Could the future of 911 be… out of this world? In this episode, we explore the potential of moving core emergency communications to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites — eliminating the need for vulnerable ground-based radio towers.
We break down:
- The orbital differences between GEO, MEO, and LEO
- How constellations like Starlink are already used in disaster recovery
- The advantages of satellite-based ECC connectivity
- Why mobile, portable ECCs could be game-changers for resiliency
- The challenges and reality checks before launch
No, we’re not strapping call takers into rockets (yet), but the concept of “dispatch from space” might not be science fiction for long.
🎧 Listen now and join the conversation about the future of Public Safety communications.
