Find information about how Hughes' Inter-Government Crisis Network (IGCN) can meet the challenges of the next natural or man-made disaster. A satellite-based path-diverse network of networks run over SPACEWAY® 3, IGCN provides an unprecedented capability for federal, state, and local government leaders to communicate securely and reliably during an emergency.
If a disaster strikes, does your government agency network have a reliable back-up? If it does, are you confident that it can provide secure, resilient communications during an emergency? If not, act now and be prepared to maintain network connectivity and fulfill mission requirements when a crisis hits. The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 provides funding for government agencies to implement broadband technology and improve public safety networks. The Hughes Inter-Government Crisis Network or IGCN fits the bill. IGCN enables instant networking of multiple agencies to share critical information and enhance decision-making, before, during and after an emergency. It's the only solution with an alternate satellite path, separate from terrestrial vulnerabilities, and uses the world's most powerful satellite system, SPACEWAY® 3 from Hughes
Today's defense forces are constantly on the move, supporting strategic military objectives, providing tactical support for operations, and gathering intelligence against our enemies. To achieve mission success, they need situational awareness at all times - which calls for communications systems that work reliably everywhere- on the ground, at sea, or in the air. Hughes has the advanced broadband solutions to do the job. A leader in Communications-On-The-Move satellite broadband technology, Hughes has the know-how and experience to deliver secure and efficient communications solutions wherever the need, and however demanding the mission.
Hughes recently launched the Inter-Government Crisis Network or IGCN, a comprehensive emergency communications solution powered by its SPACEWAY® 3 satellite, the world's first switch-in-the-sky network.
IGCN helps agencies accomplish key homeland security and IT goals that are part of the Obama Administration's Agenda. This includes increasing the coordination among federal, state, and local government leaders during a crisis; modernizing public safety networks; and improving interoperable communications during an emergency.
Hughes recently launched the Inter-Government Crisis Network or IGCN - a unique satellite-based solution that enables government agencies to communicate securely and reliably in preparing for and responding to an emergency—when terrestrial networks are most vulnerable to failure. Powered by the Hughes SPACEWAY® 3 satellite system, the world's first with onboard switching and routing, IGCN does not rely on the Internet, providing a cyber-attack safe environment that is unaffected by events on the ground and is interoperable among multiple agencies and levels of government.
