Pandemic response
Selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) to rapidly investigate the use of space technologies in response to the COVID 19 crisis, Skytek’s React 2 builds on the company’s work in satellite and emergency communications to deliver key stakeholders, from national and regional health bodies, to hospitals and first responders on the ground, a truly innovative pandemic response system. Streamlined reporting and communication, all fully encrypted, and with support for audio, video, text, document sharing, shared whiteboards and geographical information systems (GIS) will allow for rapid response, all accessible over multiple communications media including cellular telephony and satellite even in geographic terrain or under weather conditions where communication typically proves difficult.
Key benefits of React 2
- Virtual ‘command and control’ centre providing encrypted information sharing and collaboration
- Access controllable on a need-to-know basis
- Nationally and locally filterable outbreak data
- Flexible and scalable infrastructure not made vulnerable by a single point of failure
- Automated procedures facilitating better information flow
