MCX Over LEO:
How TASSTA and Servicio Satelital Elevated Emergency Communications in Argentina
Empowering Frontline Response with Mobile Mission-Critical Networks
In a country as geographically vast and diverse as Argentina, ensuring reliable communication during emergencies remains a significant challenge. From remote areas with limited infrastructure to disaster zones where conventional networks fail, staying connected can be the key to transforming chaos into coordinated action.
To meet this challenge head-on, TASSTA and Servicio Satelital S.A. joined forces to deploy a revolutionary mobile emergency communication system. By integrating mission-critical Push-to-Talk (MCXPTT) technology with LEO satellite broadband connectivity via Starlink. The result is a fully autonomous, secure, and rapidly deployable communications network designed to perform under the most extreme conditions.
The Challenge: Communication Blackouts in Critical Moments
Natural disasters, infrastructure failures, and Argentina’s remote landscapes often leave first responders without access to reliable communications. Traditional cellular and radio systems are either unavailable or slow to recover, putting lives and operations at risk.
Emergency services needed a solution that could:
- Operate independently of local infrastructure
- Be deployed in minutes without technical complexity
- Ensure secure, mission-critical communications across any terrain
The Solution: A Mobile Network That Goes Where Others Can’t
- 3GPP-compliant MCXPTT and Push-to-Video
- GPS tracking for real-time team coordination
- Emergency alerting and lone worker protection
- Secure voice, video, and data over LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, and satellite
- High-performance satellite broadband via Starlink
- Expertise in multi-orbit satellite architecture (GEO, MEO, LEO)
- Reliable coverage for hard-to-reach or damaged areas
Results: Resilience, Agility, and Unmatched Reliability
- Rapid Deployment: Modular kits can be set up in under 10 minutes
- Operational Autonomy: Full functionality without grid power or cellular infrastructure
- High Security: Encrypted end-to-end communications and strict access control
- Nationwide Reach: Seamless service across remote and underserved regions
What They’re Saying
Looking Ahead
This milestone deployment marks a new era of critical communications for Argentina. By fusing TASSTA’s powerful software with Servicio Satelital’s satellite expertise, the two companies are setting a new benchmark for emergency preparedness.
Whether facing floods, fires, blackouts, or earthquakes, first responders now have the tools they need to communicate instantly, securely, and reliably—anywhere, anytime.
