FIGHTING FIRE WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS
REDSAT provides a nomadic communications solution for fire-fighters

Selected by regional fire and relief services in France, REDSAT is a turnkey service developed by Satxpro. The service enables a complete communications network to be set up by one person in just 20 minutes, to connect regional fire-fighter central command and relief locations.

Easily transportable, the REDSAT system can be deployed on-ground or mounted on a vehicle. It can be operated in extreme conditions and has high wind and storm resistance.

Based on Eutelsat’s D-STAR product, the basic ground station can provide relief teams with telephone and fax connection to headquarters, and broadband Internet connectivity for e-mail and file exchange. The high-speed Internet connection enables mobile command posts to access information such as maps and to simulate the propagation and direction of a fire, in order to pilot and synchronise on-site activity as efficiently as possible.

Satxpro has also developed extension modules for specific requirements such as monitoring from aircraft, telemetry and video transmission.
