Weeks later, many are still dealing with the impact on their homes and communities. <\/p>\n<p>In situations like Hurricane Helene and other natural disasters, satellite communications are a critical part of emergency response to restore communications when cellular networks are out of service. <\/p>\n<p>For AT&amp;T, satellite communications is a tool in the toolkit when mobilizing in the wake of the storm. JR Wilson, vice president of Tower Strategy and Roaming for AT&amp;T, tells<em class=\"Annotation -emphasis\">Via Satellite<\/em> that AT&amp;T has a fleet of more than 750 deployable assets, many of which are equipped with satellite terminals. During the recent storms, satellite technology allowed the telco to maintain communication services despite damaged infrastructure. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a68cbcf145f7;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a68cbcf145f7 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a68cbcf145f8').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a68cbcf145f8'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur network teams worked hard to restore communications in some of the hardest-hit areas following Hurricane Helene. So far, Helene has been one of the largest mobilizations of our disaster recovery assets for emergency connectivity support,\u201d Wilson said. <\/p>\n<p>AT&amp;T supports first responders directly through FirstNet, a public-private partnership between the U.S. government and AT&amp;T that operates a wireless broadband network designed for first responders. This includes a dedicated fleet of over 180 land-based and airborne portable cell sites, deployed at the direction of public safety officials. <\/p>\n<p>Satellite technology is used in these assets like SatCOLTs \u2014 satellite cell on light trucks, which are vehicles equipped with mobile cell sites that connect via satellite and do not rely on a commercial power supply. It also includes CRDs \u2014 compact rapid deployable, which is a portable cell site that connects to the network via satellite. <\/p>\n<p>Wilson describes part of the response in Wheeler County, Georgia, which was without power for days after Helene. He said the county asked FirstNet for added connectivity and the response team deployed a CRD. This helped first responders communicate and set up their emergency operations center before regular service was fully restored in the area.<\/p>\n<p>He reported that public safety agencies on FirstNet have made more than 220 requests for emergency connectivity support across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia in response to Hurricane Helene. AT&amp;T worked with Intelsat to optimize satellite capacity to support these activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese efforts were essential to maintaining connectivity for our customers and first responders during this critical time,\u201d Wilson says. Satellite, he adds, \u201cis a very important tool we can deploy after a disaster, especially if the mobility or wireline network is damaged in any way. We do not have to wait for repairs for first responders and customers to have lifesaving connectivity. This makes satellite services a uniquely reliable tool especially during disaster response.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"flex flex-col justify-center items-center w-full image-block px-8\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" class=\"w-full object-cover mx-auto max-w-sm\" src=\"http:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IsnGvySa2Up7d9qbJ6Gg_sat-colt-asheville-nc-helene-768x475__1_.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"p-3 bg-gray-300 bg-opacity-50 italic mx-auto max-w-sm\">A SatCOLT \u2014 satellite cell on light truck \u2014 deployed in Asheville, North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.

UltiSat is the Speedcast subsidiary focused on the U.S. government and humanitarian relief. <\/p>\n<p>CEO David Myers tells <em class=\"Annotation -emphasis\">Via Satellite<\/em> the company delivered 500 Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) terminals to a major federal relief agency in October to be pre-positioned for Hurricane Milton\u2019s landing, and others to help with the recovery for Hurricane Helene.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor those who are in the immediate response, people have been pleased with the quality of the connectivity. It\u2019s not dependent on any local infrastructure, so people can get internet access again. It\u2019s not just for basic communication \u2014 the agencies themselves are using them to connect back to their enterprise applications, to manage supply chains, track inbound supplies and personnel, and collect data for assessing the damage,\u201d Myers says about the response to LEO connectivity. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a68cbcf14e15;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a68cbcf14e15 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a68cbcf14e16').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a68cbcf14e16'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>UltiSat has relationships with a number of federal agencies across the Department of Homeland Security, including Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Veteran Affairs, as well as NASA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and other federal agencies. It works with them to provide networking equipment both before and during natural disasters and emergencies. <\/p>\n<p>The company is one of the few companies authorized to integrate Starlink for the federal government and is also an integrator for Eutelsat OneWeb capacity. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese kinds of rapidly deployable communications become essential. In some of the locations where it\u2019s being deployed, cellular services are spotty at best or not available at all. Satellite becomes a very critical element of the response effort,\u201d he adds. <\/p>\n<p>UltiSat, for example, provides all of the IT infrastructure including satellite antenna, modem, computers, etc. that is integrated into 200 mobile clinics that are pre-positioned around the U.S. for disaster response by a large federal agency. These mobile clinics can be dispatched after a disaster to help people access insulin or oxygen or other medical supplies.  <\/p>\n<p>Myers explains many of the pre-deployed systems predominantly use Geostationary Orbit (GEO) connectivity. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re set up in order to provide a secure, private network. We can provide security protocols and private bandwidth dedicated just for that customer with a GEO network,\u201d Myers says. \u201cThat takes preparation. That\u2019s something that has to be set up and pre-deployed around the country.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>With more satellite options available and the ability of software-defined networking to route these different solutions, emergency managers can build communication plans with the concept of PACE in mind \u2014 primary, alternate, contingency, and emergency. Customers are now less focused on finding the least expensive single way to be connected and asking for more resilience, he says. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s the most resilient way that I can provide connectivity? How can I leverage multiple technologies so that if one of them is compromised for some reason \u2014 because of a disaster or because of a cyber incident \u2014how do I guarantee connectivity?\u201d Myers says, relaying the questions he hears from customers.  <\/p>\n<p>Hughes Network Systems also worked with state and federal agencies and partners to help provide broadband communications in the impacted areas after this year\u2019s storms. The company has always worked with GEO but is in the early stages of deploying LEO as a managed service provider of Eutelsat OneWeb. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a68cbcf155be;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a68cbcf155be = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a68cbcf155bf').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a68cbcf155bf'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>James Clevenger, director of Government Sales for Hughes Network Systems, says the company recently showcased its flat panel, electronically steered antenna (ESA) at the APCO 2024 conference in August, an event geared toward public safety communications. LEO has generated a lot of interest in the public safety community and questions about how to incorporate it, Clevenger says. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s anybody more aware of the need for real-time access [to connectivity] than this community. They\u2019re very aware of the need and they want to look at what\u2019s out there,\u201d he says. \u201cThey really value reliability. It has to work when they need it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Clevenger sees budget and purchase models as some of the biggest challenges to greater adoption of satellite solutions. He says as antennas become better, smaller, and lighter, it will drive adoption. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBudgeting is hard because you\u2019re trying to prepare for every single \u2018what if\u2019 on a shoestring budget,\u201d Clevenger says. \u201cI\u2019m always amazed at how state agencies and federal agencies do so much with little they\u2019re given. It\u2019s almost like insurance \u2014 you can never have enough, but you can only afford what you can afford.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>Directly in the Hands of the Public <\/h3>\n<p>Beyond equipping governments to respond to disasters, satellite has now reached the threshold where everyday people have access to it as they deal with disasters. <\/p>\n<p>The news this hurricane season was full of guides explaining how to use satellite messaging on newer iPhone and Google Pixel phones, and T-Mobile and Starlink received special temporary authority from the FCC to operate direct-to-cellular service in areas affected by Helene and Milton. There were firsthand accounts in the news and on social media about how this helped people get in touch when it really mattered. <\/p>\n<p>Others went out and purchased Starlink terminals for a quick-deployment broadband solution when service was out. SpaceX reported that it delivered thousands of Starlink kits in the hurricane response, and is offering the service for free through the end of the year in affected areas. <\/p>\n<p>One nonprofit aid organization, Operation Recovery, made Starlink part of its response. The nonprofit supports veterans and first responders, and made a number of deliveries to communities in North Carolina and Tennessee, delivering truckloads of supplies. <\/p>\n<p>Ian Patterson, executive director of Operation Recovery, drove a truck of supplies from Texas to the volunteer fire department in Roan Mountain, Tennessee, a small community in the Appalachian Mountains that was hit hard by flooding from Helene. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a68cbcf15d26;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a68cbcf15d26 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a68cbcf15d27').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a68cbcf15d27'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Along with generators, food, water, animal feed and other supplies, Patterson\u2019s truck carried five Starlink terminals. The organization saw the need and quickly purchased Starlink kits off-the-shelf at Home Depot. \u201cLet\u2019s just grab them and go,\u201d Patterson says, recounting how quickly it came together. <\/p>\n<p>Operation Recovery also assisted in Asheville, North Carolina, with the intent of setting up places to coordinate search and rescue, supply requests, and let people communicate with loved ones. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you can\u2019t communicate, you can\u2019t tell people what you need. Now these people can communicate with friends and family and let folks know that they\u2019re okay,\u201d he says.  <\/p>\n<p>Patterson is a veteran and was deployed in Afghanistan in 2008. He remembers using a satellite phone to call home and marvels at how far the technology has come. Now, people who don\u2019t have a background in satellite or network management have the ability to establish communications when networks are down. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve never had a domestic ability to deploy \u2018over-the-counter\u2019 satellite technology. It is an absolute game-changer moving forward, both on the aid side as well as for those who are in need,\u201d Patterson says. <\/p>\n<h3>A Critical Lifeline <\/h3>\n<p>Globalstar provides the satellite connectivity that supports Apple\u2019s satellite messaging. But the company also has a niche in disaster communications with the SPOT messaging devices that are known for affordability and reliability to send short-burst messages. <\/p>\n<p>Jake Rembert, vice president of sales for SPOT explains that thousands of the devices are used by state and federal governments but also consumers who buy the devices on retail and use them for boating, backpacking, hunting, and more. <\/p>\n<p>These devices are often used in search and rescue operations  \u2014 quick check-ins that include GPS locations. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere we shine is the ability to send messages quickly. You don\u2019t have to point your antenna or wait for a long time for a message to get through,\u201d Rembert says. \u201cThere\u2019s lots of broadband options out there, broadband wouldn\u2019t work for these needs. It takes too long to set it up. There\u2019s no power, it\u2019s heavy trees.
