Infrastructure-free
Works without local towers, fibre or power grids.
Relief comms
Connectivity that works when everything else fails.
The challenge
Disaster relief & NGOs
When floods or earthquakes take down towers and power, coordination stops. Satellite networks do not depend on local infrastructure.
Thuraya handsets, hotspots and repeaters help relief teams coordinate rescue, medical and supply efforts from the first hour.

FAQ
Common questions
Do satellite phones work during floods when mobile networks are down?
Yes. Thuraya phones connect directly to the satellite, so they work when local towers and power are out, as long as they have a view of the sky.
