Vizada to the Rescue, Again

Once more, Vizada, a provider of global satellite communications solutions, will support Télécoms Sans Frontières (Telecom Without Borders) in its humanitarian missions throughout 2008. The two players are announcing the renewal of their partnership for a third year. Télécoms Sans Frontières (TSF) specializes in emergency telecommunications, supporting aid agencies and local authorities in areas where conflict or natural disasters have caused a breakdown in traditional communications. The two companies complement one other with Vizada’s satellite voice and data communications solutions (email, internet, videoconferencing, etc.), enabling TSF employees to deploy telecoms centers in a 24-hour period following a major incident. The centers provide relief to local populations, enable them to communicate with family and friends, locate each other more easily and reassure and raise morale in crisis situations, and transmit images of conflicts or natural disasters in order to raise awareness around the world—Paris, France
