From worsening natural disasters to a global pandemic, the world has changed rapidly in only a few short years—as have the challenges that law enforcement, public safety, and first responders encounter. Now, more than ever, having the ability to communicate quickly and reliably—outside of vulnerable terrestrial infrastructure—is mission critical.
What’s the solution in an ever-changing world? Ligado’s MSATe Push-to-Talk (PTT) Mobile Satellite Radio.
The Benefits of the MSATe PTT Satellite Radio
In a major disaster, emergency responders come from multiple agencies, and in some cases, other states. This can present a challenge when trying to coordinate relief efforts, as each responder agency has different communication equipment on different networks, channels, or frequencies.
The MSATe PPT satellite radio allows first responders to communicate reliably across agencies on a secure network, from anywhere in North America, all at the push of a button. Designed for use on the Ligado MSAT network, it’s completely independent of terrestrial infrastructure that can be damaged or otherwise disabled from natural disasters or other catastrophic events. Additionally, the MSATe provides a stronger signal in areas where traditional radios lack the necessary signal to function properly. When radios fail, it’s more than a technological problem; in an emergency, it could mean the difference between life and death.
The newest model in the Ligado MSAT lineup, the MSATe features the same unfailing reliability of the MSAT G2 PTT satellite radio, however, it now comes with an enhanced HA40 master headset and more rugged enclosure designed to improve the product’s longevity. It’s cost-effective, powerful, and flexible, supporting PTT, voice, and data communications, as well as GPS capability and interconnectivity with a range of third-party interoperability interfaces.
The MSATe is available in fixed, mobile, and maritime configurations, making it perfect for law enforcement, first responders, military, commercial transportation providers, forestry, construction, and utilities. It’s fully downward compatible and interoperable with all MSAT radios and talk groups; connect to up to 10,000 radios per group or talk privately on a 1-1 PTT call.
Other key features include:
- Seamless coverage across North America
- Purpose-built for PTT
- Highly reliable, even in the most extreme environments
- Simple to set up and use
