The Ultimate Fire Fighting Satcom Solutions

Overview of satellite VSAT

The concept and idea of satellite communication was put forward by Britishman Arthur C. Clarke in October 1945. On April 6, 1965, the first practical commercial communication satellite, also known as the "Early Bird," was launched. After many years of development and improvement, satellite communication technology has achieved tremendous progress.

In practice, artificial satellites are used as relays to forward or transmit corresponding radio signals, and communication is carried out between two or more ground stations.

Currently, the further promotion and application of satellite VSAT technology has become increasingly mature and increasingly widely used in the firefighting communication command field in many advanced countries worldwide. It also has a very wide range of applications in rescue departments, highlighting huge application advantages.

Analysis of Satcom Solutions for Firefighting

Satellite communication is a new emerging space communication technology that has significant advantages, including wider communication ranges, more significant anti-obstruction capabilities, and is less prone to negative interference from land-related disasters in actual operations. The construction speed is relatively fast, which can effectively solve the problems of traditional communication technologies.

Further effective introduction of satellite communication technology in the field of firefighting communication technology to create firefighting VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) satellite communication system. This can fundamentally solve the existing problems in the current firefighting communication process, providing more feasible and optimized ultimate solution.

The core content involved in the firefighting VSAT satellite VSAT system mainly reflects synchronous satellite communication technology. This technology can integrate the advantages of multiple technologies, achieve complementary advantages, such as more effective integration of wireless communication technology, multi-protocol voice real-time interaction technology, real-time image transmission technology, computer-aided decision-making technology, and other related contents. These parts can be combined to form a high-quality emergency communication and command system. In practice, the system can be fully utilized to ensure that the global coverage function of synchronous satellites and the mobile characteristics of mobile carriers are fully realized, and to ensure the construction of mobile or fixed communication station points within the scope of satellite coverage. This can ensure the effective transmission and communication of various dynamic images, voices, videos, and other related materials at any station point.

The components involved in the firefighting VSAT satellite communication system mainly include two parts: fixed parts and mobile parts. The fixed parts mainly include firefighting communication command centers, video surveillance systems, and satellite ground stations. The mobile parts mainly include satellite communication vehicles and mobile command vehicles.

At the scene of disasters, the mobile command vehicle can focus on the collection of on-site pictures and command work. The mobile command vehicle transmits the collected data to the satellite communication vehicle in a timely manner, and the communication vehicle uses the method of satellite communication to transmit the relevant data to the system's fixed satellite ground station effectively. After the ground station resolves the data, it video-transmits the corresponding data to the video surveillance system. In such situations, the command center can make corresponding remote decisions based on the specific situation and real-time data, thus formulating more optimized command and dispatch plans.

Meanwhile, corresponding video data can also be transmitted to remote experts in the first time via Internet, PSTN, or IPPBX special lines, to assist decision-making work in this process.
