5/4/23, 2:23 PM Satellite communications: Revolutionising connectivity and solving global challenges - SatellitePro ME
Satellite technologies have become widely used by first responders’

units due to their autonomy, high deployment speed, high throughput,

and cost-effectiveness. This allows for the provision of qualified

assistance to victims immediately after an incident, significantly

increasing the likelihood of saving lives. As an active player in the

satellite communications market, Intersputnik — an international

intergovernmental organisation headquartered in Moscow carrying a

50-year legacy — provides bandwidth for satellite communication

channels to support telemedicine services for medical organisations,

establishments, teams, and first responders’ units worldwide. This

also includes projects in developing countries.

Satellite Solutions Sowing the Seeds of Precision Farming:

Satellite communications are also being used to provide solutions to

global food security challenges. Farmers can utilise satellite data to

monitor crop growth and predict yields, allowing them to make

informed decisions about when to plant, fertilise, and harvest their

crops. Additionally, satellite imagery is used to monitor the health of

forests and oceans, helping prevent deforestation and overfishing.

The implementation of precision farming technology offers various

benefits, such as reducing fuel usage, optimising labour costs,

applying fertilisers in a targeted and controlled manner, timely use of
