Company Details:
Industry: Disaster Response & Communications
Location: Based in Barcelona, Spain, operating throughout Europe
The Challenge:
This emergency response technology company sought to improve disaster response across Europe by providing real-time communication and data sharing tools for relief teams. Their mission was to ensure seamless coordination and faster response during natural disasters such as floods, wildfires and earthquakes.
The Problem:
Natural disasters often result in the destruction of communications infrastructure, leaving emergency responders unable to coordinate their efforts effectively. This lack of reliable communication at critical moments delays rescue operations and endangers lives, particularly in regions prone to extreme weather conditions such as southern Spain, Greece and Italy.
The Solution:
The company partnered with Brdy to provide Starlink, a LEO (low earth orbit) solution, which can be quickly deployed during disaster relief efforts. This allowed rescue teams to establish secure communications networks in areas where traditional infrastructure had been compromised, enabling real-time coordination and information sharing between teams on the ground and central command centres.
The Impact:
By using satellite communications technology, the company enabled faster and more organised relief efforts in disaster-stricken regions across Europe. Communication hubs were established within hours of arrival, significantly improving the efficiency of disaster response teams.
The Result:
Over the years, the company has played a critical role in more than 30 major disaster responses across Europe, including earthquakes in Greece and floods in the Balkans. Its portable kit set-ups have enabled faster, more coordinated operations, saving lives and minimising the impact of natural disasters on affected communities. Today, they are recognised as a vital partner for governments and humanitarian organisations during emergencies across Europe.
