As a global hub of invention and innovation, it was only natural for San Francisco to host the 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit Economic Leaders’ Week (AELW), a momentous event attended by prominent political and economic figures from around the world, including President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Marked as one of the most momentous gatherings of world leaders in San Francisco’s recent history, the event required meticulous planning, stringent security measures, and robust communication infrastructure.
To help the city prepare and safeguard the event against potential threats such as domestic or foreign terrorism, natural disasters, and other potentially dangerous situations, numerous agencies turned to Remote Satellite Systems.
Ensuring Reliability and Enhancing Communication Infrastructure
Our expertise in global security communications and integrating blended technologies for resiliency and redundancy played a vital role in preparing every facet of the summit for unforeseen emergencies.
Much of the existing communications infrastructure was decades old; to ensure everything was working properly, our team conducted thorough inspections. While some systems simply needed reconfiguration, others were essentially inoperable and needed repair, replacement, or technological upgrades.
Those discoveries highlighted the importance of having routine equipment assessments, especially in vital sectors like emergency management, public safety, and government services. Even if a robust blended communication system is already in place, inspections are crucial for catching potential issues and ensuring the equipment remains in good working order. Without these periodic checks, malfunctions or complete failures could occur and compromise the reliability of your system at the most critical times.
In addition, Remote Satellite Systems provided training to ensure all personnel were adept at using it. This comprehensive approach not only involved addressing issues staff may have had with the equipment, but also empowering them to act quickly in an emergency. By understanding how to use the equipment most effectively, government and public safety agencies were better prepared to address any situation promptly and efficiently.
