Background

The PSBA provides multi agency communications services for disaster responses in Queensland via its PSN network.

The network provides real time operational services such as voice, radio and video conferencing.

In order to provide certainty of coverage in regional and remote areas, the PSBA utilise CNG’s mobile VSAT systems.

Approach

CNG was engaged through its partner Optus and worked closely with Optus and the PSBA to optimise the solution and provide ongoing support.

Solution

The PSBA currently have 3 mobile vehicle auto acquisition systems on their command vehicles providing a communications platform independent mobile office.

A further nine Fly Away, auto acquisition systems compliment the command vehicle and these can be rapidly transported and deployed in any location providing instant bandwidth.

Being auto acquisition, the systems require little user knowledge, allowing the agencies to focus on their role in time of emergency rather than technology.

Regular on site maintenance inspections by CNG ensure this critical equipment is operational ready at all times.
