Public Safety Satellite

Communication Solutions

Recent years have seen the number of disasters rise sharply—hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, floods, landslides. Emergencies are an ever-present possibility. Are your communications ready?

You Are Not Prepared Until Your Communications Are

COOP for Man-Made, Technological or Natural DisastersIn the event of a natural disaster or

other emergency, ensuring continuity of

operations (COOP) saves lives. Reliable,

quickly deployable communications are the

key. Inmarsat Government has the expertise

and technology you need to develop your

COOP and Disaster Recovery (DR) plans.

Highly Adaptable, Flexible DR SolutionsInmarsat Government DR solutions are

designed to adapt to your needs—now

and as they change over time. They can be

customized for any government organization,

using proven COOP methodologies and

reliable technologies. They can support

multiple redundant sites within the U.S.,

using Inmarsat Government technology.

Hybrid Satellite and Terrestrial NetworkInmarsat Government provides satellite

and terrestrial network solutions that

deliver secure, reliable IP connectivity and

configurable bandwidth to support your

applications and services. Our network

uses Inmarsat’s platform and redundant

terrestrial private line connections into our

global MPLS backbone.

Event Driven Usage Include:

Small mobile terminals for first in teams

Command vehicle connectivity

Voice communications with satphones

Tracking supplies and assets

Deployables

As the United States prepares to deploy a nationwide public safety broadband network

(NPSBN), satellite communications is at the forefront for delivering extended coverage

and resiliency in the network. Inmarsat Government offers solutions for state and federal

partners to meet the coverage and reliability objectives.

With so much of the U.S. being remote it is

not economically feasible to cover these

areas in terrestrial networks. But officials

who work in these isolated areas still need

to connect. And we know emergencies can

happen anywhere.

Satellite networks can provide voice and

data connectivity to public safety officials

enabling them to effectively do their job

where terrestrial cellular and Land Mobile

Radio (LMR) networks don’t reach. And

since satellite is not dependent on existing

terrestrial networks it is inherently resilient.

Single, Remote UsersSatellite can provide connectivity to areas

typically considered inaccessible or when

a deployable is not available. With a BGAN

terminal you could connect a remote outpost,

field office or set up a local wifi hotspot. With

a blue tooth connection or an IsatHub you

can turn a regular smart phone into a satellite

phone, video conference, or connect a tablet

to a private broadband network, with speeds

up to 492Kbps. Faster speeds are possible

with VSAT or a vehicle mounted dish.

Augmenting Cellular TechnologyMany rural areas are connected but their

networks are limited. During events and

emergencies, like a festival, concert, mud

slide, forest fire, or evacuation, networks

will easily become congested. Because of

this satellite networks prove invaluable to

first responders. Satellite networks can be

quickly set up with minimal training. They can

replace or augment congested networks and

often use existing equipment. Within a few

minutes someone can create a wifi hotspot

using a BGAN terminal and connect it to a

satellite or an existing cellular network.

Deployables can connect to Inmarsat’s

satellite network and gain reachback from

rural areas to the core network. And with

Global Xpress deployables have access

to throughput speeds up to 50Mbps. This

combined with Inmarsat Government’s dual

satellite stations, terrestrial network and

redundant backups you are given a level of

resiliency that is unheard of with traditional

deployable communications along with

almost unlimited range.

Covering The Last MileApproximately 27% of the U.S. is wilderness and 68% is rural

Backhaul RedundancyThe NPSBN will require greater resiliency

than commercial networks. The FirstNet

Cores can use high capacity satellite links

to insure mission critical data flow even in

major loss of infrastructure.

Extending LMR CoverageSatellite Push to Talk is a complementary

service that connects L-band terminals

to existing LMR radios. By connecting your

radios to Inmarsat’s L-band network it

enables you to access Beyond Line of Sight

communications without the need to modify

the radios’ hardware or the encryption.

Inmarsat’s “Push to Talk” solution is a less

expensive option available to vehicles

and dismounted officers. Since Push to

Talk reuses your existing equipment the

cost of hardware and training have been

kept to a minimum. It is fast to setup and

requires minimal user intervention before

deployment. Push to Talk will extend the

range and capabilities of radios and can

allow full interoperability between civilian

and national guard radios in the event of a

major incident or civil emergency.

Why use satellite:

Best option for remote areas with no LTE coverage (rural, wilderness)

Enable interoperability

Voice and data can be encrypted for additional security

Backhaul voice and/or data to command posts

Provide high throughput to support data intensive applications

Highly reliable throughput

Dedicated bandwidth, terrestrial transport and network infrastructure

Ability to surge bandwidth when desired

More economical than construction of terrestrial network for remote areas
