TiPS Today in Public Safety with Fletch

TiPS Episode 25 0818 – Dispatching from Orbit: Is 911 Ready for Lift-Off

Listen Later

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.
