Multiemedia praised for supporting leading seismology institute’s earthquake relief efforts in Iran
Thursday, 24th February 2005
Multiemedia Limited's satellite division, NewSat, has been praised by the International Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Seismology for providing critical communications in remote locations and assisting in their efforts to save lives.
NewSat's world leading technology and ability to provide broadband and VoIP communications to remote locations enabled the institute's experts to pin point the earth quake disaster area in less than 3 minutes from moment it occurred.
As Professor Zare, Director of the Seismology Research Centre explained, "time is critical in moments of disaster and NewSat's satellite communications gave the much needed support which enabled disaster relief to begin immediately".
The seismology institute has negotiated with NewSat for the support to be ongoing into the future with even wider coverage of earthquake prone regions where old technology communication companies are unable to assist.
Multiemedia CEO Adrian Ballintine, said, “Multiemedia's Satellite Division, NewSat, has a office in the middle east that is achieving great success in gaining contracts to deploy unique satellite solutions on a consistent basis throughout region”.
“NewSat has again proven itself to be a world leader in the delivery of high-quality communications services in remote locations using people, process and technology that outperforms other telecommunications service providers”.
Mr Ballintine also noted that he was “confident of many more opportunities for NewSat in the Middle East, North Africa, Kazakhstan and surrounding countries and that the company had a key role to play in the continued growth and development of the region”.
