We are pleased to have a mobile satellite communication terminal that will assist us with
internet communication during a blackout or when traditional network access is unavailable.
This equipment and a data package were through partnership with Strigo.
This system uses geo-stationary satellite and ground technologies that will allow us to
communicate during challenging disaster situations.
