Satellite Communication and Forest Protection

• Topics For Today's Discussion
• Why Use Satellite Communications?
• What Types of Devices are Available and What are
  the typical uses for these devices in Forest
  Protection today?
• What are the Typical Costs of Satellite
  Communications?
• Questions for you to Answer about utilising
  communications in Forest Protection

Satellite Communication and Forest Protection

• Advantages of Satellite Communications
• Remote Capabilities
• Satellite communication does not require any
  ground infrastructure such as towers etc. for
  communications
• Device Variety
• Large variety of devices from hand held
  phones to small earth stations providing
  differing levels of connectivity for different
  purposes

5
Satellite Communication and Forest Protection

• Availability
• Most satellite systems designed to provide
  connectivity with a high degree of availability.
  (No busy signal) For Emergency Use Connectivity
  is excellent where other networks will get
  congested
• Can Supply Point to Multi Point and Point to
  Point Connectivity
• Multiple users can listen to each other as a
  group / broadcast the same information to several
  remotes

6
Satellite Communication and Forest Protection

• Portable
• From hand held / pick up / airplane/ helicopter
• Can tie in Radio Networks
• Can provide extended radio network connectivity
  either temporarily or permanently

7
Satellite Communication and Forest Protection

• Communication solution for Aircraft and
  Helicopters
