Vizada has renewed its partnership agreement with Télécoms Sans Frontières to provide mobile satellite communications services in 2010, including a comprehensive training program for TSF personnel.
TSF
used
Vizada’s
mobile
satellite
services
on
14
separate
occasions
in
2009,
notably
in
Haiti
in
January
2010
where
representatives
set
up a
telecoms
center
for
Haitians
to
call
family
and
friends
abroad,
and
to
improve
coordination
on
the
ground
between
NGOs
workers.
“We’ve
worked
with
Vizada
for
12
years
now,
and
each
year
we
find
together
ways
of
improving
the
mobile
satellite
services
that
make
up
our
telecoms
centers,”
said
Jean-François
Cazenave,
President
of
TSF.
“It’s
vital
for
us
to
be
able
to
provide
NGOs
a
reliable
telecoms
service
on
the
ground,
and
we’re
looking
forward
to
the
training
to
see
how
we
can
improve
this
further.”
In
addition
to
TSF,
Vizada
supplies
mobile
satellite
services
to a
number
of
nongovernmental
organisations
and
first
responders
-
including
Médecins
sans
Frontières,
International
Red
Cross,
United
Nations
organisations,
and
the
United
States
Army
Corps
of
Engineers.
Vizada
has
a
dedicated
team
and
offering
in
place
to
cater
for
these
organisations’
specific
requirements.
