RoGO Communications and LBiSat are partnering to deliver GPS tracking and remote connectivity for situational awareness and tactical collaboration for a common operational picture.
LBiSat provides satellite communications using Continuity+ and Personal Cell Tower to Incident Command Posts to establish and manage emergency responses. LBiSat provides a full range of business continuity and disaster response services, including engineers for remote mobile installs and support, and communication trailers.
RoGO DropBlocks can be immediately deployed for tactical coordination and lifesaving situational awareness, including the GPS location for wildland firefighters, resources and weather data to monitor wildfire threats. Initially engineered to save lives of wildland firefighters to avoid being trapped by the spread of the fire, DropBlocks also support other first responders in other emergencies.
The new satellite communication DropBlocks 2.0 are smaller in size and weight to be carried by wildland firefighters, often hiking into the wilderness in remote areas where cellular networks are typically not available.
DropBlocks also share hyper-local weather information from portable weather stations, including wind speed, direction, temperature, humidity and other IoT sensor data. Immediate tactical coordination and lifesaving situational awareness is enabled by DropBlocks that track the location of crews, equipment and resources including bulldozers, water tenders, fire engines, high-value structures, medical evacuation rescue and makeshift water resources.
