Government

As natural disasters around the globe such as the tsunami in Japan or the flooding of the Rhine in Cologne have clearly shown, the first thing to become non-operational is the power grid - leaving the GSM, DSL and fibre infrastructure powerless and dysfunctional.

So how can Hughes technologies help in the wake of such catastrophes?

• Getting emergency communications restored, not only for first responders but also in getting standard utility services such as banking and postal services back up and running, there is only one way to ensure reliable communication - satellite.

• Yet restoring communication immediately after the emergency is only half the story: making sure in advance that government employees are well-prepared and ready is nearly as important.  And here, Hughes eLearning and Distance education platform are uniquely suited to train all branches of the government in preparing for any emergency.
