Background
Parks agencies include vast, remote areas where internet connectivity is lacking. Reliable online access is increasingly necessary for staff operations, safety, and to meet visitor expectations for services and information.
Traditional internet options—such as cable or cellular— are not viable in many parks due to cost, difficult terrain, and infrastructure limits. Older satellite systems were slow and unreliable, leaving staff and visitors without vital communication tools.
Using TEAMSOS for service plans and hardware, park departments could deploy low-level satellites in remote areas. Low-level satellites provide fast, dependable connectivity for staff communication, emergency response, and improved visitor services. Low-level satellites offer a flexible, effective approach that can be combined with other technologies for even better coverage.
This Use Case shows how modern satellite internet can close the digital gap in remote public lands, setting an example for similar regions in need of reliable connection.

Background
Park departments manage many sites in remote areas, where providing digital amenities such as ticketing, information, and payment kiosks is challenging due to unreliable or unavailable internet access. Traditional infrastructure like fiber or cellular networks may not be feasible or cost-effective in these locations.
Without dependable connectivity, kiosks could struggle to offer real-time services, causing delays for visitors and increasing manual work for park staff. Ensuring efficient visitor services and streamlined operations may become difficult, especially with modern expectations for digital convenience.
Park departments could deploy low-level satellite internet at select remote locations. Low-level satellite provides high-speed, reliable connectivity for digital kiosks, enabling real-time ticketing, reservations, and visitor information. This transition could reduce wait times, improve visitor experience, and allow staff to focus on other critical tasks.

Background
Fire crews regularly confront wildfires in isolated and rugged terrain where traditional communication networks are often unreliable or rendered useless by fire damage. In such high-risk scenarios, real-time information sharing is crucial for effective emergency response and the protection of both personnel and communities.
Challenges
· Conventional systems frequently fail in the field due to destroyed infrastructure and limited coverage in remote areas.
· Establishing stable connections for dozens of devices is difficult under crisis conditions.
· Satellite connections require unobstructed views of the sky and a reliable power supply, which can be hard to secure in wildfire environments.
Solution
TEAMSOS supplies low-level satellite monthly service and portable, self-aligning satellite dishes to fire teams, enabling rapid setup of high-speed internet access in various operational locations. The deployment of low-level satellites to mobile units, command posts, and fire camps has facilitated consistent real-time data sharing, live mapping, and coordination across agencies. The straightforward installation process and compatibility with multiple devices have contributed to supporting decision-making, crew safety, and public information management during wildfire responses.

Background
Wildlife conservation agencies play a pivotal role in managing a state’s diverse natural resources, supporting preservation efforts, and enabling public access to critical information. Reliable internet connectivity is essential for those departments’ daily operations, including data collection, remote monitoring, inter-agency communication, and public outreach.
Challenges
Agencies may experience recurring internet connection issues affecting field offices and administrative centers. These disruptions may manifest as intermittent outages, slow upload and download speeds, and unstable remote access to core databases and communication platforms. Field staff may encounter difficulties in uploading real-time survey data, leading to delays in resource assessment and reporting. Unstable connections may heighten cybersecurity risks, particularly during data transfers between remote field stations and central databases. Key elements are:
· Outdated network infrastructure and hardware in remote locations
· Inadequate bandwidth to support increased digital operations
· Geographic challenges and limited internet service provider options in remote areas
Solution
To address these challenges, the agencies may partner with TEAMSOS to deploy low-level satellite hardware and internet services. Reliable, high-speed connectivity could enable field teams to efficiently share data, coordinate activities, respond quickly to incidents, and utilize digital tools essential for effective resource management.
