In this episode, we explore the vital role that communication technology plays in disaster relief efforts and why there may be better approaches than relying solely on cutting-edge solutions. While satellite networks like Starlink offer impressive capabilities, recent disasters like hurricanes Helene and Milton have demonstrated that combining old and new tech is often the most reliable answer. When power lines are down, and Internet access is severed, traditional communication tools like walkie-talkies, which may seem outdated, still prove their worth. These durable and easily deployable devices provide a fail-safe way to coordinate on the ground when high-tech solutions fall short. We'll discuss the strengths and limitations of satellite communication in crisis situations and why blending satellite systems with tried-and-true technologies is crucial for effective disaster relief. Please tune in to find out why, sometimes, old school is still the best school.
