a provider of satellite broadband services to commercial and home users, their specialist knowledge into the problems facing the emergency services in providing rapid deployment of a fast, secure Internet service have given birth to a product marketed under the name of SATSEEKä

SATSEEK is a mobile satellite platform that offers the ability to locate and lock onto any satellite the operator selects where the vehicle is under the satellite footprint.

Once the satellite is located the broadband service offered to the emergency services is an un-contended broadband link, which allows high-speed file transfer, essential for delivering large files such as contingency plans or building schematics directly to the scene.

The solution offered also provides the facility for the emergency services to be able to deploy portable tripod or vehicle-mounted cameras at the scene of a disaster or major incident which then allows the transmission of video or thermal imaging back to the Command and Control vehicle. Because of the dedicated bandwidth in use, this vehicle is then able to stream multiple video or thermal images back to Headquarters, allowing senior management and incident specialists, the opportunity to see first hand real time images captured at the scene of the incident, directly on their computer screens.

Additional benefits of Voice over IP services, allows voice communications over the dedicated link. This benefits the emergency services in providing voice communication in areas where mobile phone and radio communication are ineffective.

Managing Director, Steve Reed said, We are all very excited that our development team have managed to produce a solution that goes a long way in solving the communications needs of the emergency services and by doing so, have improved the level of safety of emergency service personnel, at the scene of an incident."

SATSEEK has developed interest from market sectors such as Government Departments, Military, Petrochemical and Commercial applications, worldwide.
