NSSLGlobal, a leading independent full-service project engineering, satcom and systems integrator, is providing satellite communications services and technology to Germany’s Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (Bundesamt für Bevӧlkerungsshutz und Katastrophenhilfe, or BBK).

NSSLGlobal is a trusted supplier to the German Bundeswehr and local civil administrative departments for their management and delivery of critical crisis communications.

NSSLGlobal will provide the 24/7 connectivity, hardware and technical support that BBK teams need when operating in extreme conditions to protect Germany. Portable satcom is the key to secure, rapid communications and the command and control of dispersed, small units, avoiding the delays and interruptions to terrestrial infrastructure that often accompany emergencies.

Providing voice and data communications, NSSLGlobal will enable operators to pass vital information to decision-makers and those at the operational face at critical times. In addition, the BBK will use NSSLGlobal’s INSIGHT business management portal, to provide users real-time information on all interactions, for comprehensive monitoring, control and alerting along with the provision of data records.

Dr Swen Zehetmair, Head of Unit, Unit A.II.2 – Ensuring the Operational Capability of Equipment – Technology, BBK, said: “NSSLGlobal is providing us with the robust, always-on solution we need for our teams in the field to remain fully connected in highly challenging and complex emergencies when conventional terrestrial infrastructure may be overloaded or out of action. This solution combines high levels of resilience and ease of use with a trusted provider, which matches our requirements precisely.”

Sally-Anne Ray, NSSLGlobal Group CEO, said: “We are extremely proud to have been selected to provide a secure solution to the BBK, a vital emergency organisation protecting people and places in Germany in circumstances we hope never happen. Using our best-of-breed approach, we always take care to fit the solution to each set of requirements – however demanding – and look forward to developing this important partnership.”
