Vodafone and Intelsat, the integrated satellite and terrestrial network operator, on September 23 expanded their partnership to offer wider coverage with temporary and so-called on-the-move services, which are effectively satellite communications systems, designed to provide continuous and reliable connectivity while on the go. A technology that comes in handy especially for organizations that operate in hard-to-reach or disaster-prone areas.

The deal will complement Vodafone's terrestrial networks, providing companies with broadband connections in remote areas with limited service. This means that businesses, governments and charities can use it for a variety of applications, such as tracking valuable cargo, connecting to new or temporary locations, providing additional resilience and responding to emergency situations.

Intelsat's service will also be used to support Vodafone's charitable arm, the Vodafone Foundation, in initiatives related to health and education across Europe and Africa. The Vodafone Foundation is also ready to provide assistance to non-profit organizations, governments and emergency services so that they can respond faster and better to natural and humanitarian emergencies.
