Satellite Telecommunications for Global Disasters

When disaster strikes, one need to act fast, and after emergencies, technical support and innovative solutions can make a difference in rehabilitation and reconstruction. The European Satellite Operators' Association (ESOA) represents an industry that delivers critical communications services to areas hit by crisis, often with hours. UNOSAT, the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Programme, is in charge of providing satellite-based solutions and support to the international development and humanitarian communities.
