Emergency Services - Prepare in Advance. Respond in Minutes.
Lives are at stake. Rescue crews need to spring into action and supplies are desperately needed. Damage assessment and logistics coordination are critical in the first minutes and hours of a disaster situation. Developing a response plan to meet those needs immediately makes a tremendous difference in success of the response.
On Call Communications is your Partner in Disaster Response
Planning Before, During and After an Emergency Event.
Each project is unique;the On Call Communications Engineering team goes beyond just satellite antennas and bandwidth to help you put everything together into an integrated emergency response plan. Disaster Response is an ongoing process, not a single day meeting or an equipment purchase. The team listens to your needs, analyzes existing systems and works with you to develop a cost effective plan to deliver the communications you need quickly and efficiently. We are with you throughout the entire process: developing a plan, implementing it, training, providing technical support during an event and conducting a post event analysis to pinpoint success and areas of improvement.
What should you expect when you work with us?
You should anticipate a collaborative approach to designing your solution. We promise not to try to stuff your project into a one size fits all solution. You should be prepared to answer lots of questions about your needs and goals and we are prepared to answer lots of questions from you too.
What are some elements of a well designed emergency response plan that we'll help you consider? For example:
How many simultaneous users do you anticipate on the system?
What types of communications do you need to manage?
Throughout the consultation process we'll help you select:
Fixed or Portable Satellite Antennas
QuickSPOT
mobile antenna systems are an ideal solution for rapid deployments. React quickly to
events with a system easily operated by non-technical personnel. Mobile
terminals can be stored safely indoors during storms or other events and then
deployed in minutes to nearly any location when they are needed. Available in Fly-Away , Fly and Drive or Vehicle Mount
designs and a variety of sizes and formats, QuickSPOT accommodates most any circumstance.
Fixed satellite antennas are ideal for hot standby backup systems or communications centers. Always ready and an excellent option for situations when a headquarters site may need to communicate directly with other remote terminals.
QuickSPOT systems are designed to be user friendly and easily operable by non-technical personnel. Satellite baseband and auxiliary
equipment is pre-configured and mounted in ruggedized shock mount cases
designed for easy transport and quick deployment. This puts you in control of communications links that you can establish within minutes of arrival on scene.
The incidents where communications are most critical occur without
warning. OnDemand bandwidth provides the communications links you need
immediately upon system deployment with no need to call ahead for
service. Flexible billing plans let you purchase dedicated space by
the minute, day, week or month with no minimum commitment and without
expensive monthly service fees.
